Has anyone used, or heard of someone using, Loctite PC 9410 Mfr # 235573 for repairing cracks and holes in a gunite shell?

The product specs infer it's an excellent concrete repair material in terms of strength, adhesion and durability. I haven't found any mention of its use to repair gunite in a chlorine based pool, nor how well plaster would bond to it. I am awaiting a reply to an inquiry I've made to the manufacture's support team.
