I own a caulking company, we caulk over 200 pools a season in the mid atlantic. The caulking we use is a two part poly urathane caulk. You can use a one part polyurathane caulk as well it's just not as good. This joint is an expansion joint that seperates the coping from the deck (concrete, pavers, etc). When you use sertain caulking material in conjunction with their speciefied primer they are considered submersible.
Nothing, the coping should slope back away from the pool
If there is no caulking joint there then you just don't "creat" one. If there is in fact a joint with old caulking it then yes you can remove 100% of the old stuff and use Deck-o-seal.
What about "pool coping installation" ??????
Pool coping should be level. If it is "bullnose" brick they should all be about the save height all the way around the pool. A cantilever coping should be level as well. there should be no toe stubbers.
Yes, it is possible to replace pool coping. Pool coping is the material that covers the top edge of the pool structure and serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Over time, coping may deteriorate, become damaged, or simply need an update to improve the pool's appearance or functionality. Here are the basic steps involved in replacing pool coping: Assessment: Begin by assessing the condition of the existing pool coping. Determine if it can be repaired or if a complete replacement is necessary. Choose New Coping Material: Select the new coping material that suits your preferences and budget. Common pool coping materials include natural stone, concrete, brick, and pavers. Ensure that the chosen material is appropriate for pool use and complements your pool's design. Remove Existing Coping: If replacement is required, carefully remove the old coping material. This may involve using tools such as a chisel or a jackhammer to break up and remove the old coping. Prepare the Substrate: Ensure that the pool's edge and surrounding area are properly prepared. This may involve leveling the substrate, repairing any damage, and creating a smooth, stable surface for the new coping. Install New Coping: Lay the new coping material in place, starting from one end and working your way around the pool. Use mortar or adhesive appropriate for the chosen material to secure the coping in position. Grout and Seal: Once the coping is in place, grout the joints between the coping pieces to create a seamless appearance. Seal the coping to protect it from water, UV rays, and other environmental factors. Finish and Clean: After the grout and sealant have set, clean the pool coping and the surrounding area thoroughly. Ensure that the pool is ready for use. It's essential to hire a professional with experience in pool coping installation if you're not confident in your ability to complete the job correctly. Proper installation is crucial for the safety, longevity, and appearance of your pool coping.

It depends on the pool and it's age. For most pools it is an easy job to replace your coping. However, for some pools it is impossible to get replacement parts because they are so old and the companies no longer exist. Some pool companies have resources where custom pool coping can be designed and manufactured, but it's costly and you need to be very specific.
