Just a note of caution to anyone. The pool being outside does not mean you do not need self protection. Wear a 1/2 face mask with the right vapor filter , for the chemical job. On a day with no wind, the epoxy fumes will build up in the pool. word of caution.

Everyone, please ensure putting part B (catalyst) in the container first. This will ensure a more complete mixing of the two components.

The hardener is of lower viscosity and adding this into the mixing container first can be a help as mentioned. Always use an electric drill with a proper mixing tip to ensure a good mix. Adding two containers will also ensure a homogeneous composition. In the case where only one person is handling the application and decanting of smaller quantities is required, please stir the Topcoat Part A separately every time before measuring out with a measuring mug and decanting of the two components in the indicated mix ratio. This might also be necessary where only a small area is left over to be coated and full container quantities will be too much mixed product.

Damn is that the biggest rollers you have over there, thats alot of work

150mm White Mohair is what we use currently. Larger Rollers do not cover well in hollow spots. Painting out of buckets with handles works better for epoxies to obtain a longer pot life and keeping the paint bucket in hand. 150mm Rollers can still fit into buckets.

Hello, I've just bought pool solutions top coat. My pool is fiberglass coated, I drained it and had to clean it with an acid. You mentioned not to use an acid, now that I have what steps can I take to neutralize the acid to prepare the surface, Before I paint it?
@immortalme1113 жыл бұрын
Hi, use one packet of Bicarbonate of soda in a 20L Bucket of water. Splash the surface with a splash brush, leave for 30 minutes to soak and neutralize acid. Then high pressure wash with garden hose under thumb pressure. Scoop water out and mop up, let dry. Sand surface with p60 sandpaper before applying the epoxy Primer.

What is the lifetime of this surfacing what is the approximate cost?
@PoolSolutionsEpoxyCoatings4 жыл бұрын
Based on historical data the expected lifespan before top-coat will thin out and will need a refurbishing coat is 8-10 years provided the water balance is generally kept within specifications. We are operating from Pretoria, South Africa. DIY cost is +/- R 100 - R 110 per square meter.Visit us at www.poolsolutions.co.za for a detailed quote.

Hoeveel liter Epoxy paint en primer gaan ek nodig he. Ek het n marbalite swembad. Ek is man alleen wat dit moet aanpak en dit lyk na n groot job. Wat sal jy vra vir sulke werk ( Quote )

After sanding do you vacuum the dust from that process out
@immortalme1114 жыл бұрын
You just need to basically broom and scoop the loose material out of the pool, no need to be super-dust-free. You may use dry cloth or brush to ensure the sides are free from accessive loose material.
