Alternative to plaster. Silicone & UV Stabilizers act like a "Sunblock" against blistering UV sunrays, giving a tile finish. Longest lasting protection against fade. Apply over most types of epoxy pool coatings in good condition, as well as bare concrete, plaster, gunite and fiberglass. Dries quickly, durable, and resists fading, chemicals and abrasion. Mix ratio is 1:1. Designed for maximum protection against algae, UV rays, automatic pool cleaning machines and chlorine. RATED #1 by over 10 magazines, including Pool & Spa Life, Luxury Pool Design, Outdoor Living Features, AG Custom Pool Magazines. Thinner with Xylene (buy locally. Use for clean up/thinning: thinning not to exceed 10% per gallon of epoxy paint. How much paint do I need Use this quick formula to calculate how much paint you'll need for your pool. To figure out the amount of paint required: Length x Width x 1.7 = square footage x 2 (2 coats) Divided by 500 (coverage per 2 gallon kit) = kits needed (remember that the product is sold in a 2 gallon kit) Coverage is about 500 sq. ft./ per 2 gallon kit per coat. 2 coats are recommended for proper application. - No Primer Needed - Self Priming Paint SUGGESTED USES: Concrete, plaster, gunite, fiberglass pools, spas, etc. COLORS: White, Medium Blue, Aqua, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Black FINISH: Gloss. For a non-skid finish, add pumice stone, sand or marble dust to paint as needed to achieve desired appearance. VEHICLE TYPE: Epoxy Resin & Polyamide Curing Agents SOLVENT TYPE: High Flash Naphtha, Diacetone Alcohol, Butyl Cellosolve FLASH POINT: 81degF Seta Flash SOLIDS BY WEIGHT: 68% WEIGHT PER GALLON: 11.8 lbs. per gallon (varies by color) RECOMMENDED DRY FILM: 4.6 mils COVERAGE: 200/250 sq. ft per gallon or 400/500 sq. ft. per 2 gallon activated kit. 25% - 50% less coverage will occur on bare, rough, or sandblasted surfaces. A minimum of 2 coats are recommended for proper protection. Be sure to calculate this into your projected quantities needed to paint your pool surface before starting. VISCOSITY AT 75degF (24degC): 120-140 KU (mixed). Add thinner as needed for proper rollout performance. AVERAGE DRY TIME 75degF: Dries to touch in 6-8 hours. Lower temperatures & higher humidity will slow down dry times. Recoat with no sanding required between 16 hours and 72 hours. Allow a minimum of 5 days drying time for complete cure before filling pool with water. Add 1 day of extra drying time for every day of rain to the surface. WAIT 5 DAYS AFTER FINAL COAT BEFORE FILLING POOL WITH WATER. RECOMMENDED REDUCER: Xylene or High Flash Naphtha as needed for proper rollout performance. RESISTANCE TO: Chlorine, Alkali, Algae, Mineral Oils, Fresh and Salt Water RECOMMENDED PRIMERS: Self Priming APPLICATION: Brush, Spray, Roller (preferred) Roll: 3/8" or 1/2" nap mohair metal, lambskin, phenolic core roller. Keep roller wet. Roll in one direction, rewet, then cross roll. Spray: Conventional Air 50 -70 psi, Tip Size .055-.070, Airless 2200- 2500 psi, Tip Size .019-.023. SURFACE PREPARATION: Water blast the surface to remove all loose paint, dirt, oils and grease. Clean with a Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) wash, scrubbing surface to get rid of oil, dirt and suntan lotions, and then etched with a 15-20% solution of muriatic acid. Then thoroughly rinse with TSP & flush with plenty of fresh water and allowed to dry thoroughly. Glossy surfaces should be power sanded to a 80 grit profile for proper adhesion. LIMITATIONS: Do not apply if material, substrate or ambient temperature is below 50degF or above 90degF. NOT FOR VINYL LINED POOLS. SHELF LIFE: Minimum 36 months MIXING: Mix for 2-3 minutes both Part A & Part B individually, and then mix 2-3 minutes the combined volumes (1:1 Mix Ratio). Allow mixed solution to rest for 5 minutes maximium before using. Mix only what you expect to use in a 1-2 hour period. POT LIFE: 1-2 hours at 75degF, 50% Humidity. Higher temperatures will substantially shorten the pot life. Only mix enough Part A Base and Part B Activator that you will use within 1-2 hour time. PACKAGE: 1 Gallon cans (2 per case), 5 gallon pails |
