Swimming Pool Coating Existing Epoxy Coated Pools

Preparation:

Apply one coat of Chemclean Degreaser, dilute Chemclean concrete powder in approximately 5 litres hot water, stir then add cold water to make 20 litres.  Apply using a plastic watering can,  agitate with nylon brush then waterblast clean.  Allow to dry.

Sanding:

Sand total area use 80 grit sandpaper on a pole sander or machine sand, remove all dust.

Sealer Coat:

Apply to dry concrete one coat of Optiseal, mix equal parts A & B (1 to 1) apply using a roller thoroughly flooding total concrete area.  Allow 2-8 hours to cure.

Intermediate Coat:

Add Armepoxy A & B into a 10-20 litre clean pail: mix 3 parts Armepoxy 'A' with 1 part Armepoxy 'B' by volume. 

(Please do not mix Armepoxy in the original 4 litre tins as adequate mixing will not be achieved.)  Apply one coat of Armepoxy to total area using a mohair roller.  Allow 8-20 hours to cure, do not exceed 20 hours before re-coating in hot conditions.  If this cure time is exceeded due to rain then the Armepoxy will require pole sanding with 80 -120 grit sandpaper before further application as Armepoxxy becomes very chemical resistant after 24 hours.

Top Finish Coats:

Mix Ultracoat in desired colour, equal parts (1 to1) by volume, apply 1 -2 coats using a mohair roller and pole, roll out in two directions then lay off downwards with the weight of roller only, overlap each pass maintaining a wet edge.  Allow 4-8 hours between coats.  Do not exceed overcoat times as adhesion could be impaired.

Always refer to Special Finishes if unsure or on unfamiliar substrate types before commencing.
