SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
Non-Porous Surfaces (Fibre Glass, Old Epoxy, Glass, etc.)
- Wash surface well to clean and remove all dirt, dust or surface latencies. Rinse and allow to dry.
- Sand surfaces to a clean matt finish. Remove sanding dust.
- Open Base (Part A) and Catalyst (Part B). Empty the entire content of the Catalyst (Part B) tin into the Base tin (Part A). All of Part B must be removed from the tin and mixed into the Base (Part A) tin. Part A and Part B must be well mixed with a broad flat paddle (not a broomstick). Failure to carry out these instructions will result in a final product that will not cure properly. Spread rate: 8m² / litre per coat Mixing Ratio: Base (Part A): 100gms Catalyst (Part B): 26.5gms
- Apply 1 coat of PoolCure Epoxy Top Coat to the surface at 8m² per litre. Once Part A and Part B have been mixed together you will have ± 1 hour at 25°C to use the product before it begins hardening (pot life). Allow 12 hours to dry (Not longer than 24 hours) before applying a second coat.
The product will be touch dry in 6 hours. Should PoolCure be allowed to dry longer than 24 hours @ 25°C, it must first be sanded before application of a second coat. At lower temperatures the curing process will take longer than quoted above.
Porous Surfaces
