Preparation:
|
Pooltite® should
be applied to a sound surface free of oil, dirt, algae or any other
foreign substance. Previously applied paints or sealers must be removed
by acid washing and/or sandblasting. Neutralize acid with baking soda
or soda ash then thoroughly rinse with water. In addition to, or in
partial replacement of, the procedures mentioned above, CLI PermaKote‘®
could be used as a bonding coat. Re-finished pools must be undercut
an appropriate distance around all tile, return lines, light fixtures
and main drains. All weepers and plumbing leaks should be repaired
at least 24 hours prior to plaster application. |

standard mixing equipment, it is important to blend each batch for
the same amount of time.
2. Mix Pooltite® with approximately 2 to 2 1/2 gallons of potable water
per 80-lb. bag.
3. Start the mixing procedure by adding approximately 2/3 of the total
water requirements to the mixer, and Pooltite® then add the balance
of water.

methods.
2. Apply Pooltite® over a lightly dampened (no standing
water) surface to a uniform thickness of approximately 3/8."
3. If application must be interrupted, finish to a natural break to
prevent joints from showing.
4. Substrate conditions will have a direct relationship on the thickness
of application and coverage rates per bag.
5. Pooltite® should be applied in temperatures exceeding
40†F.
