Poolcote Redo

DESCRIPTION

POOLCOTE RE-DO is a polymer modified, cement and marble based swimming pool plaster finish specifically designed for refinish applications. POOLCOTE RE-DO is a factory blended pool plaster that is formulated to provide superior adhesion properties.

USES

POOLCOTE RE-DO is the preferred product when faced with replastering an existing pool and the desired result is a monolithic, high quality plaster finish designed to withstand the high bond, high strength demanded in a refinish application.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

	Ease of application
	Excellent leveling and filling properties
	Greater resistance to shrinkage and cracking
	Increased hardness and adhesion via polymer modification
	Increased resistance to chemicals, oils, abrasions and staining

COVERAGE

POOLCOTE RE-DO is packaged in 80 lb. bags and must be applied at a rate not to exceed 25-30 square feet per bag. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the
substrate.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Patch, level or resurface as required to provide a smooth substrate. Surface must be clean, cool, dry and free of dirt, grease, paint, release agents, curing agents, special surface hardeners, efflorescence or other foreign matter that may prevent or inhibit proper bonding.

NOTE: Only the experienced applicator at poolside can make the decisions as to what surface preparation may be required.

1) On previously plastered pools it is
necessary to grind around the tile,lights, returns, etc., to allow for a smooth transition.

2) On previously painted pools, the surface must be sandblasted to remove the old paint completely.

3) Thoroughly wash the surface with a TSP solution to remove body oils and suntan lotions. Acid wash with a 50/50 solution of muriatic acid and water, rinse with a neutralizing solution of baking soda and water, then finally rinse with clean water.

4) An application of Surebond 80 is highly recommended on previously
plastered surfaces as a bond or scratch coat to provide a uniform base for adhesion and even curing.

MIXING

Measuring equal amounts of water and mixing for equal amounts of time from batch to batch will ensure product consistency from batch to batch. Boxing different batch #'s will ensure final color uniformity. POOLCOTE RE-DO will require approximately 2-2 ½ gallons of potable water per bag. Start the mixing process by adding ? of the total required water to the mixer. Add the appropriate amount of POOLCOTE RE-DO and then add the remaining ? of the required water. Mix for approximately 5 minutes to bring the material to a workable consistency. Allow the mix to set for 5 minutes, then remix and add additional water if necessary to achieve the desired workable consistency. Do not retemper the mix after this.

POOLCOTE RE-DO is a complete product and requires no other additives. To avoid any complications it is highly recommended that no calcium chloride be used.

If you choose to use calcium chloride, it must be used with caution, as "more is not better". It is always best to use 94 - 97% purity at a maximum of 1/3 lb. per bag. If 77% purity is used, the maximum is ½ lb. per bag. 77% purity contains 23% filler material, which may include ingredients that could be harmful to the finished product. Always pre-dissolve calcium chloride
and remove impurities by straining through cheesecloth.

NOTE: At the maximum addition rates, flash setting, trowel burning and other difficulties in both placing and finishing may occur.

APPLICATION

1) After POOLCOTE RE-DO has been properly mixed, it may be trowel or spray applied over a dampened substrate. The recommended thickness is ¼" - ?".

2) Allow POOLCOTE RE-DO to stiffen sufficiently. Let the water leave the surface before smooth troweling the finish.

NOTE: Only tools that will not mar or stain the POOLCOTE RE-DO surface should be used. For a smoother surface use a stainless steel trowel to finish.

3) POOLCOTE RE-DO is designed to be a monolithic coating. Sufficient personnel should be employed to eliminate cold joints. If the pool must be completed in phases, predetermined stopping points must be used, such as tile lane markers, etc.

4) If the entire finishing process is completed in one day, fill the pool immediately and adjust the chemicals as recommended by Premix-Marbletite and NSPI.

CLEAN UP

Clean all tools and equipment with
water while still wet. Cured material
can be removed mechanically or
chemically.

STORAGE

Turn inventory regularly and keep
bagged product protected from all forms of moisture, both direct and indirect, to assure maximum product usage, uniformity and productivity.

MAINTENANCE

The long-term performance of POOLCOTE RE-DO will be directly proportional to the care taken during
the filling process, the first ninety days of pool maintenance and consistent routine maintenance thereafter. Adjust the chemicals to the following levels in the order as recommended by Premix and NSPI:

a) pH 7.4 - 7.6

b) Alkalinity 100 - 125 ppm

c) Calcium 250 - 400 ppm

d) Chlorine gradually to 2 ppm

e) Total dissolved solids <1000 ppm

f) Cyanuric acid <50

NOTE: During the start-up phase keep the pool pump running 24 hours a day until the water clears. The pool should be brushed twice a day for the first week.
