Instructions for
Gold Label Aqua Pond Paint
Before
painting check your surfaces for imperfections, cracks etc
and fill where appropriate.
For large
cracks in the concrete, vee out the cracks to approx 10mm -
make sure the surface to
be bonded
is solid and dust free. Fill with Gold Label Pond & Aquarium
Sealer. Painting can then
commence
immediately. Although Aqua Pond Paint is much safer than
normal resin systems, it is
recommended you should avoid contact by using barrier cream
or gloves. Any splashes should
be washed
off with soap and water.
Method of use
DO NOT
apply in temperatures below 10°C
Add the
hardener in the top unit to the paint in the bottom unit and
stir throughly, making sure it is completely mixed - VERY
IMPORTANT - stir for a minimum of 2 minutes.
PLEASE
NOTE - Once mixed, the paint is usable for 1.5 hours in
ambient temperatures. Over 20°c the working time will be
reduced.
After
mixing, apply immediately by brush, roller or spray. Ensure
the coating is worked into the corners etc. Apply minimum of
2 coats. The second coat can be applied when the first is
touch dry after approx 6-8 hours at 20°c. The same for any
subsequent coats.
The paint
will cure hard in 12 hours and full cure in 3-7 days,
depending on atmospheric conditions. When fully cured,
wash the painted surface and drain before final fill.
