slide 2: Using Epoxy Filler
Holes in concrete smaller
ones generally and
fibreglass pools may be
filled with an epoxy filler
such as Megapoxy PM. It’s
important to follow the
mixing and application
instructions carefully.
Generally you mix equal
portions by knife on a
clean board until
homogenous. Then knife
into the holes slightly
over filling.
slide 3: It will be quite sticky
and difficult to get a
smooth finish. To
smooth out successfully
have a cup of
dishwashing detergent
and water about 10 -15
detergent is ample.
Simply dip in your
fingers and then run
gently over the Epoxy
surface to smooth.
Repeat as soon as you
feel Epoxy wanting to
stick to your fingers.
slide 4: Mixing Epotec
Epotec comes in a 2 can pack. 2.5
Kgs Resin in a 4 Litre can and 0.5
kg Hardener in a 500 ml can.
Open the large can and if there is
material on the inside of the lid
and upper internal surfaces
scrape it down into the rest of the
Resin. With both cans open then
add all the small can to the big
can. That is All Hardener is put
into the Resin. At this stage there
will be a little Hardener left
behind. Mix slowly together with a
plastic hand mixer using slow
deliberate moves down into and
around and then up and out of the
mix.
slide 5: This will blend the Hardener
into the Resin with out
putting air into the mix.
Make sure you mix the sides
and bottom as well. After 2
– 3 minutes you will nearly
be finished. Tip any
remaining Hardener there
will be several teaspoons
worth into the Resin and
continue mixing for another
minute or so till a
homogenous mix of uniform
colour is observed. Allow to
stand 10 minutes to pre
react.
slide 6: Pool Water Maintenance
For maximum life of the coating the pool
water quality should be maintained
continuously in accord with accepted pool
water management practices and the
following criteria
pH 7.4 -7.8 Water temperature
between 5 – 35 Deg C
Total Alkalinity 80-120 ppm mim to 160
-180 ppm maximum
Chlorine levels 2 – 3 ppm parts per
million
Calcium Hardness should be closely
monitored and kept within 270 – 330 ppm
