Prepare Your Space and Gather Your Materials
Make sure your surface is clean, dry and sound and gather all materials needed. Concrete should be at least 28 days old and should be etched with Liquid Rubber Concrete Etch prior to application. Fiberglass should be sanded well with 120 grit sandpaper to remove all gloss and roughen the surface. Wood surfaces should have imperfections such as screw holes, knots and splits prefilled with a water-based wood filler or our caulking.
Masking
Tape-off, block off or otherwise mask areas that are not to receive coating.
Detail Work
Bridge cracks, cold joints and transitions (floor to wall) using the 3-course method of Multi-Purpose Primer - 4” Geo-Textile - Multi-Purpose Primer. Apply a 6” wide coat of Multi-Purpose Primer along the areas and while still wet, embed the Geo-Textile fabric, fuzzy side down. Smooth out wrinkles and apply a second coat on top, taking care to fully saturate the Geo-textile. Allow to dry before application. For EPDM liners: Apply Seam Tape to any seams, tears or holes in the liner by peeling the backing film and pressing firmly to the repair area. Care should be taken to not allow wrinkles or bubbles in the Seam Tape. Once placed, press in the Seam Tape firmly with a laminate roller to ensure proper adhesion. Then apply EPDM Primer over the EPDM Liner (not the Seam Tape).
Prime
Using a 3/8’’ (10mm) roller, apply Multi-Purpose Primer to the entire surface using a brush and roller at a coverage rate of approximately 175 to 200 ft²/gal. For EPDM liners: Use EPDM Primer. Allow the Primer to dry until it is tacky or dry to the touch, but do not leave it exposed for more than 6 hours before coating. Warning. EPDM Primer is extremely sticky. Be sure to work in manageable sections!
Apply Coating
Using a 3/8’’ (10mm) roller, apply approximately 3-4 heavy coats NeoPond Sealant. Allow at least 4-6 hours drying time between coats. You can re-coat after the material is dry to the touch with nothing wet underneath and it is uniform in color. Apply each new coat at a different angle to the previous coat to ensure even coverage. For edges and corners apply using a nylon/polyester brush.
Inspect and Protect
Inspect for pinholes, blisters, thin spots or other defects. Recoat as necessary. Allow 3-5 days before filling your pond or using your fountain/water feature. When first filled wait 24 hours, wipe the sides, drain and re-fill to remove surfactants. Repeat if necessary. Do not add fish or plants until the coating is uniform in color and the water is clean. Be sure to test the water for proper PH levels acceptable for your type of fish and adjust as necessary.
Tip From the Pros:
BE SURE TO CYCLE THE WATER TO REMOVE SURFACTANTS AND TEST FOR PROPER PH LEVELS ACCEPTABLE FOR YOUR TYPE OF FISH AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY.
Clean Up
Remove tape while coating is still wet and close container to secure leftover product. If spillage occurs, soak up as much material as possible with rags. Clean immediately with soap and water. If spill is dried, scrape off as much as possible with a razor or scraper. Use mineral spirits to weaken product and an appropriate tool such as a wire brush or grinder to mechanically remove. If splashed on the skin immediately wash thoroughly with fresh water. If the product has dried on the skin massage the area with medical grade mineral oil, baby oil or edible oil, then wash with soap and water. If irritation persists seek medical attention.
