Preparation

  • Degrease the entire pool with EcoSafe Degreaser
  • Pressure clean the entire pool with a >2000psi pressure washer
  • Ensure all stains, oil and chemical residue are removed. Repeat the cleaning process if needed
  • For bare concrete, etch the surface using EcoSafe Etch and rinse well
  • For old or existing 2-pack epoxy surfaces, sand or abrade the entire surface
  • Make any spot repairs to cracks or chips
  • Vacuum the entire pool with a soft bristle head. Ensure that all debris has been removed.
  • Create a safe mixing area near the pool with drop sheets, tarps or cardboard.

Coat One

  • Mix the first coat of NuPool Epoxy using the 3:1 ratio (2-part kit) by adding NuPool Epoxy Part B into NuPool Epoxy Part A
  • Mix the two parts thoroughly using a drill mixer
  • Add EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner (approx 20%) and mix again
  • Allow the paint to stand for 10 minutes before application
  • Use a brush to cut in all edges and corners with NuPool, then roll to cover the surface
  • Allow drying for 5 hours (temperature dependant) before applying the second coat
  • DO NOT wait more than 72 hours before applying a second coat

Coat Two

  • Mix the second coat of NuPool Epoxy using the 3:1 ratio (2-part kit) by adding NuPool Part B into NuPool Part A

  • Allow the paint to stand for 10 minutes before application
  • Use a brush to cut in all edges and corners with NuPool Epoxy, then roll to cover the surface
  • Allow drying for 5 hours (temperature dependent)

Non-Slip

  • To create a non-slip surface, apply Nutech Coarse Anti-Slip to the second coat while still wet.
  • If anti-slip has been applied, use a third coat of NuPool Epoxy over the areas.

Curing

NuPool Epoxy takes seven days to cure into a hard and durable surface completely. During this time, the pool must be kept dry. If the surface becomes wet, remove all water and allow it to continue curing.
