Gold Label Aqua Pond Paint
Gold Label Aqua Pond Paint is a recent addition to the pond paint market. It has been manufactured to simplify pond sealing.
Gold Label pond paint is water based paint with an activator, this makes rollering or brushing simple with no drag.
Gold label Aqua pond paint will cover approx 6-8 meters per litre better than most pond paints on the market today. Two coats will suffice on most ponds. Very quick curing times allow quick refills. (Please read instructions before commencing.)
Gold Label Pond Paint Instructions:
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
