Before applying it, you must mix the resin (component A) with the hardener (component B). This step <strong>requires a bit more preparation<\/strong> than traditional paint, <strong>but it delivers a much higher-performance coating<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>It has exceptional durability<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the two components are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs and creates an extremely durable coating.

It also resists water-treatment products very well, such as chlorine, as well as saltwater pools.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>A highly watertight protection<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Epoxy forms a <strong>membrane that is much thicker than conventional pool paint<\/strong>. By applying the two recommended coats, you get a waterproof finish that effectively seals the surface and limits water penetration into the concrete. It is also one of the most watertight systems you can use for a concrete pool.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>&#8230;and how does it react to the sun?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like all epoxy coatings, prolonged exposure to <strong>UV rays can cause slight chalking<\/strong> or a <strong>loss of gloss<\/strong> over time. The good news is that <strong>this is purely cosmetic<\/strong>. It does not affect adhesion, watertightness, or the durability of the coating.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;

This is also why it is often preferred to protect new concrete pools. <\/p>\n<p>For several decades, well-known concrete pool manufacturers, such as Val-Mar in Quebec (founded in 1958 and now part of Piscines Tr\u00e9vi), have used epoxy as a protective coat for their projects.<\/p>\n<p>Epoxy is also used in the maintenance of many large outdoor municipal concrete pools.

Because epoxy has a <strong>much stronger adhesion capability<\/strong> on this type of surface than one-component paints. <\/p>\n<p>Most paints need a certain porosity or an anchor profile to adhere well and remain durable over time. However, <strong>fiberglass is a very smooth, low-porosity surface<\/strong>. This characteristic <strong>can limit the adhesion of conventional paints<\/strong> and eventually lead to peeling.  <\/p>\n<p>Two-component epoxy works differently. Once the two products are mixed, a chemical reaction called catalysis occurs, which <strong>allows the coating to cure and form a durable protective layer<\/strong> on the fiberglass surface. <\/p>\n<p>You can compare epoxy to a <strong>protective shell that covers the surface rather than penetrating<\/strong> the material. This is what allows it to provide a durable finish, even on a substrate as smooth as fiberglass.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;

Once the pool is drained, it is important to <strong>allow enough time for the substrate to dry<\/strong> before applying the paint. <\/p>\n<p>In general, you should plan for a waiting period of <strong>7 to 10 days<\/strong> before applying the coating. This is particularly <strong>important for concrete<\/strong>, <strong>gunite<\/strong> or <strong>plaster<\/strong> pools, since these materials can retain moisture. <\/p>\n<p>Not sure the surface is dry enough? There is a simple test to check. <\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>deepest part<\/strong> of the pool, <strong>tape down a plastic sheet of about 2 ft x 2 ft<\/strong> using adhesive tape. For a better assessment, it is recommended to <strong>do the test in two places<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>on a horizontal surface, such as the pool floor;<\/li>\n<li>on a vertical surface, such as a wall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Leave the plastic sheet<\/strong> in place for<strong> 24 hours<\/strong>. After that, <strong>check for water droplets<\/strong> or <strong>condensation<\/strong> under the plastic. <\/p>\n<p><strong>If moisture appears<\/strong>, it means <strong>the substrate is not yet dry enough<\/strong> to receive paint. You will simply need to <strong>wait a few more days<\/strong> and repeat the test before continuing the work. <\/p>\n<p>This small check may seem trivial, but it <strong>helps prevent many adhesion problems<\/strong> and ensures better coating durability.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">B) Remove the old finish (if needed)<\/h3>\n<p>Before applying a new coat of paint, you must first <strong>make sure the old coating is still firmly bonded<\/strong> to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>If <strong>the old paint<\/strong> starts to <strong>chalk<\/strong>, <strong>flake<\/strong> or <strong>come loose<\/strong>, it <strong>must be removed<\/strong> before proceeding. Why? Because a new coat of paint cannot fix an adhesion problem that already exists. If the base is not stable, <strong>the new coating may simply peel off<\/strong> along with the old paint.   <\/p>\n<p>The first step is therefore to <strong>remove paint in areas where it is crumbly or peeling<\/strong>. Depending on the condition of the surface, <strong>pressure washing may be sufficient<\/strong>. In more advanced cases, <strong>sanding with an orbital sander<\/strong> may be necessary to restore the surface.  <\/p>\n<p>This step requires a lot of work, but <strong>it makes all the difference<\/strong>. It is better to invest time in proper preparation than to have to redo the project a few years later. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">C) Repair the holes and cracks in your pool.<\/h3>\n<p>Does your pool have cracks or holes? They must be <strong>repaired before you start<\/strong> applying paint. <\/p>\n<p>After cleaning, first make sure the surface is completely dry before starting repairs. The product to use depends on your pool material. <\/p>\n<p>For example, for a <strong>fiberglass pool<\/strong>, repairs must be done with a <strong>product designed for this type of substrate<\/strong>. For a <strong>concrete pool, hydraulic cement is a good option<\/strong> for larger repairs, since it is designed to withstand prolonged immersion. <\/p>\n<p>Take the time to <strong>repair surface defects properly before moving on<\/strong>. Even a very high-performance paint cannot correct a poorly repaired crack or hole. <\/p>\n<h4>All-purpose solution for small holes and cracks: PC-Concrete cartridge epoxy<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;

Before starting the repair, dispense a small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/epoxy-coating\/epoxy-complements\/preparation-repair\/pc-concrete-epoxy-for-crack-sealing\/\">PC-Concrete<\/a> onto a disposable surface, such as a piece of cardboard or wood. <\/li>\n<li>This first step ensures that both components come out of the cartridge in equal amounts. Since they are different colors, you will easily see when the mix is correctly proportioned. <\/li>\n<li>Then install the nozzle on the end of the cartridge. The two components mix directly in the nozzle at the time of application. <\/li>\n<li>You can then inject <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/epoxy-coating\/epoxy-complements\/preparation-repair\/pc-concrete-epoxy-for-crack-sealing\/\">PC-Concrete<\/a> directly into the cracks to be repaired.<\/li>\n<li>If necessary, smooth any excess epoxy with a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/outils-de-pose\/truelles-et-grattoirs\/couteau-a-mastic-ou-grattoir-rigide\/\">small putty knife<\/a>.

It is therefore important to take the necessary precautions when applying it. <\/p>\n<p>To avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear long clothing, <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/accessories\/epoxy-accessories\/box-of-100-heavy-duty-black-nitrile-gloves\/\">chemical-resistant nitrile gloves<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/lunettes-de-protection-oculaire-lentilles-claires\/\">safety glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Application also releases solvent vapors. Good ventilation is therefore essential. To work more comfortably and limit exposure to vapors, wearing a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/demi-masque-respiratoire-3m-large\/\">3M half-mask respirator<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/cartouche-pour-masque-respiratoire-3m\/\">OVN95 charcoal cartridges<\/a> is strongly recommended.  <\/p>\n<p>Before you begin, take the time to consult the product technical data sheet and safety data sheet to learn the specific protective measures recommended by the manufacturer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A) Mix the epoxy for pools<\/h3>\n<p>Mixing epoxy for pools is a crucial step for the success of your project. Poor mixing can compromise the performance and durability of the coating. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start by following the ratio indicated by the manufacturer precisely. For <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/paint-2\/specialty-paint\/pool-paint\/9100-immersion-pool-epoxy-rust-oleum-industrial\/\">Rust-Oleum 9100<\/a> epoxy, the ratio is 1:1, meaning one part resin A to one part activator B. For example, to mix one gallon of product, you must combine 1 gallon of colored resin with 1 gallon of immersion activator (9102402). <\/li>\n<li>Start by stirring each component separately, using a different stick for each container. Make sure to scrape the bottom well and bring the product up to obtain a uniform mix. <\/li>\n<li>Then pour both components into a sufficiently large <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/autres-accessoires\/contenant-de-18-9l-vide-en-plastique\/\">pail<\/a>, respecting the 1:1 ratio. Mix everything for about 3 minutes using a drill fitted with a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/accessories\/accessory-brushes\/2-25-paint-mixer\/\">paint mixer<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>During mixing, regularly scrape the sides and bottom of the pail with a stick to incorporate any resin that may accumulate there. The goal is simple: every portion of resin must be perfectly mixed with its activator to ensure proper epoxy catalyzation. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784647710794{margin-top: 2% !important;margin-bottom: 2% !important;padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #f8f4eb !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<strong>IMPORTANT:<\/strong> Mix only the amount of epoxy needed for the 1st coat.

It is therefore important to take the necessary precautions when applying it. <\/p>\n<p>To avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear long clothing, <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/accessories\/epoxy-accessories\/box-of-100-heavy-duty-black-nitrile-gloves\/\">chemical-resistant nitrile gloves<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/lunettes-de-protection-oculaire-lentilles-claires\/\">safety glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Application also releases solvent vapors. Good ventilation is therefore essential. To work more comfortably and limit exposure to vapors, wearing a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/demi-masque-respiratoire-3m-large\/\">3M half-mask respirator<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/securite-protection\/cartouche-pour-masque-respiratoire-3m\/\">OVN95 charcoal cartridges<\/a> is strongly recommended.  <\/p>\n<p>Before you begin, take the time to consult the product technical data sheet and safety data sheet to learn the specific protective measures recommended by the manufacturer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A) Mix the epoxy for pools<\/h3>\n<p>Mixing epoxy for pools is a crucial step for the success of your project. Poor mixing can compromise the performance and durability of the coating. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start by following the ratio indicated by the manufacturer precisely. For <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/paint-2\/specialty-paint\/pool-paint\/9100-immersion-pool-epoxy-rust-oleum-industrial\/\">Rust-Oleum 9100<\/a> epoxy, the ratio is 1:1, meaning one part resin A to one part activator B. For example, to mix one gallon of product, you must combine 1 gallon of colored resin with 1 gallon of immersion activator (9102402). <\/li>\n<li>Start by stirring each component separately, using a different stick for each container. Make sure to scrape the bottom well and bring the product up to obtain a uniform mix. <\/li>\n<li>Then pour both components into a sufficiently large <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/autres-accessoires\/contenant-de-18-9l-vide-en-plastique\/\">pail<\/a>, respecting the 1:1 ratio. Mix everything for about 3 minutes using a drill fitted with a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/accessories\/accessory-brushes\/2-25-paint-mixer\/\">paint mixer<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>During mixing, regularly scrape the sides and bottom of the pail with a stick to incorporate any resin that may accumulate there. The goal is simple: every portion of resin must be perfectly mixed with its activator to ensure proper epoxy catalyzation. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784647710794{margin-top: 2% !important;margin-bottom: 2% !important;padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #f8f4eb !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<strong>IMPORTANT:<\/strong> Mix only the amount of epoxy needed for the 1st coat. Otherwise, the epoxy will harden in 6 to 12 hours and you will lose all the excess product.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Once the induction time is over, you must move directly to applying the epoxy. The clock is now ticking! <\/p>\n<p>You generally have<strong> 2 to 4 hours to apply your epoxy coat<\/strong>. This time can vary depending on temperature: <strong>the hotter it is, the faster the product hardens<\/strong> and the less time you have to work. Conversely, a <strong>cooler temperature gives you more application time<\/strong>, but the coating will take longer to cure.  <\/p>\n<p>For the best working conditions, <strong>aim for a temperature between 18 and 25 \u00b0C<\/strong>, in dry weather.<\/p>\n<p>Application is generally done with a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/application-tools\/brushes\/nour-banff-bristle-brushes\/\">good-quality natural bristle brush<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/application-tools\/rollers-and-cages\/lint-free-roller-cover-15-mm-x-240-mm\/\">15 mm lint-free roller<\/a>. Some professionals use a sprayer, but this method requires very thorough equipment cleaning with xylene epoxy thinner. <\/p>\n<h3>Application with brush and roller<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Start by equipping yourself with a telescopic pole. This will allow you to work more easily and cover the entire pool without constantly moving around. <\/li>\n<li>First, cut in the corners and angles of the pool with your <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/application-tools\/brushes\/nour-banff-bristle-brushes\/\">brush<\/a>. Then continue application with the <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/application-tools\/rollers-and-cages\/lint-free-roller-cover-15-mm-x-240-mm\/\">roller<\/a>, starting from the deepest part of the pool and gradually working your way up to the shallower areas. <\/li>\n<li>If you want to add a non-slip texture to the bottom or steps, you can incorporate a <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/paint-2\/specialty-paint\/floor-non-slip-paint\/rust-oleum-anti-skid-additive-for-epoxy\/\">non-slip additive<\/a> into a portion of your mix. However, we do not recommend this option on the walls, since the textured surface will be harder to clean. <\/li>\n<li>To achieve the expected product performance, aim for a dry film thickness of 5 to 8 mils per coat. This corresponds to a coverage of about 400 sq ft per 2-gallon epoxy kit, per coat. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the first coat is applied, <strong>wait at least 16 hours before applying the second<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784651621595{margin-top: 2% !important;margin-bottom: 2% !important;padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #f8f4eb !important;}&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<strong>Warning:<\/strong> If you wait more than 72 hours between coats, you must sand the surface so the 2nd coat will adhere properly.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For spray application<\/h4>\n<p>If you apply with a spray gun, take the time to<strong> protect the surrounding surfaces properly<\/strong> with cardboard, <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/pour-peinture\/bache-de-protection-de-plastique-en-rouleau-9-x-150\/\">polyethylene<\/a> and\/or good <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/produits\/accessoires\/rubans\/ruban-a-masquer-bleu-3m\/\">masking tape<\/a>.

Can I apply epoxy paint if I do not know what coating currently covers my pool?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]This is a very common situation when renovating an old pool. If you do not know the nature of the old paint, applying epoxy over it can be risky. In that case, it is best to identify the existing coating, remove it completely, or choose a paint that is compatible with old finishes.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. My pool is new: can I paint it as soon as the concrete is finished?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A new concrete or masonry pool must have cured sufficiently before receiving epoxy. The substrate must also be dry enough. Starting too soon could compromise adhesion and coating durability. Normally, you must wait at least 30 days before coating the concrete.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Is epoxy a good choice for a pool that already has cracks?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Epoxy does not replace a structural repair. If your pool has cracks or holes, they must be repaired with a product suited to the substrate before painting. Otherwise, the defects could reappear and compromise your new coating.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. What happens if my pool stays damp after being drained?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]This is a sign you should not ignore. Moisture trapped under an epoxy coating can affect adhesion and significantly reduce its service life. If you are unsure, it is better to perform a moisture test before you start rather than risk losing all your work.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Can I mix all the epoxy at once and keep the extra for later?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]That is a bad idea. Once the two components are mixed, the product begins to react chemically and its pot life is limited. It is therefore best to prepare only the amount needed for the coat you are applying.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Does an epoxy pool require less maintenance than a pool painted with another coating?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Not necessarily. Even though epoxy is particularly durable and resistant to chemicals, its service life also depends on the quality of preparation, application, and pool maintenance. You should also keep in mind that prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause chalking and color loss, without compromising the coating\u2019s strength.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221;
