Base coat preparation:

• Base to be coated must be clean, dry and dust-free, grease, loose particles, efflorescence, etc…
• Prior base cleansing to ensure a good adherence.
• Base must be leveled or smoothed.
• Any irregularities such as holes, cracks or fissures, must first be corrected with repair mortar and glass fiber mats in some cases.
• Wet the base until saturation, avoiding flooding.

Product preparation guide:

• Performing a mixture of Micro Powder component pool in proportion from 3.3 to 3.5 parts with water to 1 part, adding to the container first water and then slowly go pouring the powder, while mixing with the propeller until a smooth paste that is manageable with plain or roller is made. .

Enforcement:

• When the product is ready, apply a layer with a roller, immediately after touch dry, apply a second layer crosswise.
• Within 24 hours, it must be completed treatment and applying a flat spatula to coat and then a second layer before the first dry completely.
• After the last layer applied MicroPiscina should allow between 12 and 16 hours to proceed to the final sanding, then fine should aim reviewing the entire surface with sandpaper previously unseen defects.
• To proceed with the sealing is essential to respect the drying times are MicroPiscina 24 hours.
• Apply the first coat of water-repellent sealer spray after one hour and apply a second coat. This information is provided by the specialized technician or by the technical instructions.
• For pools, protect the surface from the rain for 2 days, immediately after this time should be filled with water. For other non-decorative coatings, you need not fill with water two days.
