Pool Openings

4/11/2019

​When we opened this pool we found that the severe winter and ice had broken the steps in two places. 
​
​
Two cracks about 12 inches long on both sides.

​After lots of research, we settled on a new product. This product is a two part epoxy that can be reinforced with fiberglass cloth.

The epoxy is applied with a caulking gun that mixes the two parts,  and is applied directly to the area to be repaired. ​

​We applied a skim coat, then mixed the epoxy into the fiberglass cloth on a mixing board, and applied it to the wall. After smoothing it out, we applied another skim coat.

Went back the next day and sanded it with 80 grit sander. 
We were very happy with the results.







​Slightly different color, but the customer was very happy, and thought that once the water level was back to normal operating level, no one would see it. This turned out to be a great product, that even works underwater! 
​
It can be used on steps, and skimmers.
