Our epoxy pond liner systems offer both strength and flexibility in a coating. Flexibility and strength that is tested down to -78° F, all the way up to 140° F, our epoxy liner systems have a proven record that speaks for itself. These are epoxy pond liner systems that have been specifically designed to bond to porous or abraded materials. With a tensile bond strength that was found to be stronger than the internal strength of the concrete it was applied to, you can rest assured that your single coat of pond epoxy will stick to what you apply it to.
Over time, hairline cracks can form in mortar or grout joints as well as concrete. The last thing you need is for this to happen and then be transferred to your epoxy pond liner, causing a leak. Being flexible, our epoxy pond liner systems resists mimic cracking like this and provide you with the best protection possible in your coating. It's also possible to enhance the performance of your epoxy pond liner (in crack susceptible areas) by using it along with fiberglass mat or tape and as a filler when mixed with colloidal silica of micro fibers.
There are other coatings on the market, but what you get with our epoxy pond liner system is peace of mind. This peace of mind comes from knowing you didn't pay outrageous prices for installation of your pond coating, or from knowing you didn't have to purchase anything extra like primers or thinners for your coating. Your peace of mind will also come from knowing that once our epoxy pond liner system is applied, you only spent about $1.24 per square foot and that your new epoxy pond liner will be easy to maintain and provide you with the aesthetics you always wanted from your pond. That means, no more unsightly folds or creases. You'll have a surface that algae just wipes right off!
POND SHIELD EPOXY APPLICATION
Applying Pond Shield couldn't be easier! If you've ever painted with a roller or a brush, then you know there's not much effort involved. Our epoxy pond sealer has some major advantages over other sealers. For instance, Pond Shield has been designed thicker, meaning it will hang better on your pond walls. This means that your epoxy pond sealer will not sag or run, causing inconsistencies in the over-all thickness of your sealer. Once applied at 10 mils, the sealer will cure in that state. Our epoxy sealer also comes in six standard colors and can even be ordered in custom colors!
Pond Armor's exhaustive research has also revealed that not all ponds are created equal. Construction methods, pond age, and materials of different varieties all play a part in how each pond should be sealed. Not only was our epoxy pond sealer created to be flexible in nature, but also flexible in regards to it's application. Our epoxy pond sealer can be combined with other materials such as fiberglass mat or tape for added strength in cold joints or seams; or combined with colloidal silica filler as a thickening agent for larger than hairline cracks.
Start by mixing and pouring your epoxy pond sealer right into your pond. Use a rubber squeegee to spread the epoxy from one point to another and then a roller (on a extension handle if needed) to apply a smooth surface. Use the gauge sent with your order to check from time to time to make sure you are applying the sealer evenly at 10 mils throughout the process. Uneven or rough surfaces may use more material.
Be sure not to mix too much sealer at any given time to avoid waste in the event the material begins to harden before you finish. It's safe to say, you should mix what you know you can coat in under an hour. The pigmented versions of our epoxy pond sealer can be applied in one coat. After the sealer cures, which only takes about an hour, you can check for spots that may need to be touched up and do so at that time. Touching up your epoxy pond sealer within this time frame does not require any extra preparation to complete. It should be noted here that the epoxy should be abraded with 60-grit sandpaper only if more sealer is applied after a 24-hour period.
You can use a paint brush to cut in the epoxy sealer where a paint roller is not practical. You can also use a plastic squeegee to move it as well. Just keep the required thickness in mind as you do. Our epoxy pond sealers can also be sprayed. You'd need a spray system equivalent to a either of the systems show on our Spray Specs page. Pond Shield epoxy sealers require specific settings in order to be used with air spray systems and airless spray systems. Contact Pond Armor for details regarding these settings should you decide to spray your epoxy pond sealer.
Note: you should always use proper protective clothing and take proper safety precautions for any installation.
