TECHNICAL DATA
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between
50-90°F (10-38°C) and the relative humidity is less than 85%.
Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool Paint can be applied by brush,
nap roller, or spray. Avoid painting in the midday sun.
Application is recommended early in the day or late in the
afternoon when at least 2 hours of sunlight remain after
completion of the job. Touch-up any bare spots with one coat
of Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool Paint. For new or bare concrete
and plaster surfaces, apply two coats of Rust-Oleum Acrylic
Pool Paint, and one or two coats of Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool
Paint to previously painted surfaces at the recommended
coverage rates. In areas of low humidity (less than 20% and
high temperatures over 90°F) dampen the surface to be
painted with a fine mist water spray prior to painting.
Coverage and number of coats will vary depending on
porosity and texture of the surface. The first coat on bare
surfaces can be thinned 10-15% with clean potable (fresh)
water. One gallon covers 175-200 square feet on bare
abrasive blast cleaned or rough surfaces and 350-400 square
feet on recoats. Allow 4 hours drying time to recoat and 3
days before filling outdoor pools, (6 days for indoor pools).
Add 1 extra day of drying for every day of rain prior to filling
the pool.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS .
SLIP RESISTANCE SURFACES
The Rust-Oleum Concrete Saver
®
200 Anti-Skid Additive can
be used on steps, wading and baby pools, and other areas to
improve the slip resistance. Immediately after applying
coating in the desired area, broadcast the 200 Anti-Skid
Additive by hand, to your desired amount, onto the wet film.
After the paint has dried, sweep off loose material and apply
another coat of Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool Paint to cover and
seal.
CLEAN-UP
When finished, wash tools and equipment with soap and
water. Clean up drips or spatters immediately as dried paint is
very difficult to remove. Properly dispose of all soiled rags.
MAINTENANCE
Recoating of small area touch-up can be made at any time by
following recommended application procedures.
