Review of "Ultraguard"

[Tredge]

I posted a couple of months back about my pool resurfacing project.

I learned a lot from these forums.

I decided to go with an epoxy solution after I chipped all the old failing plaster and patched the potholes with mortar mix.

The product I used was Ultraguard 4500, their mid-grade Epoxy.

The key was surface prep....and had I to do it over again I might have smoothed out the plaster a little better. As it is the pool is textured and not smooth....but thats not all bad.

As for Ultraguard it looks to be a nice surface!
There is a bond coat and a finish coat.

The Bond coat is thin but created a really nice hard shell over the plaster and fiberglass walls. The stuff looks indistructable.

The Finish Coat is a lot thicker and I had to race to get it on the pool before it hardened. The End result is a squeeky smooth clean finish. Hardened out of the bucket it feels like a plastic, on the pool it feels almost like glass.

I cant see it ever popping off by itself...it will certainly never come off of the paint equipment I used Time will tell if it stands up over the years and I'll be sure to report with pictures.
