Application

Underwater Repairs:

  • Prepare the area by wire brushing to remove loose or flaking material.
  • Undercut the repair area for maximum bond strength.
  • Mix Pool Patch with clean water to achieve a putty-like consistency.
  • Apply with a gloved hand, pressing into cracks or holes until it sets.

Above-Water Repairs:

  • Undercut and clean the substrate, ensuring a depth and width of at least 1 inch.
  • Remove contaminants like oil, grease, and dirt using industrial detergents.
  • Mix the product and apply with a trowel. Shape and smooth to match the surrounding surface.
  • Allow repaired areas to cure for at least 1 hour before covering with a cementitious coating.

Important Notes:

  • Do not apply to frozen surfaces or in temperatures below 35°F.
  • Avoid mixing more material than can be placed within 10 minutes.

Mixing Instructions

  • Mix 3 parts powder to 1 part clean, potable water.
  • Ensure the substrate is saturated surface dry (SSD) before application.
  • Prepare only small batches to ensure usability within the rapid set time.
