Use whole packs of Part A base and Part B hardener.
TIP: Stir 300 times around by hand.
Step 4: Paint the pool.
TIP: Mark out 20 m2 and use up one 3.5 L kit. This will give you an optimum film thickness.

Step 6: Apply a second coat. Do NOT thin the epoxy paint mix with LUXAPOOL Solvent A
Step 7: Allow the pool to dry thoroughly before filling with water.
Allow 7 days in summer and
14 days in winter
Do not add chemicals other than salt or chlorine for at least 3-5 days
