Liquid Rubber NeoPond Sealant
- Apply using a 3/8 (10mm) roller, brush or paint sprayer.
- Apply to dry surface that is free of dirt, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, coal tar, silicone, or other contaminants.
- Apply above 10C/50F and rising.
- For extra adhesion, performance and longevity and to create a moisture vapor barrier, use 1 heavy coat of Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer or Liquid Rubber EPDM Primer.
- Apply each coat in an alternate direction to the last coat to ensure even coverage.
- Apply next coat when dry to the touch with nothing wet underneath and is uniform in color (typically 4-8 hours).
- Typically cures in 7 days after last coat before filling/use.
- Avoid applying in direct, intense sunlight.
- Do not allow product to freeze.
- Do not apply in wet conditions (including fog and dew) or if rain is forecast within 24 hours.
- Avoid contact with solvents and solvent based cleaners, adhesives and paints.
- Do not combine black products with colored products.
- Make sure that what you are coating is at least 5 degrees above the dew point of the environment that you are coating in (see technical specs for more details).
- For best results remove existing paints/coatings and apply directly to the substrate. (some paints and coatings will not be compatible. Loose/flaky paint may be an indication that the existing paint/coating is not well bonded and therefore your Liquid Rubber solution may fail if applied over it instead of directly to the substrate. Oil based paints, enamels, epoxies, powder coats can be difficult to bond to.
- It is always a good idea to apply a small test patch in an inconspicuous area to ensure adequate adhesion prior to full application.
- Apply all material until you use up the required amount.
- Do not combine other products or top coat.
- Etch concrete prior to application.
- Curing time depends on temperature, humidity and airflow.
- Reinforce seams, joints, cracks... with Geo-Textile or Seam Tape.
- Be sure to test the water for proper PH levels acceptable for your type of fish and adjust as necessary.
- Be sure to cycle the water to remove surfactants before adding fish.
Apply minimum final thickness of 1 gallon per 40 sq ft (3.7 sq/m). It should require around 3-4 heavy coats to achieve a 30 mil. (0.75 mm) (DFT) membrane. 200 sq ft final thickness per 5G pail.
