Blagdon Pondseal V8 is a clear polyurethene sealer which when applied to concrete will both waterproof it, and prevent toxic substances leaching into the pond or water feature.V8 Pondseal does not require any primer and is ideal for new concrete ponds and water features, as well as re-sealing old concrete. The benefits of this product over other similar products includes quicker drying times, greater ease of use, increased coverage per litre, and a reduced applying time due to less coats being required.
Application
Ensure the concrete or stone surface is both clean and dry. Render must be porous to allow the sealer to penetrate. Use on highly trowelled surface or render treated with waterproofing agents is therefore not advised.
New render must be allowed to cure completely before V8 Pondseal is applied. This may take some weeks depending on weather conditions and render mix. Any cracks should be repaired (See Blagdon Pool Mender) and allowed to dry. Any fibres used in construction of the ponds which are proud of the surface, must be sanded flush.
Three coats of V8 will usually surface, but on very porous render it may be necessary to apply an additional coat. Avoid applying too thickly and ensure V8 is applied evenly.
V8 can be reapplied as soon as the previous coat is dry, normally within 1-3 hours dependant on temperature and weather conditions. Re-coating must take place within three days. If left longer the previous coat must be abraded well, before applying further coats.
Allow three days for the final coat to cure. V8 should be applied by brush only. The brush may be cleaned using cellulose thinners immediately after use. The V8 container should be kept tightly sealed whilst in storage and, once opened should be used as soon as possible.
Coverage
Coverage will vary according to the porosity of the render. Typical coverage is between 3-5 m2 per litre per coat for a three-coat application 1 litre will therefore cover up to 1.3m2.
Coloured V8.
If a coloured finish is desired v8 Pondseal can be mixed with V8 Colourplus tinters to give either green or black finishes 1 litre V8 Pondseal requires 200ml of Colourplus tinter, and will cover 3-5m2 per litre per coat.
