Blagdon Pond Paint is formulated for new concrete in and around the pond. If you have and existing pond that needs resealing or repainting Blagdon recommend Blagdon V8 Pondseal. (Pond paint will not adhere properly to damp, or unclean concrete)
Preparation-
Concrete must be fully cured and dried. This normally takes at least two weeks but may take longer depending on climate and render mix.
Any loose concrete should be removed and the surface should be brushed clean before applying the paint.
Application.
Stir thoroughly before use. Thin the first coat of paint with 10% water. This should be allowed to dry for 2-3 hours. 2 further coats at full strength can then be applied at 2-3 hour intervals. Pond Paint will not dry properly in humid environments extra drying time may be needed. If applying the paint to concrete that contains, or has been sealed with a waterproofer or hardener, it is advisable to test a small area first with the paint to ensure that adhesion is not adversely affected.
