Pond construction kit and extensive step-by-step plan
Call to actionPolyester resin is a cold-curing synthetic material that is applied in combination with glass mat to a solid substrate such as concrete. Concrete is extremely suitable for the construction of a regular, mirror or swimming pond. For the construction of a regular, swimming or reflecting pond in glass fibre reinforced polyester we have a handy step-by-step plan that will guide you through the entire process.
STEP 1: Preparing the substrate
STEP 2: Applying primer and adhesive layer
STEP 3: Applying two layers of glass mats and liquid polyester resin
STEP 4: Finishing the polyester pond with uv-resistant topcoat
In our webshop we offer various pond kits that consist of all products and tools for the construction of a polyester pond. So you immediately have all products of V-Sure in the correct quantity for the construction of your pond. You can choose from packages for ponds of 10 m², 20 m², 40 m² and 80 m².
Call to actionWe recommend the 2-component polyurethane resin type K6S for the electrical insulation of components making them waterproof.
Call to actionHere we recommend the fast-curing epoxy paste Solomet. This is a 2-component epoxy paste for sealing leaking water pipes, even on a wet substrate.
Call to actionWe recommend the special PVC primer, to obtain a better adhesion of the liquid polyester and fibreglass to existing PVC pipes and connections.
Call to actionHere we advise to fill the hollow space between the two parts of PVC with Flexovoss K6S, an odourless and shrink-resistant casting resin based on 2-component polyurethane. This resin has perfect adhesion to various substrates and will harden in a tough elastic way.
Call to actionRepairing a crack in polyester under water
Call to actionIn this case we recommend using Solomet, an epoxy kneading paste that also cures under water. This is, however, a temporary solution. As soon as possible the water should be removed and a definitive repair carried out using the liquid polyester resin H30-Azur and 450 g/m2 glass mat. Then finish the whole with a Topcoat T35-1.
