SURFACE PREPARATION

POOLS

• Check and completely remove all hollows and loose areas with picks and hammers. Chip out minimum 2 inches below tile line and around all water inlets, return lines and light fixtures. Sandblast, acid etch or water blast with a turbo nozzle or sand injection attachment (3,500 psi minimum). If acid etching, must neutralized and powerwash with spinner tip. Make sure to remove all rust, algae, copper sulfate, soft flaky plaster, paint and other foreign matter. Recheck for hollows, loose and flaky areas. Soft flaky areas must be removed before SCRATCH KOTE 2000 is applied. Wash thoroughly with waterblaster and dry all areas to touch before proceeding.

WALLS & FLOORS

• Substrate must be structurally sound, free from grease, oil, paint, dirt, dust, sealers, laitence, curing compounds and other foreign materials which may prevent proper bonding. Cracks and imperfections must be repaired. Properly installed expansion joints should be cleaned.

MIXING

• Using a mixing paddle, mix with 1.75-2 gallons of clean water* per bag for 1.5 minutes.  Mix vigorously to disperse all lumps and to thoroughly wet all particles. Use margin trowel to clear vessel walls. For best results, let the Scratch Kote sit in the mixing bucket for 3-5 minutes, then add a small amount of water to rebreak the material. This will give the material additional pot life.

*More water may be needed depending upon ambient temperature. 

APPLICATION

• Dampen the substrate prior to application
• Apply material with a hopper gun, pressure sprayer or a ¾”-1¼” nap roller. Applied material should peak, not slump.
  • If too thick –  small clumps will come away with roller.
    • Add small amount of water, remix and retest.
  • If too thin – material will slump.
    • add small amounts of Scratch Kote 2000 Mix, remix and retest.

ALLOW TO CURE FOR A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS BEFORE APPLYING POOL PLASTER

*LONGER IN COOL WEATHER OR INDOOR APPLICATIONS – 48 to 72 HOURS IS IDEAL.

SAFETY DATA SHEET

Multicoat Corporation offers a special 5-year Limited Materials Warranty to Trained and Certified Applicators. This Limited Warranty (effective upon date of purchase) protects the Applicator against delamination problems with all Multicoat systems, as well as water intrusion of Multicoat’s Waterproofing System, provided:

• 1. Multicoat system has been properly applied by a certified applicator.
• 2. Problem is determined to be due to defect of Multicoat Corporation’s products.
• 3. Applicator has prepared and filed the required Warranty Information Form(s) with Multicoat Products, Inc. covering the specific customer job(s).

NOTE:

Warranty is not applicable if there is movement or cracking of the underlying base and/or the weight bearing cement covering of the waterproofing membrane. Failure to adhere to good construction and workmanship practices based on industry standard construction, means, methods, sequences and techniques could result in delamination, debonding and water instrusion for which Multicoat will not be responsible.

The end user must look to the Certified Applicator for satisfaction if any problem develops with the Multicoat system covered by the warranty. Multicoat suggests that the customer:

• 1. Use only a licensed contractor in good standing (fully bonded).
• 2. Make certain that the applicator has been certified by Multicoat, prior to work commencing or certification while on the job. A simple phone call to Multicoat is sufficient to determine if an applicator is certified and if such certification is in good standing.

In the event that it is determined that the Applicator failed to install the system(s) in accordance with Multicoat’s “instructions for use” or “specifications”, the warranty is void. See specific warranty information below.
