Statement letter from customer or owner of pool:
In July 2004, Bill Edwards, John Banke and Lou Prevesek painted a pool at 4
Creekmere Drive, Trophy Club, Texas. This is a family diving pool, approx 124 Linear
feet surface area, with diving end. Pool was installed in 1997, it is a gunite pool with
Plaster coating. No previous paint had been used. Plaster was in poor condition. The
following process was done under the direction of Bill Edwards.
1. Pool drained 100%
2. All dried and exits plugged, no water allowed to enter pool.
3. Pool sprayed with high pressure hose, equipment approved by B. Edwards
4. All loose or bubbled plaster removed from pool, all water and waste removed from pool
5. Pool wiped down with muratic acid, entire surface, 2 x
6. Tile area was taped off
7. Suggested process - Enamo Grip - 4 coats, first coat 50% MEK mix, balance of coats 100% Enamo-Grip Weather 100 degree, 10-15 mph wind, bright sunny days
8. 8 AM - First coat 50% Enamo-Grip / MEK rolled on, using 1/2" nap rollers
9. 7 PM same day - 2nd coat applied with 1/4" nap roller, 100% Enamo-Grip
10. Next day - 6 PM - 3rd coat applied with 1/4" nap roller
11. Next day - 6 PM - 4th coat applied with 1/4" nap roller
NOTE : The coating being a urethane was applied late in the day when the temperature was declining so that it would be sucked into the concrete instead of being gassed off.
All processes approved, coating thicknesses approved by B. Edwards.
The results are that pool is being shown to clients. Turned out fantastic!

Application Instructions
-Pool must be cleaned with citrus or strong cleaners to remove oils and residue build up.
-All surfaces must be sanded to smooth out, all cracks repaired with cement and smoothed.
-Over the concrete surface, apply the first coat ofENAMOGRIP ®. Mix the first blended (Base and Curing Agent) 50/50 with MEK or solvent and roll over the surfaces. This 50/50 blend makes the coating very thin and able to penetrate deep into the concrete surface which is what we want it to do.
-Allow four hours to dry.
-Apply a standard coat of ENAMOGRIP ® (not diluted) at 200 sq.ft. per gallon.
-Allow one day dry time or until you can walk over the coating without harm.
-Apply a second standard coat of ENAMOGRIP ® at 200 sq.ft. per gallon.
-Allow 3-4 days in good sun to cure out before filling the pool
NOTE: If temperature is over 90°F (32°C), the ENAMOGRIP ® will only have a pot life of 1 to 1½ hours before it begins to set up in the pail. Because the ENAMOGRIP ® is heat sensitive and reactive, as the temperature increases, the faster it sets up.
