Steps of Surface Preparation Before Applying Epoxy Pool Paint

Regardless of what paint you use for swimming pool painting, surface preparation will always remain the most important. This means even if you have chosen epoxy pool paint in Perth, it will work only if surface preparation is done adequately and satisfactorily. This surface preparation involves some common steps, and an important point to understand is that these steps for surface preparation are different for different types of pools. Let us quickly understand some steps here in this post.

How To Prepare For Surface Preparation Before Pool Painting In Perth?

It is recommended to wear an eye-protection and vapour mask, rubber gloves, etc., before working with paints, thinners, muriatic or sulfamic acid.

Preparing Concrete Gunite, Marcite And Other Porous Pool Surfaces

The first step will include surface abrasion initially before all other steps. It is recommended to follow all the manufacturer's label instructions and recommendations related to surface preparation before applying epoxy pool paint in Perth. Again, it is recommended to wear all the safety equipment and gear before working with water, acid, etc., as the surface can become very slick and dangerous.

Step 1

This includes scrubbing the entire pool with TSP or TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE to remove issues like algae, oil, dirt, caulking, etc. This will also remove peeling and loose paint before starting pool painting in Perth. Power washing is also advocated, and you should not mind using a good-quality hard scrubbing brush to scrub the surface thoroughly. Once scrubbing is over, rinse the area thoroughly and remove water from the pool. Any repair work, like surface patching, etc., should be done only after the surface has dried completely.

Step 2

Before applying epoxy pool paint in Perth, you must acid etch the concrete and plaster surfaces with 15-20% muriatic or sulfamic acid. This means you will successfully achieve the results you get from medium-grade sandpaper. This will also remove all the mineral deposits of the previous epoxy pool paint in Perth. Using these acids is easy as you just have to pour them into water rather than adding water into the acid. Again, a hard scrub brush has to be used for acid and water application. Once scrubbing is over, don't forget to rinse the surface entirely and remove water from the pool. During this step, it is highly recommended to wear safety goggles, masks and gloves for personal safety.

Step 3

This involves neutralising and rinsing with TSP and water. Afterwards, you should allow the surface to dry completely before applying rubber or epoxy pool paint in Perth. This will take around five days, and after this, a quick test should be done to ensure that the surface is dry. This experiment involves attaching clear packing tape on the surface in different areas of the pool one day before the day decided for painting. If the tape has moisture on the sticky side, it means it is not completely dry and needs more drying time.

Why do we use epoxy pool paint?

Epoxy pool paint is used to coat and protect the surface of swimming pools. Epoxy is a durable and long-lasting material that can withstand the harsh chemical and environmental conditions of a swimming pool.

Epoxy pool paint offers several benefits:

Chemical resistance: Swimming pools are regularly treated with chemicals such as chlorine, which can cause damage to unprotected surfaces. Epoxy pool paint is resistant to such chemicals and prevents damage.

Waterproofing: Epoxy pool paint provides a waterproof barrier that prevents water from seeping into the porous surface of the pool, which can cause cracks and leaks.

Durability: Epoxy pool paint is a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and exposure to the elements.

Aesthetics: Epoxy pool paint is available in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing you to customize the appearance of your swimming pool.

Overall, epoxy pool paint is an excellent choice for protecting and enhancing the appearance of swimming pools, and it is widely used in the construction and renovation of pools.

Made a thing and decided maybe it's decent enough to post. Links to refs, the blank, and rambles under the cut.

Flora: Flos adonis. "Painful recollections" in flower language according to Catharine Harbeson Waterman's Flora's Lexicon (1840).

Fauna: Flying fish. I use these as symbols for Wotrens in general, but Tsuname in particular has a scene where he glides over the ocean and enjoys a moment of freedom, so I think he best exemplifies the whimsy that is the flying fish.

Object: Marble. In hindsight though I should have picked suncatcher, that would have been a lot more symbolic, especially considering I have an old picture of him trying to catch the last rays of the sun. Well, marble will do in a pinch I guess. My thinking was a silly pun involving losing his marbles, also it being a lone marble to imply "where did the others go?" Also chose a clear one as part of the symbolism too. I went through a number of objects for him before settling on marble. Originally I was going to do "window" but couldn't find a ref I liked for it. Then I thought of "tide pool" but that's more a place than an object. Then I thought maybe one of those epoxy resin arts, but there's something really artistic and delicate about those that felt a little bit off to represent Tsuname. But yeah. He's transparent but also shallow some ways. So that's why it has to be a marble or something not that deep. Shallow in the sense that you don't have to reach very far to see what's going on inside. That's why I was thinking glass at first. Window because you can easily peer inside and see what's going on. Tide pool for a similar reason. It's not that deep, you can scoop up some crustacean crawling around in there and look at it. Also sea-theming is very important for him.

You know what I just remembered... 'bracelet' is an object that has more significance in-story. I guess it less represents him though and more his devotion to Sh'zkai...

Song: The Name of Anger by Rurutia. I also could have picked Meltdown by Lollia, but decided they both exemplify Tsuname in different ways, so I didn't need to swap it out. For the one I chose though, it's chock full of symbolism that I think really fits Tsuname well. I think of it typically in the broader context of the invasion he experienced, so in some ways, Meltdown feels a bit more personal than The Name of Anger does for Tsuname. Meltdown I associate more with his ongoing mental battle, whereas The Name of Anger deals far more with the past and how it contextualizes the present. The opening line translates to something like "The ladder of light collapses." This 'ladder of light' I think of representative of hope, but also with like a tractor beam. The light is 'collapsing' which means the beam is disappearing, and with it, any hope of getting back those that were taken by it. "Innocent live sink to the mud." . . . "Overflowing from the ark are the tears of lost children." That last one I associate with the Gaediens who were taken. "My hands transform into swords; my ventless anger continues to spiral" Feels like a fast-forward to present day Tsuname, who has become a weapon against his will and his hands are now swords, and his pent up anger from the horrors he endured spills out everywhere. Lastly I love the picture painted by this line: "The jet-black sea winds whirlpools." There's not many good translations of the song online but you can find the original lyrics here: (x) I am for sure taking some creative liberties in my associations but XD that's the rub.

Feeling: Kuebiko. I abridged the definition quite a bit on the picture to get the text to play nice.

And yes, I did ref the Ocarina of Time scarecrow because it was simpler to draw than trying to figure out how to abstract a proper photo of a scarecrow. XD;

There's a lot of interesting gems in the etymology of kuebiko as well that fit Tsuname:

Kuebiko comes from kueru (崩える), an archaic verb meaning "to break down; to become shabby and disordered", plus hiko (彦), an old epithet for "boy, young man", in turn from hi ko (日子), literally "sun child".[1][2][3] The meaning could be translated as something like "shabby young man".

Yamada no sohodo is formed like an old-fashioned formal name, from surname or literal noun Yamada (山田, lit. 'mountain + paddy'), genitive or possessive particle no (の), and sohodo (案山子),[4] in turn from soho ("sopping wet") + -do, a contraction from -bito, the compounding form of hito (人).[5] The meaning of this name could be construed as "soaked person of the mountain paddies", a euphemism for "scarecrow".

As for the kami aspect of the etymology, at first I thought he had nothing to do with folk wisdom, knowledge and agriculture, but if you think on it, maybe a little. For one thing, when he returns to the island he has a lot of knowledge of how things work out in space that no one else has, so in one sense he is sort of this oddity. Folk wisdom could be turned on its head because his devotion to what he grew up believing is a big part of his character, but he lacked the proper nuance about the belief, so this "folk wisdom" doesn't exactly pan out when he doesn't understand how it applies to the real world (or doesn't). Agriculture was the one that I thought... no, not at all, but thinking on like... the connotations of agriculture, like "living on the land" -> "devotion to the land" -> "devotion to one's home and native land" could be something.

But anyways, the TDoOS definition definitely pulls more from the latter half of that opening sentence from the wiki:

"Kuebiko (久延毘古) is ... represented in Japanese mythology as a scarecrow who cannot walk but has comprehensive awareness."

Going back to the literal meaning, "shabby boy/sun child" really fits Tsuname well. Broken down, made shabby and disordered by his past. I often associate Tsuname with the sun in a lot of ways too. His original sunny disposition, overshadowed now by the horizon, making "sunset" another potent symbol for Tsuname's present psyche.

The second name for Kuebiko in Yamada no sohodo I also thought was kind of interesting, since being a fish boy he often does drag himself out of the ocean sopping wet, but also the connotation of sopping wet with "pathetic" feels of portent. XD

Hmm. Knowing what I know now it feels kinda weird to associate him with this word, but, I guess TDoOS is useful for describing feelings!

Anyways here's the link to the blank: (x)

Thank you if you've read this far. XD

A Guide To Choose The Right Concrete Sealers For Home

Maintaining the efficiency of the commercial property is extremely important especially the concrete that makes the floor pitch perfect. In fact, not just maintaining but preventing the damage to concrete is equally essential. Concrete is one of the crucial construction elements owing to its strength and longevity. However, because concrete is porous, it can absorb soluble salts and water, which can be harmful. Furthermore, the absorption of salts by the concrete, especially chlorides, can eventually lead to corrosion problems when steel reinforcement is inserted in the concrete to strengthen it. 

As a result, opting for the right type of concrete sealers is of utmost necessity. It ensures protection by shielding surfaces from a wide range of water-related issues caused by the cycles of thawing and freezing, stains from dirt, oil, and other impurities. In addition, it also prevents an individual from investing unnecessarily.  

Understanding The Role Of Concrete Sealers

The sealers for concrete are intended to provide protection for the concrete's surface against degradation, rust, and discolouration over time. Most concrete surface degradation is usually caused by surface moisture penetration. It's essential to safeguard and preserve the concrete surfaces while doing regular maintenance to increase their lifespan. Concrete sealers function by covering your concrete's surface or by penetrating into its pores and attaching to its inherent attributes. There are several types of sealers and choosing the right one can be the game changer. 

How To Choose The Right Concrete Sealers?

In order to choose the right kind of sealers for a concrete surface, one must be aware of the different types of concrete sealers in the market and their benefits. 

Waterproof Concrete Sealers 

A sealer should be a product that has the ability to penetrate deep into the surface as well as the substrate in order to seal and act as a protective covering. A waterproof sealer protects the concrete surface from penetrating water deep into the seal on which it turns into a solid form enclosing all alkali and lime in its impenetrable layer.

As a result, the concrete surface coated with waterproof sealers becomes water resistant along with other dirt, grease and acid which extends the overall life of the surface. 

Epoxy Concrete Sealers 

Epoxy concrete sealers are a great option for heavily utilized interior floors. This specific sealer not only offers a durable finish but also deters excessive abrasion. The most popular applications for epoxy coatings are concrete flooring and countertops. As a matter of fact, this type of sealer offers a glossy finish with a thick composition.

Depending on the requirement of an individual, pigments can be added to the sealers for better colours and one can choose either some mid-level sheen or highly glossy one.  

Acrylic Concrete Sealers

If an individual is looking for a cost-effective option, acrylic sealers are the best. Not only is it easy to apply but is also best suited for the interiors and exteriors for sealing the concrete. In addition, this type of sealer is well resistant to UV and therefore doesn’t fade away with time.

If one is looking for sealers for the garage or wants to seal the pool decks and walkways, individuals can opt for acrylic sealers as they offer protection against chlorine water. The paint dries really fast and enhances colours while protecting against damage. 

Final Thoughts 

Choosing the right concrete sealers perth and applying them correctly is extremely crucial. To find the ideal balance of protection, durability, and affordability, consider the specific needs, surface, and location.

Methods Used By Pool Painters in Perth to Remove Pool Stains

Swimming pools are used the most in the summer and spring seasons, and after some years of usage, their condition begins to deteriorate, and it starts wearing down. The worst affected is the external looks or the paint that suffers from several issues, including stains. The first task of pool painters in Perth is to remove these stains, and they use a particular process that we will discuss here in this post.

How To Remove Pool Stains?

Swimming pools suffer from two types of stains: organic and inorganic stains caused by metals like iron, copper and others. Organic stains result from leaves, algae and other natural materials on the surface. Differentiating between these stains is very easy for pool painters in Perth. You can also do this by pouring some granular chlorine on these stains and leaving it for a few minutes. If they fade or disappear, it means these stains are organic.

Experts of pool painting services use a method to prevent these organic stains from returning. The steps of this method are listed below.

•          Use a robotic cleaner to remove leaves.

•          Scrub your surface regularly.

•          Trim back any nearby trees or bushes.

•          Oxidise your pool water to break down organic matter.

•          Use a pool cover to prevent leaves and debris from falling.

Removing Inorganic Stains

Pool painters in Perth say that inorganic stains are generated from the metals in the water, such as iron, copper, etc. Iron stains are rare, but copper stains are frequent due to the overuse of copper-based algae-killing agents and low-quality chemicals such as ionisers and sanitisers. These stains are easy to remove by rubbing dry acid on them.

How To Prevent Inorganic Stains From Coming Back?

•          Using metal sequestrant regularly is a good idea as it prevents metals from depositing and forming stains.

•          Regular testing of pool water also helps in stopping inorganic stains.

•          The pH level and total alkalinity should be within the recommended range.

•          If possible, avoid using copper-based algae-killing agents and other products that can add copper to the pool water.

•          Purchase only high-quality pool chemicals.

•          Water softeners and filtration systems can be very helpful in removing metals from the pool.
