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.

KAIJUNE 2024 #3: CANOJAHARIE

[CONTENT WARNING OUTSIDE OF EPISTOLARY KAYFABE: THIS STORY DEALS WITH THEMES OF SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION]

-------------------------------------------------------------

You probably don't know who I am, but know that I didn't come here expecting to leave here.

I don't want to pity-party here, you know the drill with cases like me, the kind of autistic that gets into gifted classes while ending up unemployable, parents who let me linger as a NEET even as they wanted me to be someone I couldn't, privileged enough to not be worthy of pity because at least I was allowed to linger but enough of an anxiety-autistic-executive-dysfunction unemployable wreck to be unable to dig myself out.

The usual sad white cismale-ish failennial sob story. Even still, I could have gone along fine. I could've probably survived up to around 40 like this before going out. It was what happened to her that brought me here. I knew her by her handle most of the days I talked to her, PinkJirachi02 if you want to know, but I want you to remember, her name was Maria. 

Do not forget her, even if you forget me, even if you forget the rest of this letter, do not forget that her name was Maria and she believed in everyone. She believed in me. But she's gone now. If she couldn't be saved, what hope was there for me?

I was never a good artist. I dreamed of being an artist, but I never could get there. But if I was going to die, at least I could die artfully, here. 

The haze of the forest was as clear as a dream when I walked in. I knew I was taking the right direction when the trees began to block out the sun, and yet the light still came from somewhere around there.

There were pools of tar, but they were... alive. Like in a memory where things blurred together. The tar dripping from trees merged with the bark, the babbling brooks and bubbling pitch harmonious, the bones I saw moved like things alive and happy but not as their constituent parts had moved. It was beautiful, in a way. A smell of tar that mixed with the scent of the place as it smelled of the forest and earth in all the ways tar did not.

You couldn't see them if you weren't looking for them. I've never been observant myself. But it was my last walk. I might as well observe. Until I didn't observe the reason why I had come here, resting, peacefully. A temple to creation that walked like a beast, tarry back and scarred horns, great paws and the bones of the past, pawing as if they were dreaming. Until they twitched alert.

I walked forward. The creature moved and the earth shook. It turned its head, a skeletal face with the sad smile of the dead. I wasn't afraid to die But he just... looked at me, for a while. Tail whipping back and forth, small flecks of tar still dripping. Unmoving, staring.

For once in my life, I took the first move. I ran and jumped, into the bones, grasping; flailing; before he could move, and gave myself unto the tar.

It took me unto itself, the bones, the eras past. I could see the earth, changing, life and death merging together, plants dying reborn as tar, bones of the dead given life by the ages. And I saw myself. 

But I didn't see the pain. I saw those late nights with friends online, watching and laughing at shitty movies. I saw those days I made my masterpieces of cut up toy parts and epoxy putty. I saw my city, the trips to the old theatre for the all-night horrorthon, the game store where I volunteered to paint terrain. I saw the people who loved me.

And I knew right there that I didn't want to die. I want to live. I want to live, so badly, so deeply, but I couldn't live with this downward spiral where this world I love kept dying or being murdered by the loveless, something had to change, but in change there is life, and I wanted that change, because I wanted to live...

...And then, I was in that forest. Outside of the beast, no tar on my clothes. It was looking at me. Into my eyes. And it said something, in a low rumbling voice that shook the forest.

"GO. BACK. TO GO. FORWARD..."

And with that it went, and the forest went with it. I felt something on my left arm, and I looked at it. There was something very different in its place. 

It's funny, I'd brought this paper here to write a suicide note, but I'd forgotten to write it before jumping in. But I guess it serves a purpose now. If you see Andrea; handle Datajunk, or Janine; handle RonaldMcVore, or any of the others from the Bowling Alley on Discord, tell 'em I'm going to Tucson. For Maria's sake. For our sake. I'm keeping our promise...

-[There is no name attached to the note, just an indecipherable signature and; on another page the print of a paw with a thumb and four fingers and yet unlike anything else human]

----------------------------

Ability Notes- You know what hot tar does to living things? Now imagine that but paranatural and with thousands of living(?) bones in it. Do not grapple Canojaharie. And yes, it can also projectile vomit the tar.and leave puddles of it around as traps. Fun!

It also subtly alters the world and organisms around it into its 'image," mostly temporarily but sometimes permanently if something gets a full blast of it and leaves, and though this is usually negligible in a kaiju battle scale, it can make a difference. It can also gain a... simulacra of certain abilities of a dead organism if it absorbs the bones therein, and whether it has access to this abilities... varies, it is speculated based on the parabiological processes few have come along to study.

Bonus Trivia: Nobody's really sure whether the tar or the bones are the "real" Canojaharie, given that "mind-melds" where the participants survive are rare and rarer still is any useful data retrieved. The amount of tar it contains within it is significantly larger than its massive bulk should physically contain, but then again kaiju tell the laws of physics to take a flying leap as a matter of course, so...

---------------------------

So, another one I made with a broken Battle Cat figure, a bunch of black caulk, lots of dino skeleton figurines, parts from some Halloween skeletons and two nails for horns. A design I'm proud of, though shoutout to @thehungryreaderer for giving me the song to name 'em after.

I hope the protag didn't come off as too cringeworthy, because given how they... well, I've never attempted suicide, but a lot of that comes from my own experience, if you couldn't tell. Also, there's foreshadowing in the story for another entry coming later, but you'll just have to wait and see about that...

And, in the grand  Kaijune tradition, this character and all related narrative elements are under a CC-BY 4.0 license, as long as I, Thomas F Johnson, am credited as their creator. Have fun!

[kazeharuhime]

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.

What Is Concrete Pool Paint and Why Should You Use It?

When it comes to maintaining the beauty, safety, and durability of your swimming pool, choosing the right coating is essential. One of the most effective solutions for concrete pools is Concrete Pool Paint. This specialised paint not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your pool but also provides critical protection against water damage, algae growth, and surface wear. But what exactly is Concrete Pool Paint, and why should you consider using it?

What Is Concrete Pool Paint?

Concrete Pool Paint is a specially formulated coating designed to be applied directly to the concrete surfaces of swimming pools. Unlike regular paint, it is engineered to withstand constant water exposure, harsh chemicals, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. It creates a waterproof barrier that protects the concrete from cracking, chipping, and staining, while also offering a smooth, attractive finish.

There are several types of Concrete Pool Paint available, with the most common being:

Epoxy Paint: Highly durable and chemical-resistant, ideal for long-term performance.

Chlorinated Rubber Paint: Offers good flexibility and ease of application.

Acrylic Paint: A cost-effective, quick-drying option suitable for pools that require frequent repainting.

Each type has its own advantages, depending on your pool’s needs, environment, and budget.

Why Should You Use Concrete Pool Paint?

1. Improves Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most immediate benefits of using Concrete Pool Paint is its ability to transform the look of your pool. Whether you prefer a clean white finish, a bold blue hue, or even black for a sleek modern vibe, pool paint comes in various colours to suit your style. A freshly painted pool surface can completely refresh the appearance of your outdoor space.

2. Protects Concrete Surfaces

Uncoated concrete is porous and vulnerable to damage from water infiltration, chemicals, and algae. Over time, this can lead to cracks, stains, and surface degradation. Concrete Pool Paint creates a sealed surface that prevents water from penetrating the concrete, significantly extending the life of your pool structure.

3. Enhances Safety

A properly painted pool surface can improve safety by reducing slipperiness and providing better visibility of the pool floor. Some paints also offer textured finishes or anti-slip additives for enhanced grip.

4. Cost-Effective Maintenance

Compared to complete resurfacing or retiling, using Concrete Pool Paint is an affordable way to maintain and rejuvenate your pool. With proper preparation and application, high-quality paint like epoxy can last 5 to 7 years, providing great value for money.

5. Easy Application and Quick Results

Most types of Concrete Pool Paint are designed for relatively easy application. With basic tools like rollers or sprayers, you can achieve a professional finish. Acrylic pool paints can even be applied to damp surfaces and dry within a day, making them a great option for quick refurbishments.

Conclusion

If you own a concrete swimming pool and want to keep it looking great and structurally sound, Concrete Pool Paint is a smart investment. From improving the pool’s appearance to providing a protective barrier and reducing maintenance costs, the benefits are clear. Choosing the right type of Concrete Pool Paint tailored to your pool’s needs will ensure you enjoy a beautiful and durable swimming area for years to come.

Can You Use Epoxy Floors Outdoors?

If you've ever seen a glossy, smooth epoxy garage floor and thought, “Hey, that would look great on my patio,” you’re not alone. The big question is—can epoxy floors be used outside? And more importantly, should they be? Let’s break it down for homeowners who want more than just a pretty finish—they want durability, safety, and long-term performance in the harsh Las Vegas climate.

The Outdoor Flooring Dilemma

Outdoor spaces like patios, driveways, walkways, and even pool decks take a serious beating. We're talking relentless UV rays, fluctuating temperatures, foot traffic, moisture, and in some cases, heavy vehicle load. Traditional surfaces like plain concrete or tile can crack, fade, or become dangerously slippery when wet. And while painting concrete is an option, it rarely lasts longer than a couple of summers without chipping or peeling.

This leaves homeowners in search of something tougher, longer-lasting, and more stylish. That’s where epoxy enters the chat—but can it really hold its own outdoors?

How Epoxy Floors Measure Up Outside

Let’s start with the basics. Epoxy is a two-part resin system that, once cured, forms a solid, non-porous surface. It’s famous for its strength and chemical resistance, making it a go-to for garages, warehouses, and commercial spaces. But using it outdoors requires some nuance.

The Good News:

Durability: Epoxy can absolutely handle the wear and tear of outdoor traffic—foot or vehicle. It’s tougher than paint and more crack-resistant than untreated concrete.

Moisture Barrier: Once cured, epoxy acts as a sealant, repelling water, oil, and other liquids. Perfect for pool decks and patios.

Customization: From slip-resistant textures to embedded decorative flakes or quartz, epoxy gives you full control over the finish.

Low Maintenance: No more power washing your concrete every other week. Epoxy-coated surfaces clean up with just soap and water.

The Caveats:

UV Sensitivity: Standard epoxy isn't a fan of sunlight. It can yellow or chalk over time when exposed to direct UV rays. That’s why outdoor epoxy formulas often include a UV-stable topcoat, like polyaspartic or polyurethane.

Temperature-Specific Application: Epoxy needs the right conditions to cure properly. Las Vegas summers? Not a great time to install unless you’re using rapid-cure blends or working at night.

Alternatives and Comparisons

Let’s say you’re considering an outdoor flooring project and weighing your options. How does epoxy compare?

Paint: Cheaper upfront but prone to chipping, peeling, and fading. Lasts 1–2 years at best outdoors.

Concrete Stains: Aesthetic but don’t offer the same durability or moisture protection.

Pavers: Great for patios but expensive and can shift or settle unevenly.

Stamped Concrete Overlays: Stylish and durable, but still porous without a sealer.

Epoxy with a UV-resistant topcoat gives you the best of all worlds: durability, beauty, and protection. It's especially ideal for patios, covered porches, driveways with light traffic, and around the pool.

Real Use Cases That Make Sense

Not every outdoor space is a candidate for epoxy, but here are some great fits:

Covered Patios: Less UV exposure and temperature swings make these ideal for epoxy coatings.

Walkways & Entryways: Epoxy adds slip-resistance and a polished finish.

Driveways: If it’s a short or shaded area and you add a protective topcoat, epoxy is a sleek, oil-resistant upgrade.

Pool Decks: Epoxy with anti-slip additives and UV shielding can keep wet areas safe and stylish.

Design & Climate Considerations

Epoxy isn’t just practical—it’s a design playground. You can go with solid colors, decorative flake blends, or even metallic finishes for a high-end look. In Las Vegas, lighter shades help reduce surface temperature and add visual contrast to landscaping.

But remember: the desert climate can swing from 115°F in summer to below freezing on winter nights. Make sure your installer knows how to choose the right formulation and apply it in optimal conditions. Otherwise, premature cracking or peeling can occur.

Final Thoughts: Is Outdoor Epoxy Worth It?

If you're looking for a long-lasting, beautiful finish and you're willing to work with a pro who knows how to handle our wild Las Vegas sun, then yes—epoxy floors absolutely belong outdoors. Just don’t cut corners. Use the right product. Prep the surface. And always seal it with a UV-resistant topcoat.
