Stop itching skin from a fiberglass pool?

All fiberglass has a final coating of gel coat, it could be marine gel coat, tooling gel coat, or swimming pool gel coat. Typically, swimming pool gel coat will last about 20 years before it loses effectivness. At that point, algae becomes able to "cling", the surface begins to stain, and the actual fiberglass becomes evident to swimmers, causing scratches. There is only one solution, lightly sand off the remaining gel coat, wash down the pool, apply one coat of vinyl ester resin, and roll-on 3 coats of swimming pool gel coat. The pool will be as good as new for another 20 years, provided the pool is properly cared for.


How do you get stains off plastic pool steps?

Vinyl liner pool steps are constructed of fiberglass, vinyl ester resin, and swimming pool gel coat. Staining (and blisters) occur around the pools 20th anniversary. It's caused by a breakdown of the white finish called swimming pool gel coat. Stains and blisters can only be removed by replacing the now porous gel coat with new nonporous swimming pool gel coat. Done properly, the new gel coat will last another 20 years.

What causes blisters on Fiberglass pool panels?

Blisters are caused by a breakdown of the swimming pool gel coat, which occurs after about 15 to 20 years of use. The problem is easily and inexpensively solved by removing the existing gel coat, and replacing it with exactly the same product that was used originally. Every 15-20 years thereafter, you'll need to remove and reapply the swimming pool gel coat. It is imperative that this be done once every 20 years. At the first sign of blisters, stains that can't be wiped away with detergent and a cloth, or algae that is able to cling to the surface, you'll know that it's time for new swimming pool gel coat. These are all indications that the non-porous gel coat has become porous and must be replaced.

How can you stop the sides of your fiberglass pool from being chalky?

For most fiberglass swimming pools, it means that the pool is at least eighteen years old and is in need of new gel coat. All things fiberglass have a finish coat of gel coat. Because swimming pools must contend with harsh chemicals, the swimming pool gel coat does not last forever. The longevity of the gel coat depends upon two factors: 1) the pool manufacturer, and 2) proper maintenance. There is a huge difference between manufacturers. Gel coat replacement ranges from 27 years at the top, to as low as 4 years, or less, at the bottom of the list. But the average for most fiberglass swimming pools is around 20 years. Nevertheless, chalking always means that the nonporous gel coat has become porous and needs to be replaced with new swimming pool gel coat as soon as possible.

Will your D1S80 fragments be separated by gel electrophoresis if you have a 200 base pair and a 400 base pair?

Yes, gel electrophoresis separates fragments based on their size. Therefore it will be able to separate a 200bp fragment from a 400bp fragment provided you use the correct gel composition (as this affects the sensitivity to size differences).
