Best Answer

Swimming pool paint companies do not recomment mixing paint types rubber goes back on rubber or epoxy back on epoxy

So if you want epoxy, sandblast off the rubber. BTW Silica sand is very toxic and best left to the pros, the paint ain't much to help out the health either.

Take special care when painting, Kelly Tech is a good paint source

Can gunite be added to reduce the interior depth of your pool?

A gunite pool shell IS waterproof before plastering. First, gunite/shotcrete is not water proof. The reason for the plaster is to make the pool water proof. You don't have to and should not water proof gunite because it will affect the bonding properties for the plaster. Contrary to the previous answer, Gunite is in fact "waterProof" when correctly applied. Unless there are improperly prep'd cold-joints (the point at which one application has stopped for some reason -perhaps rain, slow truck turnaround, etc- and begun at a later time), a Gunite pool could virtually be "painted", providing a high steel-trowel finish was applied to the Gunite. But, Gunite pops (begins to set and cure) faster than typically appied Marblite or Diamond Bright type cementitious finishes. Actually, the Gunite "finish" surface is purposely left fairly rouch, providing a better surface to which the finish/color material may bond.

Can you paint over epoxy paint with any kind of cement floor paint?

Best to remove the epoxy first, otherwise you could experience some peeling issues. If you insist on not removing the epoxy, be sure to remove any grease or oil, clean and sand the surface flat so the floor paint has a solid surface to gain a tenacious bond.


Remove epoxy from glass?

The way to remove epoxy depends on where the epoxy is. If it is on the skin a person can use vinegar or acetone to remove the epoxy. If the epoxy is dried onto a surface a person can use paint thinner or adhesive remover to get rid of the epoxy.
