Save Your Time - Spray Pond Shield Epoxy, Don't Brush and Roll It On

Well, you must be happy that you have done a great job. You have spent the time, money, frustration and tolerance to create for yourself a beautiful landscaping for your house, which will enhance its value significantly. If you considered spray Pond Shield epoxy as opposed to using rollers and brushes whilst your pond plans were in the design stage, you saved yourself a good amount of time.

It must be noted that before the decision can be made whether to spray or brush and roll epoxy on your pond's interior, you need to be aware that you will need a helper and that you will need a special sprayer. Your universal paint sprayer cannot do the job because the epoxy is way too thick for it to handle. This particular sprayer will be expensive and you need to purchase it only when you think that you will be needing it several times in the future. If you wish to do only one project with this sprayer, then it is advisable to rent it. The experts also advise that your pond will require a minimum of eight quart kits if you were using the traditional brush and roller technique of applying the epoxy. Less area than this would not be cost effective to spray. As the sprayer will use up some epoxy itself, you need to carefully review the manufacturer's instructions on the sprayer to understand just how much epoxy you have to purchase.

Keep in mind the Different Kinds of Sprayers Available for Rent

You must check the psi strength of the sprayer before making a decision to purchase or rent a sprayer. To properly spray the thick Pond Shield epoxy, the sprayer must have a rating of at least 3000 psi. Higher psi is much more effective. Don't let the store manager convince you to take a sprayer with a rating less than 3,000 psi. Likewise you need a spray that has a large tip because it will let you cover more area easily. The hose that you affix to the sprayer should also be large. One half inch diameter hose would be okay to spray epoxy in your pond.

For the job to be done correctly without any troubles, the helper is essential. The helper you select for this job should be familiar with making pond shield epoxy so that you do not run out of epoxy when you are spraying the pond. Pond shield epoxy dries quickly and thus you can not stop before completely spraying the whole pond. Such interrupted action allows the epoxy to dry up in the sprayer which makes it nearly impossible to clean.

Now that you have made all preparations including securing a help partner, buying the right amount of Pond Shield epoxy and the correct kind of sprayer and hose, etc., when all is said and done you will notice that you have saved hours of time building your pond. The savings here are terrific since you will be saving many labor hours spraying the pond instead of brushing or rolling it. If you want to know how much you saved by spraying epoxy, then ask an expert how much he would charge you for brushing or rolling epoxy.
