Feature(may vary by option.)

●LEAKY POND OR WATER FEATURE - Ponds will eventually spring a leak. Whether it’s Concrete, EPDM or Wood Liquid Rubber NeoPond Sealant is a liquid applied coating that cures into a seamless waterproof membrane
●FLEXIBLE HEAVY-DUTY COATING - UV stable and easy application of a waterproofing sealant for a fully submersible water feature or pond, fish and plant safe
●ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - Liquid Rubber NeoPond Sealant is water based, containing no Solvents and ultra-low VOCs
●EASY TO APPLY - Basically just like painting except you use heavy coats to build up your waterproof membrane
●FOR A BULLETPROOF SYSTEM - Bridge joints, seams, vents, gaps, protrusions…. With Liquid Rubber Seam Tape or Liquid Rubber Geo-Textile where possible movement may occur

NEOPOND SEALANT APPLICATION GUIDELINE

Step 1 - Inspect the surface	All surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry, and free from anything that would prevent proper adhesion. If not using kiln dried wood, be sure that the new wood is sufficiently dried (less than 15% relative humidity), this can take weeks to months (kiln dried wood should already be dry enough). Treated wood should be thoroughly cleaned to remove treatments from the surface to which you will apply your Liquid Rubber Solution and allowed to dry.
Step 1 - contd	Put a couple of drops of water on the surface of the dry wood. If it absorbs it is dry enough, if it beads up there is too much moisture and it needs additional drying time. Concrete must be cured for a minimum of 28 days. All flaws should be repaired and cured prior to coating.
For Concrete	Knock down high spots and make necessary repairs prior to application. Look for cracks, efflorescence, spalling/pitting and damp spots. Concrete should be etched using Liquid Rubber Concrete Etch or equivalent, power washed and allowed to fully dry. Be sure to perform a moisture test on the concrete prior to application. Refer to moisture test guidelines.
For Wood	Look for rot, splitting, checking, etc. and replace if necessary. Blight and biological growth must be removed using Liquid Rubber Deck and Patio Cleaner. Secure raised nail heads, deck screws and loose boards. Pre-fill imperfections such as screw holes, knots, and splits in the wood with a high-quality wood filler, or Liquid Rubber Sealant & Adhesive (or equivalent).
For PVC, Fiberglass and Metal	Look for cracking/crazing, chalking, exposed fibers, damage and rust. PVC, fiberglass and metal should be scuffed with sandpaper to remove gloss, prior to cleaning and primer application.
For EPDM	Look for cracking/crazing, oxidized/chalky surface, shrinkage (pulling away at the edges), blistering and damage, and repair as necessary.
Step 2 - Clean the surface	Clean the surface to be coated with Liquid Rubber RV Roof Smart Cleaner, by power wash or high-pressure nozzle on a garden hose or a combination as required and as available. For EPDM, fiberglass and PVC it is recommended to give the surface a wipe with a white rag right before you prime the surface, to "re-energize" the surface.
Step 3 - Details	Bridge cracks, cold joints, and transitions (floor to wall) using the 3-course method of Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer - Liquid Rubber 4” Geo-textile - Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer. Apply a generous 6” wide coat of Liquid Rubber MultiPurpose Primer along the areas and while still wet, embed the Geo-textile fabric, fuzzy side down. Smooth out wrinkles and apply a second coat on top. Allow to dry before application. Approx. 1-2 hours. For EPDM Liners use Liquid Rubber Seam Tape instead.
Step 4 - Masking	Tape-off, block off or otherwise mask areas that are not to receive coating. Remove while the coating is still wet.
Step 5 - Application	Prime the surface and allow to dry. Coat EPDM Primer as soon as possible after drying. Using a 3/8’’ (10mm) roller, apply approximately 3-4 coats Liquid Rubber NeoPond Sealant. Allow at least 4-6 hours drying time between coats. You can recoat after the material is dry to the touch with nothing wet underneath and it is uniform in color. Apply each new coat at a different angle to the previous coat to ensure even coverage. For rough surfaces, edges and corners apply using a nylon/polyester brush.
Step 6 - Inspect	Inspect for pinholes, blisters, thin spots, or other flaws. Recoat as necessary.
Step 7 - Protect	Allow 3-5 days before filling your pond or using your fountain/water feature.
Coverage	Apply a minimum of 1 gallon per 40 ft² (3.7sqm/G) final thickness. Should require 3-4 generous coats. Use up all required material.
CAUTION: - For Fish and Plants	When first filled, wait 24 hours, wipe the sides, drain and refill to remove surfactants. Repeat if necessary. Do not add fish or plants until the coating is uniform in color and the water is clean. Be sure to test the water for proper PH levels acceptable for your type of fish and adjust as necessary.

APPLICATION TIPS AND TRICKS

*	Apply using a 3/8 (10mm) roller, brush, or paint sprayer.
*	Apply to a clean, dry surface that is free of silicone, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, coal tar, or other anything that would hinder adhesion.
*	Remove silicone caulking and replace with Liquid Rubber Sealant & Adhesive (or equivalent).
*	Apply when the temperature is above 10˚C/50˚F and rising (including overnight temperatures).
*	For extra adhesion, performance, and longevity and to create a moisture vapor barrier, it is necessary to use 1 heavy coat of Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer.
*	Be sure to test the water for proper PH levels acceptable for your type of fish and adjust as necessary.
*	Apply each coat in an alternate direction to the last coat to ensure even coverage.
*	Apply next coat when dry to the touch with nothing wet underneath and is uniform in color. (typically 4-6 hours)

*	Typically cures within 72 hours. (3-5 Days after last coat before filling/using)
*	Avoid applying in direct intense sunlight.
*	Do not allow to freeze until fully cured.
*	Do not apply in wet conditions (including fog and dew) or if rain is forecast within 24 hours.
*	Avoid contact with solvents and solvent based cleaners, adhesives, and paints.
*	Remove painters tape while the coating is still wet.
*	May blush in the presence of water. This is due to local water content and does not affect the performance of the coating.
*	For best results remove existing paints/coatings and apply directly to the substrate. (some paints and coatings will not be compatible. Loose/flaky paint may be an indication that the existing paint/coating is not well bonded and therefore your Liquid Rubber solution may fail if applied over it instead of directly to the substrate. Oil based paints, enamels, epoxies, powder coats can be difficult to bond to.
