The Scratch Kote 2000 System is designed to not only bond new pool surfaces to substrates, but also to enhance the performance of that new surface during its installation, curing, and lifespan. Using large aggregate and enhanced polymer blends, Scratch Kote 2000 grips and sticks as well as resists the elements to prevent delamination. To protect your elevated pool finish, Scratch Kote 2000 is the only choice.
*OPTIONAL – Apply Vapor Shield to the substrate to reduce the green window of concrete, prevent efflorescence, and/or resist hydrostatic pressure coming through wall. Apply with a pump sprayer in conjunction with water, back-to-back. Repeat for a total of 2 coats. Allow 24 hours to dry.
Apply Scratch Kote 2000 or 2-Part with a hopper gun, pressure sprayer or a ¾”-1¼” nap roller. Applied material should peak, not slump. Allow to cure for 12 hours before plastering.

A: Once a pool shell is installed, it is best to wait at least 24 hours. For VAPOR SHIELD, you may spray it the moment the shell is hard.
A: Yes you do. Scuffing the tile will not provide the proper adhesion necessary for proper performance.
A: Yes, SCRATCH KOTE 2000 aids in even curing and creates even suction to help reduce modeling of plaster and/or pebble pool finishes.
A: No, you must patch that area of the pool shell with a rust inhibitor like SPEED MIX, then apply the SCRATCH KOTE 2000.
