- Open Pressure pot, insert 5 quart plastic bucket with ½ -64 oz Methol Ethol Keytone (MEK) Solvent.
- Turn on Compressor to build pressure in the tank & gun (35 psi). Check for any leaks within the gun and hose connections.
- Open valve on top of the tank and spray the MEK solvent into a clean 5 gal. bucket. We will re-use for cleaning the sprayer when finished. Remove from pot.
- Pour 32 oz Part (a) AquaGuard 5000 resin color into a 5 quart plastic container, add 16 oz part (b) AquaGuard 5000 Hardener with 5 oz epoxy reducer (xylene). Mix till uniform in color approximately one minute with a 1 gal. mixing paddle on a drill.
- Insert Container in pressure pot. Build pressure to 35 psi on both air and liquid gage.
- Spray the rest of the MEK Solvent in the hose into the 5 gal. bucket until AquaGuard 5000 comes through.
- Put tip guard on the gun. Do a test spot on plastic or cardboard prior to spraying on the Pool or Spa.
- Adjust gun air pressure on bottom of gun as needed to insure you only spray dots. Note: If air is too high you will have a dot with a mist behind it. We want Dots ONLY.
- Spray walls & stair risers first. Stay 18-24” back while moving your gun hand in a small circular motion. Once complete move back to deep end floor and walk backwards out of pool.
- Spray stair treads and rim of Fiberglass Pool from the Deck.
- Once done bleed the air from the pressure pot, remove the bucket and unused material, wipe the stem clean with MEK Solvent Rag & discard. Put clean MEK in a clean 5 quart container, put back in pressure pot, spray through hose and gun till its clean. Run new MEK through machine 2-3 times till clean. Remove gun and clean as needed, apply WD40.
