G4 Pond Sealants
Seals concrete ponds
G4 Pond Seal is a moisture cured polyurethane which forms a non-porous seal on concrete rendered ponds, G4 uses the moisture in the air and the render to harden, it can be applied to slightly damp surfaces, but it is important that the render is sufficiently dry to be porous so as to enable the first coat of G4 to bond and obtain a mechanical grip,G4 can be applied in poor weather conditions, high humidity and at temperatures down to zero degree's.
Construction Materials
As a general rule the pond should be constructed to be structurally sound since the G4 only provides the waterproof seal, on no account use a P.V.A based sealer to seal or prime any surfaces, these materials can contain ammonia and also stop the G4 from adhering to the render.
Ponds will normally be constructed with either brick, lightweight block or concrete block and then rendered, it is not necessary to add waterproofing agents to the render mix as this will increase the density of the render and can inhibit penetration, if a waterproofing agent has been used, simply rub down the surface with an abrasive to obtain a key.
If a fibre is used to give strength to the render it is necessary to burn off or sand down any fibres that are on the surface, as any fibres that protrude will cause leakage, G4 will not bond to the fibres.
The cement render should be trowelled to an even surface but not to a smooth dense plaster like finish since this prevents the penetration of G4, new render should be kept damp for the first three days and then allowed to harden for 21-28 days depending on conditions.
Method of application
Apply the first coat by brush, a roller can be used but it is necessary to avoid puddling of the G4 on the base, it is best to use a brush, allow the first coat to become finger tacky ( like cellotape ) or dry enough to walk upon carefully, approximately 45-60 minutes depending on humidity, then apply 2nd coat, when second coat is finger tacky apply third coat, no longer than 4 hours should pass between coats, if a colour is used, then use 2 coats of standard and 2 coats of colour, G4 is mechanically hard after 24 hours but must be given 72 hours to chemically cure, after which the pond can be washed down with plenty of water, drained, and can then be filled.
Usage
G4 Standard - 3 coats = 550g per sqm for the three coats
G4 Coloured - 2 coats of standard = 410g per sqm for 2 coats
and 2 coats of colour = 400g per sqm for 2 coats
Note
G4 is available in Clear, Black and Green.

Gold Label Aqua Pond Paint
Gold Label Aqua Pond Paint is a recent addition to the pond paint market. It has been manufactured to simplify pond sealing.
Gold Label pond paint is water based paint with an activator, this makes rollering or brushing simple with no drag.
Gold label Aqua pond paint will cover approx 6-8 meters per litre better than most pond paints on the market today. Two coats will suffice on most ponds. Very quick curing times allow quick refills. (Please read instructions before commencing.)
Gold Label Pond Paint Instructions:
Before painting check your surfaces for imperfections, cracks etc and fill where appropriate. For large cracks in the concrete, vee out the cracks to approx 10mm - make sure the surface to be bonded is solid and dust free. Fill with Gold Label Pond & Aquarium Sealer.
Painting can then commence immediately. Although Aqua Pond Paint is much safer than normal resin systems, it is recommended you should avoid contact by using barrier cream or gloves. Any splashes should be washed off with soap and water.
Method of use:
DO NOT apply in temperatures below 10°C
1. Add the hardener in the top unit to the paint in the bottom unit and stir throughly, making sure it is completely mixed - VERY IMPORTANT - stir for a minimum of 2 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: - Once mixed, the paint is usable for 1.5 hours in ambient temperatures. Over 20°c the working time will be reduced.
2. After mixing, apply immediately by brush, roller or spray. Ensure the coating is worked into the corners etc. Apply minimum of 2 coats. The second coat can be applied when the first is touch dry after approx 6-8 hours at 20°c. The same for any subsequent coats.
3. The paint will cure hard in 12 hours and full cure in 3-7 days, depending on atmospheric conditions. When fully cured, wash the painted surface and drain before final fill.
Available in Black Only
