    Refinishing / Restoring a Fiberglass Pool Slide

    Hey there- We did not prime prior to the product. We did mix half and then mixed again for the second coat. It does get harder to use with the second coat as it seems to be thicker.

    Refinishing / Restoring a Fiberglass Pool Slide

    Wow, never even thought of taking ours to a body shop...what a great idea!! That is how I figured out how to refurbish it though. I figured if you can repair the fiberglass on a corvette, a slide should be pretty simple. I just never thought to take it to a shop. Duh!

    Babies in pools

    We have had "accidents" in our pool and quite frankly, it is not that big of an issue. With proper chemical use there really is no need for concern outside of the gross effect! I think the parents are more mortified than anyone and I would rather have the kids have fun than worry about the...

    Refinishing / Restoring a Fiberglass Pool Slide

    Well, we sanded down any imperfections and put an overcoat on and we have a couple of spots that are a little duller than others. That is mostly at the top of the slide which may be due to the dew we had during the night. It did turn out really well and we are going to buff it out and wax it...

    Refinishing / Restoring a Fiberglass Pool Slide

    Hey- Here are pictures from our slide refurbishing. We used the Interlux Perfection. It took about 2 days for prep with sanding, bondo and waiting for the weather. We have one more coat to put on. The paint is a little tricky to use but not bad. We bought one quart (68.00USD) and that is...

    Applying for internal transfers at your job

    You should definitely let them know you are interested in any IT position that might be available. I would make it "light" and let them know of your qualifications and your desire to assist the company in IT development. Depending on the structure of the human resource department, you will...

    Refinishing / Restoring a Fiberglass Pool Slide

    OK. We sanded down the slide which made a huge difference. Still have to take some pic's. We have a few chips to repair and then another sanding and cleaning. I ordered the Interlux perfection (after talking to our marine supply store). Depending on the weather we should be able to finish it...
