Gunite is similar to concrete except it cures quickly and you need to water the gunite shell 3 times daily for the first week to actually slow the curing.

The shell consists of a 12" thick bond beam (the top beam of the pool), 6" thick sidewalls, 10" thick coves (the part where the wall curves as it reaches the floor) and 6" thick floors. See similar questions...

Gunite is a mixture of cement/sand that is much stronger that concrete. With the proper steel ( 8" O.C.), we offer the Lifetime Structural Warranty. See similar questions...

Curing is the hardening of the urethane. It hardens from the top down. Therefore, the urethane may feel dry, but it isn't hard. As the hardening continues downward, the urethane is curing. The urethane is more than 50% cured in 6 hours, 90% cured in 24 hours. 100% curing occurs in 48 hours. See similar questions...

Shotcrete was originally called "Gunite" when Carl Akeley designed a doubled chambered cement gun in 1910. His apparatus pneumatically applied a sand and cement mixture at a high velocity to the intended surface. Other trademarks were soon developed known as Guncrete, Pneucrete, Blastcrete, Blocrete, Jetcrete, etc., all referring to pneumatically applied concrete. See similar questions...

A "gunite" pool is the same kind of pool you've seen all of your life at hotels, schools and apartment complexes. It's a steel reinforced concrete structure that's applied with a high pressure spray, shot from a hose with a "gun" attachment. The process can be either a dry method (where sand and cement are brought to the jobsite and mixed there) or a wet method (where the mixture has been prepared at a batch plant and brought to the jobsite).

Check for external contamination of the lamp by items like: spray, powder, reflector material or other particles. Make sure that coating and ink material is fully mixed before application. This allows the photo initiator to be evenly distributed in the coating media. Verify the number of operating hours that the lamp has run. Different applications result in different lamp lifetimes.

If this is occurring in existing system where this problem has not occurring before, check for darkening at the lamps ends which could reduce light output. Note that there is a natural optical roll off of UV output at the end of the lamp in a refectorized system. See similar questions...

Almost all products will cure on metal surfaces without a primer. Therefore, primers are recommended for use on non-metallic surfaces with anaerobics to achieve a practical cure speed. See similar questions...

We build and install both. Gunite pools are custom and more personal. They cost more and take longer to install, but we feel the added time is clearly worth it. Building a gunite pool is like building your own house, you get to pick all the details and when it is complete, you will generally feel better about it since you helped design it. But, fiberglass is a great alternative. They are installed quicker and are less expensive. And, fiberglass comes in many variations today. See similar questions...

Power supplies and UV lamps are usually designed and matched to provide peak performance. The lamp is cooled in a specially designed lamp irradiator assembly, which should provide an appropriate cooled environment for reliable lamp operation. Usually, upgrading would require both the lamp and power supply to be replaced, and additional modifications to the lamp irradiator assembly to provide an appropriate environment.

Exposure to air and moisture activates the product (which is why even a small hole in the foil pouch can cause the product to prematurely harden). Set up takes about 5 minutes with full weight bearing strength in 20 minutes. See similar questions...

Moisture curing urethane is 1K polyisocyanate resin which reacts with atmospheric moisture to form urea linkages.Although this is technically a polyurea system, it is generally referred to as moisture cured urethane (MCU).The chemistry is that polyisocyanates first undergo a reaction with water to form carbamic acid which dissociates to form amine & carbon dioxide which further undergo reaction with isocyanate to form urea linkages.Urea linkages offer excellent bonding characteristics.

Healing is the process of becoming whole again, of returning to the state of well-being and balance you are intended to have. Particularly in our Western culture, which prefers to take a linear, material, pragmatic approach to illness, the goal is symptomatic relief, or curing. Addressing underlying energetic imbalances and eliminating causes is the goal of healing. See similar questions...

Because water is essential for the hydration of cement in concrete, curing is the single most important action that a contractor or home owner can take to prolong the life of a concrete structure. Curing significantly impacts long term concrete properties including: durability, strength, surface integrity, watertightness, and resistance to freezing and thawing and deicer salts.

To prevent bud mold spreading in your crop we advise to trim the buds from larger leaves and stalks straight after harvest. It is less work intensive and prevents damage to the trichomes to trim the buds while they are still fresh. If you like to preserve the large head buds they can be hung from a line after trimming. The small to medium trimmed buds can be spread out on any type of screen that promotes air passage such as mosquito mesh, simple meshed curtains, etc. See similar questions...

the temperature and the relative humidity play a big role in the curing system, Sika sealants/adhesives are known to be moisture cure.  Sika also developed products in the SikaTack® line which use heat to assist in curing speed.  Please refer to the relevant technical data sheet for further information. Through differences in the chemical composition and curing mechanism, Sika has designed a range of products with specific characteristics to meet every application. See similar questions...
