Pool Finish Guide - Bella Pools of South Florida

Surface Preparation

On pools with a pre-existing plaster surface, Bond Kote is applied on top of your existing plaster in order for the new finish to properly attach. Bond Kote is used to produce a superior substrate to mechanically bond new pool coatings over existing plaster finishes. This ensures that you will have a valid warranty on your surface as is required by the manufacturer. It is the most effective way to ensure a uniform application of the plaster surface and to minimize de-lamination. Bond Kote is a two part cementitious coating that provides even hydration while plastering.
