How to place mosaic under water?

From the previous question you can imagine that it is possible to place mosaic even under water, either because the need has arisen, due to a repair to the pool or replacement of accessories.

For these situations there are elastic and waterproof sealing adhesives such as Litosil Ms from Litokol, MS Aqua Piscinas from the company Aqa Chemicals or similar.

These types of sealants resist chlorinated water and salt water. Also to aging, weather, temperature and ozone. Likewise, they offer good behavior against chemical agents.

Advantages

• Glues on wet and immersion supports
• Flexible
• Raincoat
• Ready to use
• Excellent adhesion without primer on all typical industrial and construction materials
• No danger symbol on the label
• It can be painted with most water- and solvent-based paints (preliminary tests are recommended in any case)

Application

• Once opened, containers should be used up in a relatively short period of time.
• The optimal operating temperature for support and sealant is between 15°C and 25°C.
• The finishing of the joints must be carried out during the open time of the sealant.
• Be careful when using alcohol or resins, as they can interfere with the sealant´s hardening process and reduce drying time.
• Do not allow polymerization in the presence of silicone sealants.
• Avoid contact with solvents during cross-linking.
• Since the product is a moisture-hardening product, allow sufficient exposure to air.
• Glued elements may require more support during the hardening period.
• The extruded product must be compressed and penetrate deeply to promote optimal adhesion and guarantee hydraulic tightness. It is recommended to use a plastic brush moistened with soapy water.

In short, if you are faced with the challenge of doing a small repair with a pool full of water, there are specific products. With their water resistance, flexibility, easy application and durability, these multi-purpose adhesive sealants are the solution you need to keep your pool in perfect condition all season long.
