About This Product

Pond Shield is a non-toxic epoxy liner designed for the pond and water feature industry. Created to construction water features or ponds with a more designer, formal or natural look than rubber liners are able to offer with no more unsightly folds or creases. In addition, unlike rubber liners, Pond Shield is available in eight colors - Black, Clear, Competition Blue, Sky Blue, Forest Green, Tan, Gray and White. Pond Shield is used for waterproofing structured surfaces found in water features such as Koi ponds, pools, fountains, aquariums, salt water tanks, hydroponics, streams, waterfalls, reflecting pools, mini lakes, holding tanks, etc. Easily applied and easy to maintain, for most applications, a single coat application is all that is needed for proper coverage. In addition, your pond will be virtually maintenance free with a surface that algae can be easily wiped off of and is safe for fish and plants. Pond Shield offers both strength and flexibility in a coating, strength and flexibility that is tested from -78° F to 140° F. Pond Shield is an epoxy pond liner that has been specifically designed to bond to porous or abraded materials. With a tensile bond strength stronger than the internal strength of the concrete, your single coat of Pond Shield epoxy will stick to what you apply it to. Over time, hairline cracks can form in concrete, mortar or grout joints. Being flexible, Pond Shield resists mimic cracking and provides the best protection possible in a coating.

Questions & Answers

How many Square Feet does 1.5 Gallons cover? Is Multiple coats recommended?
BySep 30, 2020
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

On a smooth 60-grit sandpaper surface, it will cover up to 240 square feet. The minimum recommended thickness is 10 mils (10 thousandths of an inch). Pond Shield can be applied in one or more coats depending on your specific scenario. If you have any other questions, please call us toll free at 800-716-1545 or visit us online at www.pondarmor.com

    Can this be used to resurface a concrete pool slide? IF so do i need to put a clear coat of epoxy over the pond armor? will it be slippery enough to enjoy?
    ByJun 2, 2020
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    As long as the concrete is still solid and won't chip away a double or triple coat of Pond Shield will make it really strong and waterproof. You must acid wash the concrete to allow the epoxy to adhere really well. No matter what color you choose it will dry to a glossy surface which will be super slippery with just a hint of water on it.

    Can this be applied to xps foam?

    Answer This Question

    I don't know the exact answer you are asking, but... I've have epoxied many foam cores for surfboards and similar things. Normally one would use standard 2 part epoxy and add tinting to get the desired color and apply to a foam either with or without fiberglass cloth. Pond Shield is kind of an expensive alternative for the epoxy and I guess it would do the job, but I have never tried.

    Yes, please see our videos about working with foam in the miscellaneous section of our videos page on the Pond Armor website located here: https://www.pondarmor.com/pond-armor-videos/ If you have any other questions please contact us at 800-716-1545.

      Can I use this in a swimming pool to seal it? How much does the 1.5 gallon cover and how do you apply; spray, roll, etc?
      ByJun 22, 2016
      2 Answers | 
      Answer This Question

      Yes you can use it in a swimming pool. A 1.5 gallon kit covers 240 square feet at 10mils minimum thickness on a 60-grit sandpaper smooth surface. Additional assistance and other help articles and videos can be seen at www.pondarmor.com

      By|Oct 25, 2018

        Sure. You'll need to acid wash per instructions and it is real easy to roll on a smooth surface. Although indications in the instructions say 480 SQ FT per 1.5 gals I found I covered 420 sq ft with one coat. And you need a 2nd coat to bring it up to 10 mil thickness, so figure 3 gals per 420 sq ft.

          Bought 4.5 gals and as a first time user we followed the Rough installation guide for our new pond. Mixed a small amount to do the trim areas around the rocks with brushes, then made 2 large batches to roll on the walls and floor. Then another small batch to do the waterfall. Turned out great. Filled the pond up the next day.

          Learning curve on working with it. Used to repair concrete fountain ( part of the process ), will know years down the road better. So far so good.
