"Ultra-Gard" - Any experience with this brand of epoxy pool resurfacer?
I have an old gunite pool that needs re-plastering. I have heard of using epoxy paints as a much less expensive, do-it-yourself alternative to plaster. Then I came across "Ultra-Gard", an industrial-strength epoxy which the makers claim won't flake or chip or delaminate. (It's 8-15 mils. thick instead of 1-2 mils. for regular epoxies.) They claim the prep process is the hardest and most important step. It includes repairing any weak spots in the old plaster; how easy or difficult is this?

if you must use this stuff, get a proffesional to do it for you, do not attempt it yourself. you will come unstuck (or stuck up) big time.

Its probably a good product, but if its real expensive or labor intensive, I would try using a paint that's meant for keeping out water and moisture. There are many basement/concrete paints for this purpose, I believe "Drylok" is just one example, but look around at the paint store or ask. People use these in basements to keep out water, and in garages, foundations, etc.
