UGlassIt Resurfacing Specialists Land on the Shores of Cuba 8-3-09 Assignment: Refinish 15 Year Old Fiberglass Laminate on Marine Hill Swimming Pool at Guantanamo Bay After receiving clearance by the U.S. Department of State, Bill Nash, CEO of UGlassIt, and a crew of outstanding fiberglass pool resurfacing specialists managed by Rollie Robinson, arrived at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Marine Hill Pool is one of three swimming pools available to the U.S. armed forces stationed at Guantanamo Bay. The pool is enormous and well-cared-for by the authorized military contractor. But no matter how well cared-for fiberglass may be, eventually the finish coat known as "swimming pool gel coat" must be removed, and then replaced with exactly the same finish. Commercial pools should have the gel coat replaced every 8-12 years depending upon usage and proper care. Only swimming pool gel coat, which is non-porous, can protect the fiberglass and resin from the onslaught of chemically treated water. In 2002, UGlassIt supplied the vinyl ester resin, swimming pool gel coat, resin based pool putty, and solvent, to create a new 7-layer laminate on one of the three pools. This laminate was installed by one of the military contractors using our book, Pool Resurfacing Made Easy. The book combined with contineous telephone assistance by the author, Bill Nash, enabled the contractor, with no fiberglass experience whatsoever, to install a perfectly formed 7-layer laminate on both the diving pool and a nearby kiddie pool. During the stay at Gitmo, both Mr. Nash and Mr. Robinson inspected the Officer's Family pool and the kiddie pool resurfaced from scratch in 2002, and found them to be in excellent condition.   The following are photos taken by Mr. Robinson as the work progressed on the Marine Hill Pool in August, 2009 ® Pool Resurfacing, Inc. 332 Bustleton Pike Feasterville, PA 19053 Toll Free: 800-676-8528 HABLAMOS ESPAÑOL Fiberglass resurfacing products for gunite, plaster, and concrete swimming pools plus gel coat paint and vinyl ester resin for fiberglass swimming pools now available in the US, Mexico, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, British West Indies, and the Caribbean!
