Absolutely not. These polyester resins are not formulated for use in chlorinated water or for resistance to ground water. In addition, boat resins and gel coat are not designed for freezing temperatures and are not able to withstand severe climatic changes. Fibre-Shelkote products for Pool Restoration are based on the finest quality vinyl ester resins and gel coat, which assures both strength, elasticity, and chlorinated water resistance.
