A-Tops Skimm Coat Repair & Restore
A-Tops Skimm Coat was the brainchild of Jerry Austin, the owner of J.P. Austin/A-Tops vermiculite company, and introduced to our customers in 2020. After thirty years attending trade shows and hearing the same complaints about vinyl liner pool renovations and the need for a product that could be applied as thin as 1/8th of an inch for spot jobs or thicker application for whole pool restorations, Jerry spent five years assembling a group including inground pool professionals, vinyl liner replacement specialists, and industry consultants to formulate a product that could be easily skimmed down for spot applications as well as whole bottom restorations.
Skimm Coat has been met with very positive feedback and increasing demand from installers.
Formulated for the Replacement Liner Specialist • Good for Resurfacing Entire Pool Bottom or Spot Patching • No More Watering Down V-lite Mix to Thin it out.
