The contractor Atlantic Industrial Coatings, admitted that both the design and execution of the renovation were flawed.Workers didn't spray enough primer to bond the liner's layers.In addition, the two chemicals the contractor combined for the liner were incompatible. The top layer got so hot that the material underneath couldn't handle the heat, causing it to blister and peel away.https://www.axios.com/2026/09/11/trump-reflecting-pool-contractor-repairs
We are on schedule to celebrate America's 250th birthday
When is Trump publishing the evidence of vandalism? Hours of CCTV apparently.

>war is meant to drive technological leaps out of necessity and survival>Iran war will end with a breackthrough in fountains and pool technology instead
>>542459903>put dark colored material under the sun>gets hotMan they really got lucky with that contract. They knew it was going to fail and any remediation will too. Hilarious.
>>542459903>They also continued to blame vandals for some of the damage to the pool, saying that "the major vandalism of long razor-blade gashes"No really, they saw them, there were like entire teams of vandals working in shifts. It was vandalism plain and simple. Major, super duper vandalism of the highest degree that vandalism can be taken to.
>>542462150>Be the penguin>Fail at building a poolWhat did Trump's hand picked contractor (pic related) mean by this?
what is the issue with the ball room?
>>542462150You do understand that it is under water?
>>542462527You say this as if it is difficult to believe.
>>542460047They medalist they arrested got released without charges, and he's currently counter suing.
>>542459903So is the contractor going to return all or part of the $15 million this cost the American taxpayer? Or is he just going to say "whoops" and give Trump a wink and a nod?
>>542464252This guy? >>542464017Sure, any day now, voluntarily
>>542459903This is not how polyurethane sprays work at all. It has nothing to do with heat. Most of these coatings are rated to hundreds of degrees because they are used for industrial roofing applications where you can’t feasibly remove the existing roof. There was moisture underneath and the primer didn’t cure correctly, or they sprayed to early. Maybe a little bit of unreacted methylenediphenol diisocyanate. Also how is the fucking coating contractor not reading the SDS before you spray 20,000 SQ of coating on probably the highest profile project in the nation?
>>542460136>2 weeks away, trust the plan
