Ekopel 2K Bathtub Refinishing Kit - Pour On Bathtub Paint White Gloss Finish Kit, 1 Coat Odorless Sink and Bath Tub Paint – Long Lasting Never Peel DIY Glaze for Tub, Made in USA – Bright Gloss White

I’m just going to swallow my pride and admit this: I made just about every single clumsy, amateur mistake I could have. My bathtub still looks amazing. Hopefully, you can learn from my mistakes.For DIY’ers — resurfacing the tub isn’t a simple project. The amount of prep work that goes into this is no joke. I probably spent 3 hours cleaning the tub, sanding it down, removing caulk, and removing drains and fixtures. My tub was ~40 years old, so the tub drain was pretty stubborn to get off. Three trips to Home Depot and $80 later, I got that corroded old tub drain out. I ended up having to buy a $20 tub drain remover tool. I only bring this up because I had a few surprise expenses that, had I known about before hand, I would have gladly paid a professional to deal with.I got a great arm workout stirring the heavy material in the bucket. I may have broken a sweat even. The product poured on nicely and evenly, and with some coaxing with the foam roller I managed to get an even coat. I did exactly what the videos taught me; around the edges, then the center, then the outside. Over pour, let the product drip, and collect the extra material. At this point, I feel like a true professional. No sticky goo anywhere but in the tub and I’m watching the stuff level out. Proud of my accomplishments (and thirsty), I decide to grab a beer and use the beer bottle as a dam to prevent goo from dripping into the drain (mistake #1).Two hours later, I came back to remove any goo from the drain that may have collected there. Not wearing gloves (mistake #2), I decided to brace myself on the top wall of the tub (mistake #3) and bend over to pull up the damn. Immediately after putting my hand in a pile of white sticky goo I realized what I’d done, and furiously scrubbed my hands with soap. Did I mention this stuff is thick and sticky? Soap wasn’t making any progress — I decided I needed to resort to chemicals, so I went to the closet to find some Goo Gone (leaving a trail of white goo on the handles — mistake #4). After I cleaned myself up, I was able to use the roller to apply some more solution and the spot ended up evening out ok.After I collected myself, I returned to remove the dam around the drain. The solution had started to thicken up quite a bit and it was tough to pull the bottle up. I gently twisted and pulled and removed the beer bottle. In doing so, I managed to pull up my taped off drain cover (mistake #5). The goo was stuck to the bottom of the bottle, and in an effort to keep it out of my drain, I pulled the bottle while twisting and turning it, trying to control the dripping of goo. This caused the last few drops of beer to land in the direct center of the tub (mistake #6).With 2 problems before me, having visions of explaining my embarrassing predicament to a plumber, I decide to focus on the white goo spilling into my drain first. I sprayed Goo Gone on a paper towel and tried to get any of the goo off the threads of the drain first. I eventually got most of it out and setup a walled dam using more painters tape. By the time I got to the drops in the middle of the tub, I few had sank in but I was able to wipe most of them down with a wet paper towel. It wasn’t until the next day did I realize I had made mistake #7 — please double check your paper towels are free of dog hair before doing this.After ~20 hours, the solution had dried and hardened quite a bit. There’s only a few small artifacts of my Three Stooges-esque handyman work. Regardless, the tub looks night and day better than it did. I was able to use an abrasive pad and remove any hair that found its way into the tub.In short:- I found the videos very easy to follow.- I think the product is very high quality- The product is impossibly sticky; I would have really appreciated a video on “how to clean this stuff off”- My bathtub looks AMAZING despite all of the “happy little accidents”- Don’t drink and resurface your bathtub.

I am SO impressed with this product! I had a hideous gold fiberglass tub and surround that wasn’t in the budget to replace. The roll on product was very easy to use and gives an incredible result, but I will give you a few tips:1. Prep is everything! Fortunately we were completely redoing this bathroom so I didn’t have to worry about the product getting on the floor, but you’re going to want to make sure to cover the entire floor and anything close to the tub (sink, toilet). And scrub/sand better than you’ve ever done in your life!2. THIN COATS! Roll this stuff as thin as you possibly can to avoid runs and make sure you have enough product to cover the entire area.3. High-quality foam rollers are essential. I did the first coat with some crappy rollers that ended up getting bits of foam in the finish. I was kind of freaking out, but that leads me to my next tip:2. This product is surprisingly forgiving! thought I had gotten every trace of silicone off, but after the first coat I noticed there were some areas where it wasn’t taking, in addition to the bits of foam. Don’t fear! You can gently sand between coats on any rough spots, and the second coat will cover beautifully.During the rest of the bathroom reno we ended up accidentally dropping things (screwdrivers, levels) on the tub, and not a scratch in sight! I seriously can’t believe how well this stuff works.

There's no odor which is awesome, another brand I used years ago stunk up the house for 4 days. This looks vibrant and thick, gloss white with a shine. I have 2 tips, make sure to cover the drain well and maybe even add a cup over the top of it cause this stuff is sneaky runny, you leave and come back and it's pooled around the drain. I learned the hard way and had to keep scooping it out around the drain cover. If I could do it again I wouldn't dump the whole bucket of epoxy in, it's too much and you have to scoop out the excess with a large spoon. I'd go at it lighter, but hopefully being as thick as I laid it it will last.

The mixture is not as advertised. Maybe I got some old defective stock. I ordered the pour on so it would look better. I didn’t want the look of orange peel from a foam roller. After receiving the product it sat in my house for several days while I did the prep. I paint vehicles so am very familiar with preparation of the surface. I sanded the entire tub with electric sander first. Then wet sanded by hand with several different grit. Used the recommend toilet bowl cleaner. Used acetone to remove any oils left from my hands. Used a tack cloth just before using material for any dust or hair. The prep was perfect. Room temp was perfect. I opened the first container. There was a lot stuck to the bottom of the lid. That should have been my first sign. I did not receive the package upside down and didn’t store it here for several days upside down. I scraped all the material from the lid and went ahead and mixed the 2 parts. It was very hard to mix by hand. Like a very thick glue. When it was time for application I poured like all the videos show. Mine did not pour like in the videos. It didn’t run like in the videos. I had to use the roller to move it all around. I scooped up what I could but this product is BAD. I paid for pour on but received a thick glue that could hardly roll on. My tub is ruined. I did this while my wife is out of town. She’ll be coming home to this garbage and I have to figure out how to fix it.
