Ekopel Bathtub Refinishing Kit - Made in The USA - Odorless Tub and Tile Reglazing - Most Durable Never Peel Tub Paint Coating - Pour On Touch Up Size

Great product, no Odie Yeah! This size is adequate enough to cover the complete bottom of a standard sized tub, this is where there was significant wear after 28 years of use. Very happy with this product This size is a repair kit, small size and does not come with the tools that come with the larger size. I used credit card sized stuff cardboard to distribute evenly, also used a fine 3" paintbrush fir the finishing detail. Be careful though, the brush shed one bristle/hair, it was a nightmare to remove. If you use a brush I recommend you have a pair of tweezers close by.

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.

So when applying make sure to remove any tape you have along any edges. I let mine dry and it chipped away at the edges when getting tape off because the stuff adhered to the tape but the tape didnt adhere to the sides of the tile so it chipped. But if you sand the stuff down to make smooth then repour this kit it is exact same stuff as in any other big kit. You get a can of the stuff with activator. Just make sure also not to mess with it around 5 mins after you pour it or it wont flow out and self level.. but is a great coating, thick shell and will last a while if you dont make it too thin..

The finished product looked like crap. My husband is jack of all trades and a master electrician. He has built homes from the grou.d up. Funny, not so much that this product worked out horribly. There is all drip marks and dimpling, the coverage is poor. I wash my hair with blue shampoo and the stains won't come out. Thus product shouldn't even be sold. There is nothing about it that is good or durable. I put a bath mat in 4 days later and now there is all raised circles at the bottom of the tub. Product is horrible. Please leave this to a professional, not this outright crap! Don't make the same mistake we did. Weeks later the paint scratched through like nail polish does. Don't do it!!!

I used this on a pedestal sink that was stained inside the bowl. The bowl had also lost all of it's gloss. I followed instructions to the letter--which I highly recommend. You can't go wrong if you just follow the instructions without deviating. The stains easily covered in 2 coats and the gloss shine was returned to the inside of the bowl. It's a very high gloss. What I wasn't expecting was the orange peel effect--which you can see on the close-up picture. I thought I must have received a bad batch or had an inaccurate thermostat because I followed everything exactly. What I later found on the Ekopel site: "Roll-On Ekopel is just as durable, glossy, and shiny with a little more orange peel look to it". I don't know how I missed this after reading so much about the product. Essentially I traded one issue for another. It is very obvious this is a home-done job as soon as you get close to the sink. One good thing is the effect is on all parts of the sink, not just in certain areas. At least its cohesive. If I'd known about the orange peel, I would have skipped it and just lived with the stains until we replaced the sink. Everything else was exactly as expected. From a distance it looks amazing.

Recommend a high quality foam or bristle brush. We found it difficult to avoid tiny bubbles, even using a high density foam 2-inch roller. Had to sand down a bit to minimize the uneven appearance caused by the bubbles. Ultimately, very pleased with final sppearance of the repair. If you only have a small area to to work on, this is the same as the larger size pour-on of this product. Definitely the way to go since you cannot save unused mixture for later use. The company rep on the phone was extremely helpful! She assured us that, although this is a pour-on product, it can be painted on for a tub repair. Thanks!

Works great, good for fixing a peeling area from a prior coating. I sanded with 80 grit first, better adhesion to a slightly rough surface. I used 3 coats. A trick to get multiple coats out of 1 batch (not official or planned, but it worked): freeze it after mixing, then thaw and little and refreeze. This slows the epoxy reaction so it can be used for later coats. Ideally you only mix what you need, but freezing is a backup plan.
