Doesn't work
Three weeks post install and it is yellowing and wrinkling in areas where you stand. After all the prep and effort I'm gonna have to replace the tub.

Not for beginners
First review -24 hours after painting my tub.The instructions were to clean, then sand the surface then clean again and finally dry which takes a long time. This is my only bathroom so my advice is to perform the harsh cleaning a day before and do a final light cleaning before applying the product.When applying the product, buy two new cheap brushes since you will need to throw it away after it each use. It is impossible to clean the brushes effectively. Using a roller will make the surface bubble.Also, spend a lot of time practicing the application on something disposable. It becomes sticky real quick. Have extra everything nearby because once you start you will not have time to get up and get anything from another room. Be sure to have a lot of ventilation. This has a strong odor.As of this review, it’s been 24 hours of curing and the odor has dissipated. The surface is less sticky and shiny but it is still clearly soft. I was easily able to pick off a price of lint stick from my poor application attempts. Hoping it will harden with another 24 hours of curing.Updated review - after 48 hoursEpoxy is fully cured, according to instructions. There are visible bumps and flaws in the paint from my amateur attempt. After doing some research, I saw that sanding epoxy is a common practice so I took a 200 grit sanding block to the flaws. It worked! I managed to smooth out most of the small flaws from bubbles to blotches. I'm letting the epoxy sit for another 24 hours before using the tub.

Worked good.
I used the epoxy on our ugly bathroom sink. It worked great. I put on the recommended 2 layers and will probably need a third only because I did it before we had electricity in the home, so I missed a few little spots on my second round. It seems to be tough and will last. It was also very easy to do. I was a little intimidated by the instructions but after reading them over and jumping in it wasn't that difficult.

Make sure your surface thoroughly clean and sanded.
Our blue shower ended up needing 3 coats, but the results were great! Hopefully this will hold up well. The prep work alone will take at least half a day. We cleaned with bleach first, rinsed then dryed, then Comet and steel wool, rinsed and dried, then Lime Away twice with steel wool, rinsed and dried, then don't touch for 90 minutes. Then we sanded down the whole shower, and used tack cloth to clean up dust. And rolling on the epoxy takes a whole another day. Start early because you have to wait 3 hours at the least, but no more than 6 in between each coat. It is thin like water, so put a very thin coat on for your first coat and watch for runs. I believe you have to wait 3 days before you can use the shower.

Just applied it today
I will update this review after a few weeks to let you know the durability, so this will cover just the application part for now. First thing: this thing has VERY strong fumes holy cow. Wear a mask. The fumes were so strong I ended up just hurrying as fast as possible so I could get out of there. Second: the product is super runny and dries quick, so you have to work very fast. Third: I didn't go crazy with the cleaning and sanding: I did some coarse sandpaper, rinsed, did some comet, rinsed, and got to work once dried after a couple of days. There are a couple areas where there was some kind of who knows what that prevented the product from adhering properly (see my picture, which was right after the first coat on the bottom tiles fo this shower stall--you can see some dark spots). But otherwise it has covered even big defects quite well. I kinda love the new look, super glossy. Anyway, you need to put on at least two, if not three coats to get adequate coverage. I am on coat three as we speak and there are still a few trouble spots but I am going to let it be and might touch up later. Oh yeah, you probably want to tape over your metal drain cover, and not paint over it like I did. I am just friggin lazy and those fumes were killing me lol.

What They DON'T Tell You Before You Buy...
It is advertised and described as a coating for tubs and sinks. Not completely true. I was going to refinish a kitchen sink. Nowhere is this critical information printed on the box, disclosed in the sales description: DO NOT USE ON SURFACES THAT WILL BE EXPOSED TO FIRE OR HIGH TEMPERATURES, KITCHEN SINKS, FOOD PREP SURFACES, FLOORS, FLOOR TILE, INTERIORS OF TOILETS, OR IN PLACES CONTINUOUSLY SUBMERGED IN WATER. IT IS ALSO NOT SUITABLE FOR HOT TUBS OR FOR APPLICATIONS WITH STAINLESS STEEL. DO NOT APPLY TO STONE OR CONCRETE OR ANY OTHER AGGREGATE SURFACE.

Follow the directions to a T and a beautiful tub you should have
Remodeled my old ugly blue tub. Follow the directions to a T and a beautiful tub you should have! The more you clean and sand, the better the outcome. Paint thinner is key for oopsies and hand cleaning afterward.

while this product works better than using spray cans
while this product works better than using spray cans, it certainly isn't as easy as it looks from the instructions. The preparation takes a lot of detailed attention, and the application takes a lot of detailed attention to make sure there are no runs or drips. Also, it took two full cans of the product to properly cover the entire surface of a tall fiberglass one piece tub/shower.

Worked well. Follow the instruction and take your time ...
Worked well. Follow the instruction and take your time. I used a brush and wish I used a small foam roller. Other than that, it worked.

Spots
I purchased this to do an inexpensive tub upgrade. I would NOT recommend this! I cleaned and sanded and used steel wool 4x's. After the first coat, I noticed two spots that the epoxy did not adhere to. I applied 3 coats. I did this on a Friday night. Called them on Monday to learn how to fix the problem... There is nothing that can be done other than peeling and sanding the epoxy off and starting all over! WHAAT??? Looks like now I will purchase a new tub! The fumes from this product are VERY toxic and linger for a long long time! What I thought would be a good solution, wasted my time and exposed me to high levels of toxicity! Costs more to replace, but that is the way to go!

Never dries
It never dries. It's been weeks and it still isn't fully hard. If I set something on it, it leaves a permanent indentation, not just heavy objects, but light objects like a soap dispenser or toothbrush holder. You can scratch it with a fingernail or leave a permanent fingerprint. Nevermind the inadequate coverage, even after 3 coats.

Very hard to use
It never dries? Yet it dries way too fast to be flaw free. My husband is a painter and struggled a lot to paint this onto our guest bathroom vanity. So much so that we opted to just buy a new vanity top.

It looks nice but it hasn’t held up well
It could be my inexperience but I found this product hard to use. If you put to much on it stays soft and things in the sink leave marks. It’s very orderous and takes a while to dry. It looks nice but it hasn’t held up well.
