Review on ArmoGlaze Bathtub Refinishing Kit, Easy Pour-On Application, Odorless, White, Tub Epoxy-Coating - 2.7 Kg, Made In USA by Andre Parsons

I have waited to complete 50 days of testing this product before writing a review. I repaired the floor of my shower stall, a single piece acrylic unit. The floor surface area is probably only 1/3 of the surface area of a full bathtub, but I bought the full package and split the two mixing component perfectly in half, saving the other half for a boat repair job. The application was not difficult for someone accustomed to home repair. Follow all instructions exactly as laid out for the product. In my before / after photo, you can see that I had to "gut" a large section of the tub. There was a crack about 3 inches long and another crack about 1/2 inch long. When I finally decided to conduct the repair, I wasted time exploring the underside of the shower unit (it is accessible from the basement). These units are built well with a 2-3 inch base, including fiberglass mesh and strong plywood. The problem was not support, it was a thin layer separation due to poor adhesion of the finish layer on top, essentially the acrylic coating on the original shower unit had raised off the support base. As I peeled away at the crack, I found that the surface layer was 1/8th of an inch raised off the support structure, hence, a heavy step in the right location causes too much pressure and the original acrylic snapped. After gutting out all the separated acrylic surface and rounding all edges with an angle grinder and sander, I filled the entire unit with professional gold Bondo body filler according to instructions. It is important to ensure the finished, sanded surface is as smooth and level before adding the Armorglaze. If there is even a tiny ripple or a pocket, the Armorglaze product will follow the contour and the ripple or pocket or dimple will show up. I knew this and was careful, but on final inspection, I found two spots that I did not quite finish as well as I should have. However, they are so small, only I notice and they are in the corners where it as tough to access. The drain-cover process is tedious and requires a couple of hours of constant wiping and cleaning. I have worked with thin-set applications of concrete and I believe it is important to follow the instructions and make sure the finish layer you apply is 1/16 inch or less, as instructed. This thinness provides more flexibility when fully cured. Also, one issue is color. The product is pure white, my unit is off-white. However, as I was careful to do the entire bottom from a fixed line (I have a steady hand and I did this by eye, not tape) and allowed the product to drip from the cup and poor down off the wall, about one inch up from the curved side. It looks like it was made that way, almost like a two-tone finish. Honestly, with shadows and not so bright light in the shower unit, I don't think a visitor would even notice. It would be nice if the product came with a compatible yellow dye to add by drop with a color comparison chart to alter the color to various shades of off-white. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck! I will update this review if necessary.
