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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It’s a solid 2 hour project, but the end results are awesome

Used this product on an old plastic shower pan. There is a smaller kit, but I got this one as my shower is "full sized” and I didn’t want to fear I’d run out of epoxy during the application process. I pretty much used 75% of the kit for this project. There was a ton of prep work ahead of this to remove old caulking and wash any chemicals or dirt from the pan. We washed and scrubbed and scrubbed and washed probably 4 or 5 times after we were 100% sure any old caulking was gone. Final cleaning was with a rubbing alcohol.After taping off the walls and drain, I put a couple of layers of plastic on the bathroom floor so that I could remove a layer periodically to keep the working area clean. Think I read this in someone else’s review. This didn’t work so well, it was such a mess, I wasn’t about to try removing a a layer of covering in the middle of the project. When you are ready to apply, be ready to be on your knees for 2 solid hours.Application was exactly as seen in the videos online. After 7 minutes of slow mixing the chemicals, Just put some epoxy in a red solo cup and pour it out on the edges letting it run down to the bottom of the pan. The kit came with some brushes and a yellow squeegee. I literally only used the yellow squeegee. I tried the brush once which put lines in the epoxy, so tossed it aside to use the squeegee. Way more efficient. Probably took me 25 minutes to finish the application.The remaining hour and a half was spent hunched over the drain scrapping out the excess that flowed. I used the yellow squeegee, but it probably would have been easier with a smaller or curved device. Maybe even a large spoon. Just take it slow and scoop it out. Over time the chemicals thicken and the paint you scoop out comes less and less.Once I was done, I left the tape in the drain and on the edges of the floor overnight while everything dried. This made it a bit difficult to remove the tape the next day. Probably should have taken it off when it was still "moist” but not still flowing. Anyway, I cut it with a razor blade carefully and it was fine. The final product is about 1/16” or more thick. This was at our vacation home, so we left the next day. The epoxy cured for 2 weeks before we returned and stepped on it. Visually it looks awesome. In an up close inspection there are a few minor flaws, but nothing that would stand out if you weren’t aware. My wife and I are very happy with the outcome. Spending the money on this was a 100 times cheaper than replacing the pan by a professional. Time will tell how it holds up, but for us, it’s not used daily so should be good for years to come.Oh one other thing to add, because the shower pan is plastic, there was no need to use the etching chemical. I called the company and spoke with the owner who said that is only needed for application on a metal tub. For a plastic pan, you can apply the epoxy directly after doing the appropriate prep work.
