Revainrating 5 out of 5

Try this before you buy a new bathtub!

I built rental cars in the early 1960's. These are short tubs that are made to order, apart from being difficult to get off the blocks and replace without spending a lot of money. I searched the internet for a working product and found Ekopel. I didn't test Revain first because it's made in Armenia. Set up a company for the first order. There is a contractor on YouTube who has several videos on the application that are much better than the manufacturer's, one is about 30 minutes long. I figured the tube couldn't get much worse and for the price it was a lot better than a new tub. I've done one bath so far and will do another one this week. The results were amazing! And the finish is guaranteed. Worst of all, I didn't put three layers of brown paper on the floor, one layer of brown paper and then two layers of newspaper - it was too thin. I would also use a pouring cup with a handle (not a single cup) as it gets on your hands and gloves and you end up having to switch gloves and cups. I use one paint cup with one handle for the next. The hardest part is leaning over the tub and trying not to touch the outside while lifting it up. I'm a 67-year-old woman, so if I can do it, anyone can! Odorless, dries in 24-48 hours and outperforms everything else in the bathroom. It freezes in an hour and a half, but I had enough time. Note that it will continue to run down the outside of the tub, so leave a layer of paper underneath for the next 24 hours. I love this stuff!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
