I finally did it, and was a lot easier than I expected. If you follow the directions, no shortcuts, you should get great results! Hand stir, no mixer. Why? When you use the drill mixer, you aerate the product. Surface preparation is the key. You’ve got to use the cleaner he suggests. I used hydrochloric acid. I wish I knew how to attach a pix of my shower! My shower wasn’t level, I used it to create a level setting, since it flows with gravity. Doing this, I let it dry for 4 days, because it was thick on one side. I will use the product again.

I’ll start by saying that I was extremely excited to try your product. We are doing a complete high end bathroom renovation and my wife convinced me to try and resurface our existing tub. We replaced everything down to the studs except for bath tub. My wife had an emotional attachment because she gave birth to our youngest in the tub. This was 18 years ago. I know… I wanted to toss it and replace it. BUT being the good guy I am I promised to do everything possible to resurrect it. I researched and researched and found your product. Read lots of reviews and watched all of the instructional videos. So me and the wife rolled up the sleeves and away we went. We were excited at first but as I stirred the product together I noticed it seemed much thicker than the product in the videos. We stirred fir 10 minutes, let sit to activate for another 10 and then stirred for 1. The product was so thick that it didn’t run well. It also seemed like there wasn’t enough. The result were noticeable thin areas in the tub and didn’t have enough for the front. So we tried to roll on as much as we could and it resulted in runs along the front with very thin areas. We worked within the 60 minutes and timed everything. Against my better judgment we now ordered another batch from Amazon to arrive tomorrow. I’m hoping that a second layer will clean up the imperfections. So another $200 + tax spent on this old tub. I noticed the product I just ordered looks slightly different than the first product I received from Amazon. I think I received an older variation of the product. Is it possible that it was passed an expiration date? Anyhow wish me luck. If the second batch covers the imperfections from the first run I’ll recommend your product. However, if this doesn’t do it I’ll repost and let everyone know. Including tax I’m now $450 invested in this old tub. Wish me luck. I really want this product to work for my wife. For those looking to order this product from Amazon… make sure you get the newest variation of the product. I have a feeling I got a bad/expired batch.

Ok I think I figured out what went wrong. I looked at the box my product came in which says for shower pan . ???? So I went back on Amazon and looked at my order history. The seller was refinished bath solutions but fulfilled my Amazon. The product I ordered says Ekopel 2K Bathtub Refinishing Kit. To make things even more strange if I select “Buy it Again” on my Amazon Account History it takes me to a kit that says “Ekopel 2K Sink Teginushing Kit”. I have no idea how it advertised “Bathtub Kit”, I received a “Shower Pan Kit”, and reordering shows it as a “Sink Refunushing Kit”. I’m assuming that a bathtub requires more product than a sink. Is it exactly the product makeup?? I really hope this didn’t mess up the finish on the tub. I thought I had made an error or received faulty product. As it turns out I received the wrong item. I guess that is why the new bathtub kit I ordered tonight looks different. I’m calling Amazon tomorrow. If someone from refinished bath solutions sees this post in the next 12 hours please let me know if this has messed up my tub and if putting the correct product overtop of it will fix the problem. Im upset with Amazon fulfillment. I shouldn’t being paying for getting shipped the wrong item. I’m guessing this is why there wasn’t enough coverage for my entire tub? A lesson to those ordering from Amazon. Make sure you received the correct kit before applying it.

Ok one last follow up and review, I resolved my issue with Amazon. They offered a refund but the damage was already done. Due to me overworking the product the first time around and trying to make half the volume cover an entire tub caused my problem. So there are blemishes that could have otherwise been avoided. For a final review. The product is a good product. It does what it says it will do if you follow the instructions. Our exterior tub bed is curved. Not flat, with lots of ridges. This caused an issue because the product dripped off of high points/ridges and didn’t flow down the entire surface. This caused a lot of dripping and I would have to go back over too many times past its working time. So I wasn’t happy with the exterior finish on my tub. The exterior of our tub wasn’t bad before I began. Had I known this to be an issue ahead of time, I would have taped off the paper at the first top ridge. But the colour may not have matched either. So just be aware if your tub face isn’t completely flat. The rest of the tub finished up great. One thing I’d suggest.., I covered the floor vent next to our tub because any extra air movement would blow dust or any non-visible hair onto the surface.

So it came out good! But you can tell an amateur did it because I have some ripples only on the outside. I also have some pooling because the roller that came with it, (I didn’t follow your advice to make sure it worked first, which it did but not when I was using it on the ekopel) so I suggest the old method, a lot easier to move product around with a flat edge. All in all I wish I had this guy here to do it for me since he makes it look so easy.... but since I don’t, my okayish results will have to do... better than before that’s for sure

36 hours is gonna be tough can I put a small heater in the bathroom to speed the process? The tubs been done before and it looks like ....well the best way to describe it is like the beginning of an avalanche where a huge slab slips down a mountain. The epoxy looks like that . Like a fissure a long "crack" in the finish then the slide. I'm assuming that's from lack of prep but my two boys stomp through the house it's a 100 yr old farm cracker style house . With them bouncing through the house like that could that be an issue? I'm not talking Richter scale bumps but kids ya know? Thanks for any input you can offer

No, Unforchunetly once the Part B (the hardner) is mixed in then you only have about an hour to work with it. After that is becomes too difficult to work with. If you were to go back to the can the next day it would be like cement and there is no way to resoft and reuse.

Our ceramic soap dish is in the wall a few inches above the tub edge surface and constantly drips soapy water on the tub when we shower. I cleaned the tub well before I applied the product but the finish started to peel where it runs down the side of the tub after the first couple of years.

You should sand first, you will want it to be smooth to the touch then deep clean and etch with Lysol Power or any toilet bowl cleaner that has hydrochloric acid in it.

Have you determined whether it is on top of the surface or is the surface? Could it be rust from your water? Maybe it would come off with CLR, for example? I’m still considering Ekopel.

@@tennnis498 In fact it was a (Lysol) disinfectant spray I had used for a couple months. It coated the surface.. and then slowly streamed toward the drain when wet from use of the shower. But a residue would build up on the floor of the tub, in a streaming fashion. I eventually figured it out and began to only used bleach based cleaner.. then over several cleanings.. it was gone.

Be careful about removing the drain cover after 5 to 6 hours. I did this, and the bit that flowed into the drain clogged it at some point out of sight. Over the last few days I've been alternating letting acetone and boiling water sit, and praying.

My cup came up, I had hard time keeping it from drain, so I let it cover my drain too. But, I did a stand up shower, and the plumbing under my house is easily accessible. It didn’t stop up, but I know it’s larger than a regular tub.

Do you have to remove the caulk around the tub first then apply this? Also, I read you mentioned on a comment every hour after removing tape scoop out paint?
@RefinishedBathSolutions

yes remove the caulk peel up what you can of the old finish and sand the rest smooth to the touch. Then give it a eep clean and etch with Lysol Power or any toilet bowl cleaner. you will want to remove the tape dam after 1 and scoop excess hourly really baby sit it then remove the rest at 4-5 hours.

Hey I just did my clawfoot tub and it turn out great except for one spot on the back rim of tub. It was a bit thick I guess even though I rolled it. It looks a bit smudged and wont cure. It's been 3 days and that spot wont cure. What do I do?

I would recommend peeling up what you can of the old finish then sand the rest smooth to the touch with 400 grit sandpaper. Even the smooth areas give a quick ruff up then use Lysol Power or any toilet bowl cleaner that has hydrochloric acid in it this etches the surface.
