Is it possible to paint over this pond shield coating?

I really do not like the the natural concrete is covered, I like the raw concrete

your pond shield is total rubbish.. I have a few points first of all when I asked for some to finish a small job you could have sent me some as good will. Instead I had to spend more bloody money on this stuff. I asked you if Art none toxic resin could do the job and your response was a joke...1st point its inconsistent it sets very past in a small tub or one of the tins supplied and yet takes hours to set when applied onto a planter box. ( box made of plywood) I ruined a total full load because the tin had gone rock solid tin was red hot. 2nd point after having bought another pack. I thought maybe I had a bad batch... So bought my 3rd pack. I applied it again to cover an area that was soft and gooey it never dried as such the coating had to be ripped up. I started again on that area after sanding it down which was a job in itself . Applied another coat 50% part A and part B. The coating after 1 hour was still not dry.. In the mean time I made another batch this being batch 2.. batch 1 was still not dried. Left batch 2 to sit in a plastic mixing container for about 5 minutes. I came back checked batch 1 on the wood still wet batch 2 was rock hard total solid what the hell is going on this stuff is inconsistent Ive spend £150 on this stuff its useless and a waste of time I would be better off using fibreglass resin instead... I am not happy and your attitude when I asked for some advise on if art resin could be used as an alternative was very rude. regards.

Tank cover

Apologies if you've already mentioned this. How did you adhere the paper along the top edge of the bath (to create a straight edge for the epoxy)? Thank you for your help.

I have a fountain that has a terra cotta look but the finish is wearing off. It is made of concrete mixture. The epoxy finishes look so shiny. how can I make it look more like clay??

Can you color the epoxy to make it match the grey better?

All good to use a 60 grit sanding sponge?

Hi. Why is it 2:1 ratio of Part A to Part B? What are we to do with the excess Part B? Or is the tin containing Part B just half empty/filled?

Just the video I needed to see. Thank you.

Thank you for the video, I'm looking forward to getting started on my project. I see that you use 60 grit in the beginning; do you use a different grade of sandpaper for scuffing up after coat #1? Thanks!

Hi I'm looking to dig a fresh pond can I roll this directly on the dirt?

would this product be appropriate for a metal bird bath?

need your help if possible I have created a filter box using your pond shield got a pack sent to me in the uk a grey color . But need to touch up a few areas with about 200mls at most any chance a and b art packs epoxy would do the job they say none toxic. Cant afford a another pack as its expensive to get it posted to the uk. ill be uploading a video on the project soon.

Im gonna get wasted and thin my pond shield

Will this work for Ceramic statues, that has a bucket where water is pouring into it? I use everything to try to stop it from leaking. I waterproof Gorillas seal and Flex seal waterproofing. But it still leaks

I have a 8’ diameter stock tank pool. Over three years it has rusted and I would like to try this product to save my pool. I have been sanding for days (ugh). I am not able to remove ALL of the rust. Can I apply the primer and then epoxy without that rust coming back to haunt me?

I'm super interested in your product to seal off the insides of a few concrete planters that I just got to use as a protective barrier for my carnivorous plant bogs (CPs are very sensitive to leaching of minerals and such from concrete, terracotta, etc. type planters thus the need for that protective layer). Just out of curiosity... why didn't you use clear on this bird bath so you can still see the aged concrete? I personally think that would have looked better, but regardless... Pond Armor looks like a great product that won't harm my plants! Thanks for making it available!! 😃

whats your thoughts of epoxy vs fibreglass ???

a nice project would be a nice long wood planter to be used as a pond filter

After applying all the epoxy ..just an idea..paint it like blue or green or whatever color you want..would look more appealing I believe. Just my opinion.

Also I was helpful to hear that I need to wait one hour between coats.

Thank you so much for the extra instructions and specifying that I need the 60 grit flap disc and the self etching primer!

Hello I am interested in the product but what is the work time of the product and how long do I have to wait to apply a second coat.

Hello! I just purchased the clear pond shield for a large clay planter pot that I am turning into a water garden. I have a couple questions... I used 100% silicone to plug the drainage hole, will the pond shield have a negative reaction if applied to the silicone? If so, what do you recommend using to plug the hole? and my other question is... Do i need to treat the inside of the pot before applying the pond shield? Do i need to use a concrete acid etching solution or something else? Thank you so much in advanced!

Not my cup of tea, but still a cool build. I would have built the base, not the housing around the tank. I would have also covered that whole window to show it off to the people outside. Just curious what the owner would do if that window broke. It would be a nightmare. 😭

Can you please make an little video with the "clear" transparency color? thank you!

how many gallon is it , good job

Jesus man why cover so mucb

Neat idea I want to repurpose an old tv stand into one!

What specific roller is being used? What is recommended?

covering a vent and window?

How long should you let it dry and cure before you can fill it with water?

Is there anything it WON'T adhere to?

I tried to read all the comment questions, please forgive me if my question was asked previously. Also, this is a little long as I want you to have all the details. I purchase a case of "Pond Shield Non-Toxic Epoxy Liner Clear" in the box are two small sized paint cans. My bird bath used to have a pipe that went through the center for water to fill it then flow over the sides. Years ago the center was patched up and it held water fine. 6 months ago it stopped holding water. I brought it in the garage, gave it a GOOD cleaning, used a strong patch to cover the hole and sealed it with concrete. I figured while I have it in I would fill all cracks and chips. The whole thing has been resurfaced. Then I used an acrylic paint and painted the whole bath to look like a sunflower. Now I want to use the clear pond shield to "cover the paint in the bowl so I know the birds will be safe to drink from it. My concern is the direction are telling me to either acid etch be auae its concrete or use 60 grit sandpaper because its painted. I do not want to ruin what I painted. Please inform, how to properly apply the pond shield. Thank you in advance.

Let me share my experience so far. So we got a 8’ diameter stock tank that is 2’ deep from tractor supply. And that soft gray “putty” type material was on it as well. LOTS of scraping, tons of sanding with 60 grit with palm sander and angle grinder, then on to a 45% vinegar wash down, then cleaned again with regular water, then let dry and we used 8 total cans of the sem self etching primer. We might could’ve used 9 or 10 but that’s all we ordered so we went with it. It was covered but not very thick. Oh well. So a few days later we applied the pond shield. I did not re sand after primer had dried, I hope I don’t end up regretting that decision. Anyway we mixed up 4 cups with 2 cups hardener for our first attempt. Didn’t really seem to spread very well with brush or roller. Definitely didn’t look like the even coat you got in your video. Then I broke out the squeegee. That worked awesome, except anytime you stopped moving you’d leave a built up line. So then I thought maybe I can smooth out that line with the roller. Big mistake. Maybe the epoxy had already partially set, but it started ripping the cloth nap out of my roller and depositing “hairs” into my coating. I did take care as to not use a cheap sponge roller like you shared in your instructions. All I can say is do not try to use a roller once this stuff starts to dry. It’ll rip any roller apart, even decent fairly expensive cloth nap rollers. The squeegee works great especially for the bottom of the tank. I ended up with two coats on the bottom and one thin coat on the walls before dark. I covered it to keep bugs out and will uncover it in the morning after the dew is gone. Gonna try to put another coat on the sides but I think I’d rather get kicked in the teeth than to sand anymore. This project is a lot to take on and I would work with pond shield on something a lot smaller such as a smaller tank like he’s doing before I tried a pool. Just my humble advice. Im probably gonna end up using the whole 1.5 gallon kit on this tank. Not sure if that’s correct coverage or way too much or way too little, but im gonna use it all. Might as well. I just hope tomorrows coat sticks without sanding. If it doesn’t, im prepared to call it a loss and throw my hands up. Im soooo tired. I think it’s a great product as long as you know what you are doing, but beware it’s nothing like painting. It’s definitely a whole different ball game. And don’t think you’re gonna use a brush or roller the next day or even a hour later. It’ll be solid as a rock. Have new brushes and roller replacements ready. Also don’t let the epoxy dry on the roller and then think you’ll change out the roller head later cause you won’t without trying to cut it off the roller head. You ain’t pulling it off if it’s dry, trust me😂 anyway just thought I’d share my experience/nightmare. Also if you do take on a pool, have a partner help so you can cover the tank faster before it starts to set up. Good luck!

Can someone tell me if pond shield can handle hot tub temps? Like 102-104 F? Making. A stock tank pool but also want to heat it this winter…

Not one of a kind any more 😅😂

Can y'all make a 2x2x5 stock tank bathtub video please

I found my answer in comments below. …It’s very nice of you to answer so many peoples questions. ! Most DIY posters don’t bother -Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for the demo. Can this product be tinted?

I think that it looks amazing. It is very classy and clean. 👍🏾

Hello,could you help me find the right product ? I want to make a small pond with a beach look. Do you have a colour that looks like sand ? The tan colour seems a bit dark. Or can I mix different colours? Thanks in advance :)

Royal blue very fine glitter would have looked nice...;-) Im going to try it on my small fountain. I bought a small epoxy test kit....;-) Thanks for sharing!

What about using the Pond Shield primer you sell instead of the primer in the video?
