Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. There are so many helpful reviews already on this so I will try to keep it short. I have a fiberglass tub with porcelain tile surround. The tub and tiles were in very good shape considering they were installed in 1974. I was more than enthused to get rid of the 1974 yellow, though! Honestly, I followed the instructions, but I wouldn't say I did to a 'T'. I did some of the cleaning out of order, ran out of lime away so crossed my fingers and used other products like comet, rubbing alcohol and bleach. I didn't sand into oblivion until the glean was gone either. Just used the recommended grit and went over the entire surface twice. That being said, I was sort of expecting to see some issues right off the bat, but I did not. The epoxy went on smoothly for the first two coats. There were a lot of tiny bubbles but that didn't bother me. Most went away after it dried just as the instructions said they would. I had to wait a few days to do the third coat because I ran out of paint and all our local stores didn't carry the product. If I end up having any issues it will be because of that. I noticed a small patch on the bottom of the tub of what others have described that looks like bigger bubbles that have sort of risen up and may peel later. We will wait and see on that since it is such a small section. Regarding the fumes. I was very nervous about this due to what others have posted so I made sure I had a good respirator. I put the respirator on a few minutes before I opened the paint and I kid you not, I didn't smell a thing the entire time. My eyes watered a bit but only when I had the paint tray right next to my face. I kept my pets outside and had every window open and every fan on in the house. After I was finished I closed the door to the bathroom, left the vent fan and floor fan on and sealed with a towel underneath the crack of the door. After about an hour the fumes had dissipated from the rest of the house and I had no problem sleeping or being disturbed otherwise. If you ventilate well, and have a respirator, I don't see why the fumes have to be such an issue. I am overall pleased with the results and am crossing my fingers that after a few days of curing, the majority of the finish will be smooth. Regardless, it is a huge improvement. Really brightened up an otherwise dark space. Good luck to all you other DIYers out there!
