Tub and Shower Repair Kit - White

Great Value, Easy to use, the look and the size was easy to store its been a month since use the quality is Amazing.

I had a small chip (1/8"w x 3/16"l x 1/16" deep) in the bottom of the shower. After shopping and reading reviews this product appeared to be the best. IMO they should give more instructions for using a smaller amount. 1/2 jar is probably going to be way too much for most repairs. I used an amount equal what I could dip out with the stick. Probably about the size of the end of my little finger. I mixed in 2 drops of hardener. I applied it with a small, flat toothpick which worked very well. Pushed it into the chip and then overfilled it as directed to account for shrinking. After about an hour I checked what I had on the small piece of cardboard and it was fairly well set but still very slightly pliable.I never wanted to sand this so what I did is to take a brand-new razor blade and carefully slice off small slices off the stop until it was flush. It worked out perfectly! No sanding and re-sanding and polishing or any of that. I wanted to avoid sanding because when that is done you are taking away some of the existing gelcoat which seem counterintuitive to me. You have to be careful and hold the razor blade parallel with the surface but IMO this is the best way to do this in my particular situation.

I used this product to patch some small chips in my tub. The color matched well and it was easy enough to apply. This stuff smells very strong. So strong in fact that you can smell it through the box. Once I was done, I had to put this stuff in 2 ziploc bags, then stuff them inside an old toolbox so it didnt stink up my garage cabinet. As for the bathroom, I kept the fan on and the door open and it only took about a day for it to fully air out. Results look decent, im happy with it at least.

Purchased this based off of others reviews as I normally do. Overall, very impressed. Color did not match exactly but didn’t expect it to since there are probably over 100 varieties of what companies consider white.The chip on my tub was about the shape of a half sized quarter. Took quality painters taped and shaped the area I wanted filled. Used the Harbor Freight’s version of a dremel and sanded down the area within the tape.Directions call for a 1/16” depth. Used the alcohol wipe supplied and cleaned the area. Before mixing the epoxy, turn on the vent fan. The odor is very strong until it sets.Directions call for 1/2 oz. gel mixed with 3-5 drops hardener. I mixed only 1/4 oz with 3 drops and still had enough left over to fill the same area again.Filled the hole as smooth as I could using the stick provided. Don’t apply too thick or you’ll need extra sandpaper after it sets.Epoxy sets in 20 minutes. Once mixed, work it immediately. When happy with the fill, perfection not necessary, remove the tape and let it harden. Directions state 1-3 hours. To be safe, I let it set overnight but that was my preference. Unless you know exactly how much gel you’re using, have ideal temperature and humidity, better to wait.Sand and polish as directed. Was definitely an easy job.

The stick is great for stirring but the wrong tool for application of the gel sealer. Really should include a flexible plastic applicator with a flat 3/4"-1" straight blade on one end and a rounded 1/2" -3/4" diameter rounded edge on the other end to fit into countours. A wooden stick does not work well for application. Stick applicator left uneven edges in a corner repair area. As a result, I sanded down the gel sealer too much and the darker base material started to show through. I had to attempt a second coat this morning and when masking off the adjacent area I noted some of the first coat material was pulled up by the tape - not good adhesion for the product outside the crack I was trying to repair. The excess gel material I didn't use and which was stil on the cardboard appeared to be durable. I did use disposible latex gloves when making the second application as it is difficult to clean up the gell when it gets on your hands/under nails. I also used a gloved finger tip to spot coat a tight corner area where the applicator did not work. Recommend having some mineral spirits handy for cleanup since soap/water doesn't work if it gets on skin..I think the instructions were pretty good but they might include instructions or a video for masking off the area under repair, cleanup of any messes after application, and for using less than 1/2 jar amounts of the gel sealer.

I was very happy with the results I got from this kit. The patch was solid and sanded smooth using the included products. Understand before you start this project, this stuff STINKS! The smell is a stronger version of what you get from new fiberglass, so make sure you're venting your work area well. It cleared up pretty quickly once I removed the leftover product at the patch started to dry, but while working with it, it's strong. Great results!
