Fantastic Video!! The bottom of my tub is wearing out a bit. Likely from my use harsh cleaners :(. I was planning on using the entire Tub cast kit. If I only need to lightly repair the bottom of my tub would this kit be better? Thank you!
Great video, I refinished our bathtub on Sunday and it turned out fantastic, until my wife leant on it 5hrs after being done, I was thinking about purchasing the small touch up Epoxy but then I saw you using a spray and I think that may be better. I am going to attempt to gently sand down and buff it out, but it looks too deep so my only course of action is to fill,sand and re-do with the foam brush, your thoughts please Also what was the product name for the spray, as I can't find it on the website.
Hello Tony, Unfortunately we no longer have our spray touch up kits. We have our original touch up kit as well as our roll on touch up kit. The original can be found on our website as well as on amazon however the roll on touch up kit is only available on amazon or if you call in we can put that in for you. If you have any other questions please give us a call 877-882-2278!
@@RefinishedBathSolutions Thank you for the quick response, after I posted this I read through the comments and saw that you no longer carry the spray so I have purchased the roll on touch up kit. Thanks again
So the ekopel bonds to itself without any adhesion polymer between older finish and new application? That's pretty rad. I guess that makes sense though if you don't need primer for this product.
Experienced a mishap on the outside front of the tub. Tried to fix but I guess I was outside of window of time to work with the product. Now I have lumps that need to be addressed. Can I sand the impacted area and use the repair kit to re-pour the specific outside front area of the tub or will it require me pouring the entire outside of the tub? Also, will your 300 or largest repair kit be sufficient?
2 questions: Do you need to prep the unsanded surface areas, as well, with anything else, like wiping the whole arrea that you will be applying the Ekopel to, with alcohol or acetone before you apply it. Like in this case, where you covered the entire bottom of the tub, even though you only repaired a small chipped area, should you wipe down the areas where it wasn't repaired, but just recoated? And how high should the temp be in the room when you do this and for how long at that temp? Thank you.
I coated the tub using the pour on. I waited 24 hours before using it. The surface felt hard and completely dry. Five days later and several cracks have appeared - inside of them is paint that’s still tacky. I followed the directions to a tee - sanded every inch, cleaned every inch, had the room the correct temp, etc. I’m not sure how to solve this problem. Can you advise? It’s mid summer and I can’t avoid showering for too many days in a row. Thanks.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the product. Cracking in the resurface typically occurs when water gets underneath the finish. Did you apply caulk after the application? Regarding the tacky paint, Ekopel can take up to 30 days to fully cure, which is likely why the inside of the material was tacky, as well as the presence of water under the resurfacing. Please feel free to email us photos at Help@ekopelusa.com or give us a call at 877-882-2278. We’re here to help and want to ensure you achieve the best results!
What can you tint the white kit with? My tub is off-white and using the 300 gram touch up kit its just to white and I want to tint the non-skid kit to try to match the off white
Can sand it how you want it with 220-320 grit sandpaper then if you don't need more material double the grit to 600 then 1500 then use any car buffing compound to bring the shine back. If after sanding you do need more material use out pour on touch up kit.
Can you do a video that repairs a popped bubble near a clawfoot tub drain? I used the Ekopel 2K in 2021 on the tub which was disconnected from the water supply and drain but somehow a bubble formed near the drain 2 years later. I popped the bubble, attempted to remove loose material and sanded it but didn’t have the repair kit to perform the repair. My tenant has been using the tub the last few weeks and now I’m ready to do the repair. I’m sure there’s more loose material I’ll need to remove and more sanding needed. I don’t plan to remove the tub from the water supply or drain this time so it’ll be a trickier repair for me.
Thanks for reply. It’s on a vertical surface & tiny chips, after bondo & sanding could I dab it with a foam brush, would that work? Is there an email address I can ask a couple other things. ?
