Thank you for your attention to detail. This video was one many of us were hoping for and it personally gives me more confidence that I will be able to get it right when I am ready to do this. I prefer your product because of the no/low fumes and it looks like it actually works, unlike some others. On a funny note, I think one of the Chateaux refurb channels in France used it to redo a vintage bathtub and it worked really good, except for a few mistakes made by the person applying it but fortunately he realized and was able to easily fix the problems and the tub came out looking really good.

This is expertly done. Great method to keeping the excess pooling cleared. Inportant step in the entire process not to be forgoten. Thanks for this and i watched entire video. Thumbs Up! and Smashed the Like Button #836

@willbraun620 2 года назад

How about showing how you actually wipe the drain without you in the way? Trying to see how much you wipe each time.

@Z-Ack 2 года назад

Like a leaky butthole.. gotta keep the sides and around smooth while making sure to clear the hole so it can continue to leak, repeat until it stops making sure not to wipe too hard or too much to avoid chaffing..

@slayerwatcher Год назад

Can I just remove the drain before and then replace it or install a new one? Thanks...

@patriciaross883 2 года назад

Thank you for the video

@kimroth7868 Год назад

rather than doing it this way, could a person just remove the metal drain and allow it to flow? I have an old tub and candisconnect some of the pipes so it doesn't actually flow into the pipes itself.

@phillyformage4622 Год назад

thats what i did. He recommends doing it the way your saying but a lot of people are not confident enough to take it out and reinstall the drain .

@edgarmendezchacon2272 2 года назад

Is there a particular reason why you shouldn’t leave the tape on the drain for 4-5 hours if you’re continuously wiping it? I’m afraid of trying to peel it while the tub may still be wet and making a mess with a handprint in the tub.

@slooney64 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I'm still worried (perhaps unjustified) about the interface between the drain flange and the coating. Seems like an area prone to failure or might end up epoxying the drain flange so it can't be removed normally. I plan to remove the flange, tape the drain hole similarly to your technique( but inside the diameter of the flange), then replace the flange on top of the ekopel. Wish me luck!

@RefinishedBathSolutions 2 года назад

Good luck, sounds like a good plan.

@bigbacon3984 2 года назад

So Sloan Looney have you done this yet? I'm going to do the same thing I think. Any pointers b4 I twist the drain out?

@naza3392 3 года назад

Your videos are normally very educational, but on this one, You didn't show where you poured, also every time you were doing something your body was blocking the camera. I wanted to watch this one because I need to redo my drain area as well.

@RefinishedBathSolutions 3 года назад

This was the 2 hour live pour video from the day before. This is simply the drain portion of a full pour.

@andrewmaccaskey4388 Год назад

@ubacow7109 Год назад

ngl i feel like we might as well just caulk a bead of silicone around the drain to prevent it from getting in tbh.... then just remove it when ur removing the tape

@scottl7626 5 месяцев назад

Great videos. How much would you charge to do this? Ball park. In MO.

@Plotuscreations Год назад

What about the overflow hole? Same process??

@williamrhodes7772 4 месяца назад

3/8 thick at the drain when finished and had to chisel it out won't use this product again. Unfortunately don't think my customer wants me to sit and babysit a bathtub for 6 to 8 hours at $55 an hour

@natashadoris8913 2 года назад

I did my tub 2 days ago and some of the stuff accidentally went down the drain and clogged it up completely... When I turned the water on, I realized that it was backed up in the tub and even when used with an electric snake, nothing happened. Is there anyway to have this fixed? My anxiety is to the roof!

@RefinishedBathSolutions 2 года назад

I would recommend trying to heat the drain with a heat gun or hair dryer then scrape what you can out. Can even try using ace tone. If none of that works then you will need to call a plumber to replace the pipes.

@mikecarpenter307 2 года назад

I have some rust near the drain area where the original porcelan is thin. Should i use sand paper on the rust?

@RefinishedBathSolutions 2 года назад

Yes, you can use sandpaper to sand the rusted area. You can also use something over that area to treat the rust, and you can also use car bondo to smooth out the rusted area.

I want to apply to my bathroom tiles walls. Is that possible? If so I have a inch of different colored tile, do I tape it and use the process as taping the drain?

@ssuzeq1 Год назад

I have an uninstalled claw for tub in my shop no drain or facet at all. I’m going to refinish before it’s installed. Do I need to tape the drain? Or just put a cup under the drain?

@RefinishedBathSolutions Год назад

As long as it's uninstalled you can just place something underneath to catch the excess. Its the best easiest way to do a clawfoot.

Did my tub last week but some of the product dried on top of the drain. How to remove overrun from the drain?

@RefinishedBathSolutions 3 года назад

Try to heat area around the drain with a heat gun or hair dryer then score around the drain or where you thing the drain is with a razor blade. If that doesn't work use a dermal tool to cut it out. Sand the rest smooth to the touch with 220-320 grit sandpaper buff if needed or use a pour on touch up kit to fix. Make sure no water can get up under the finish at the drain area or you will have bigger issues later down the road.

@SavinHillBillie 2 года назад

I pulled the tape after 6 hours but it still stuck, and pulled the finish and dripped bubbles and smears that are now hardened. Can I use a heat gun to smooth this out ?

@RefinishedBathSolutions Год назад

I would recommend sanding any affected area areas smooth to the touch with 220-320 grit sandpaper then if you don't need more material you can go to 600 then 1500 then use nay car buffing compound to bring the shine back. If after sanding you do need more material use our pour on touch up kit.

@skippyjammers2747 Год назад

About a year after using ekopel refinish, a light brown streak has emerged down the middle of the tub.. any suggestions on how to cover or remove this streak?

@peterfiumefreddo9733 3 года назад

Question.. if im.replacing the drain should I do it before the refinish or would it be better to do the refinish with it removed and replace drain once product has dried

@RefinishedBathSolutions 3 года назад

I would recommend taking it out refinishing and then once dried and hard put the new one in.

@melbendigo 2 года назад

@@RefinishedBathSolutions Is there any danger of the product making the drain hole a little smaller, so that the hardware won't quite fit back in?

@cherylperket4235 2 года назад

I glazed my tub yesterday and taped up the drain but had to leave so the glaze did pool over the tape. Today removing tape and the glaze is hard over drain so can't. How can I remove?

@RefinishedBathSolutions 2 года назад

@DG-fe4ht Год назад

Why not use a small hose/tube with a shop vac to vacuum up drain pooling?

@RobertLinthicum Год назад

Your shop vac would be totalled.

@DG-fe4ht Год назад

@@RobertLinthicum how so? With the right length tube the epoxy will never reach the shop vac. Remember, you’d only be sucking up a tablespoon at a time.

@mikecarpenter307 3 года назад

Just so I understand, I can wait 4-6 hours before I remove the tape? How long is too late?

@RefinishedBathSolutions 3 года назад

We recommend peeling the drain tape 1 hour after you've poured. Then baby sit it for the next 4-5 hours to make sure no material gets into the drain, wipe away any excess. Remove the rest of the tape on the unit at hour 4-5 after you've poured.

@tubetubepleasure Месяц назад

With your body always in front of the camera, we cannot see what you are doing wiping the drain. it is frustrating.

I ask for help twice and got no response, neither by phone or e-mail. I am not an expert like on your video men. I did make have some extra runs that I needed to know how to clean up or fix. Your videos are good for experienced construction, but not too good for me.

@RefinishedBathSolutions Месяц назад

Hello Connie, I apologize that you were not able to reach us. sand down your runs and you can clean up unwanted ekopel with acetone. If you have any other questions please free to give us a call!
