Does your product work with old cast iron clawfoot bathtubs too?
I wanted to suggest, instead of a FOAM roller your should try a roller that’s plastic/silicone or something similar. I feel like it would roll a lot easier and not absorb the product
Will this work on claw foot cast iron tub?
How do we clean the bathtub after ekopel refinishing. what are dos and don't to keep the bathtub well maintained?
Any sanding ?
Okay I just wanted to leave a comment about this. It works. I had and old red bathtub from the 60s that I did not want to remove. I wasn't sure how this stuff would coat it. It truly is amazing I did it myself in one coat and it completely covered the red. I did not use a heat gun. I did not use a hairdryer either. I just used the toilet bowl cleaner that they suggest and I cleaned the heck out of the bathtub multiple times. I actually did it about 2 months ago and that's why I waited to post this comment because it is a rock hard finish. I do have one chip in it that I think I did it before it dried. There are a couple imperfections here in there. But otherwise I am overly impressed and I am hoping that this lasts for at least a few years or as long as they say it does. I've never made a comment before about a product but I'm still amazed but this actually works because usually everything lets me down
I have a red jacuzzi that I want to do white and want to see if its possible ...this gives me hope
I don’t know why most people don’t like colored bathtubs and/or toilets. I think they’re coming back in style because in big box stores like Menards or Lowe’s you have to pay more for a toilet if it ain’t white.
I watched just about every video and they are very helpful.
I have a few tips that worked well. 1) After spreading the material I used a tooth pick to remove small pieces of hair and lint that ended up on the surface. This caused minimal surface damage and was all smoothed out by the end of drying. 2) At about the 3 hour mark I noticed there were small spots along the floor line that weren’t completely covered from where the material finished running down after pulling the duct tape. There was also some small pooling from the parts where the material completely reached the ground. I was able to run a q-tip with the cotton pulled off along the floor line to smooth out the pooling along the “calk line” at the floor and I also pushed some of the material up into the little bare spots. It worked perfectly to create a smooth coverage line along the bottom edge of the tub face.
3) I actually used 2 separate layers of tape for the process. I taped a small hole that is almost the exact diameter of the drain (at the lowest point of the tubs drain hole), then I also used the larger tape diameter that is shown in the taping video (this one basically outlines the outside of the drain cover itself). After I was done with the process I removed the top layer of tape (also tried to scoop out as much material as possible before removing the tape. Probably 10 wipes not 2 like the videos show) then I continued to wipe away material from the edge of the second layer of tape for the next 4 hours because it slowly runs closed to the tape. At about the 10 hour mark I was able to use a tooth pick to draw a line through the material around the tape because it had seeped over the edges of the tape. 10-12 hour mark it when I removed the second layer drain tape.
Now the actual drain fixture will cover the line of where the material stops and where the old tub surface is still exposed.
Nice. Thanks for the tip on the hour mark *~.~
I just wanted to thank you for posting your tips in a comment! I am just refinishing a kitchen sink that will be used for 5-6 months until it’s replaced when my kitchen renovation is done - and I’m still nervous! My daughter and son-in-law purchased an older home - and the person who flipped it did some questionable “quick fixes” in order for it to look nice ON THE SURFACE. I am going to have them watch this particular video for installing the product + read your comment. I really appreciate that you kept track of the number of hours that has passed related to specific steps - that makes your tips much more valuable!
I also want to thank the company for making so many videos showing the application of this product. In a world where it’s so easy to post complaints about products/services, it’s good business practice to provide as much information as possible about your product and how to install it. It must be frustrating when customers call to complain about poor results - and you find out that they chose to ignore one (or more) of the written instructions. For example, when the written instructions specifically provide that the product must be mixed/stirred BY HAND - I don’t understand why anyone would decide to use a drill (or other electrical equipment) instead. I guess it’s a result of the “instant gratification” mentality that has become ingrained in the world today.
Awesome. I’m going to own the premix process and keep it away from
my husband who lives by and loves power tools for efficiency. Using a power mixer reduces strain on weak wrist joints FYI why we love it, same reason we use KitchenAid mixers in the kitchen,,,, however, it creates air bubbles like whipping in the product, I imagine. Going to strap on my wrist widget and be diligent.
Glad it’s low VOC.
I have worked with quite a bit of epoxy materials. Here's a few tips. Mix the resin thoroughly before adding the hardener. If the resin is somewhat separated and hard to mix, warm it slightly and that will reduce viscosity. I would leave it in the car when sunny out and let it warm and then stir it. Let it come back to room temperature prior to adding the hardener or it might set faster than you would like. While mixing, clean the stir stick with another stick or knife and put the material into the can. Scrape well the edges of the can to get every bit off. As they say in the video, you can transfer the mixed liquid into another container for application. This prevents any non-mixed resin from getting into the tub. Not a bad idea.
WOW.... I ordered two kits because I have a sink, a claw foot tub and a toilet that has a cast iron tank. I cut one of the kits in two equal parts and did the sink, the toilet tank lid, and the inside of the tank. I did the inside of the tank because it had tons of rust and scale and I didn't want rusty water. Guys, I was AMAZED at the results and and even more amazing was that it was SO EASY....! All three of my pieces had a date stamp from August, 1914, and I'm keeping them in the mid 1800's house that I'm restoring. I have another claw foot tub from this house that I'm not keeping and I will definitely order another kit to restore it and either sell it, or use it in another home. I'm sold.... this stuff is amazing. Thanks...! BTW, I'm a kitchen and bath contractor and I've use the spray on epoxy paint kits before and they suck.
Great video and commentary. The only suggestion I would make is consider doing it on a colored tub for viewers to see the coverage better. Fingers crossed mine looks as good as yours...thanks👍
Just over 8 mins in and this is the best video I have watched so far!! Thanks! I'm looking at doing this to our tub this year; watched a few videos. This video is proof that people who are "doing this for the first time after watching pro videos" should be shamed off you tube!!
I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions about what kit would be best to purchase for your application or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 877-882-2278.
Thank you for going through all the aspects so clearly and precise. You are a great at what you do.
Appreciate the video as well as the explanation of what you were doing as you did it. Thanks.
Thank you for the training video, this product is awesome, so happy with outcome.
Thank you! for the mixing method way, super helpful tips!
I, for one, REALLY APPRECIATE all the instruction & reiteration of directions. I want to "do it right the first time, EVERY time" & save as much money & time as possible. THANK YOU for your diligence.
Great explanation. With conviction!!! Thanks!
Ok this video is better than the updated 2020 one. So thorough! Thank you!
I'm sold ordering it right now good job on the tub and good job on the video
Awesome job, thanks for taking the time to walk through this so slowly this is a great help. I have two large Victorian Belfast sinks I am going to ekopel here in Scotland 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Did you get any clients? I am thinking to start this in the south of England.
Thank you soo much for the video! I'm a 69-year-old woman who is a DIY person. If I don't do it, it won't get done. With that said, refinishing my tub has been very intimidating to me besides not wanting to deal with the fumes of the products I was aware of. My tub is 70 years old and extremely porous due to 70 years of scrubbing with an abrasive cleaner. I can't wait to try your product! The price of the product is high but if it works, I'm all in!
Thank you so much!! I feel confident I can do it now 😊
Excellent product. Work slowly as to avoid air bubbles
Very very good demonstration!!! I feel well equipped
You are .
EKOPEL Product is excellent! Very little to no odor. Perfect instruction. I was able to complete this process within 2 hours including the cleaning. Big hint to remove product on skin is dawn dishwashing liquid.
Happy to hear you are satisfied with our product!! If you have any questions feel free to reach out!
Good job with the vid very helpful.
you know you are a pro when you don't even take off your watch :)
Very good instructor.
Looking forward to refinishing my tub today! Brought the kit a few weeks ago and after renewing the tiles above the tub, I am ready to pour today! Got the heat at 75 for the past 12 hours and all is go to change my lovely 70's style, avocado green tub into a more neutral white coloured tub. Post product application review to follow.
How'd it come out?
Great video. Is there a way to add pigment to change the color to this? Thanks!
Hi, do you remove the caulking around the tub first? No need to sand or clean with acetone? Thanks, just bought this on amazon for my girlfriends old porcelain tub
You are a great instructor with a very strong back. I made a mess but the tub looks amazing! Really not looking forward to pulling the tape and seeing how much seeped into my drain and on the floor tho 😢 🤞
Great video, it’s like we are at your class. Getting this for our project. Thank you!
Simply the best product I've used in a long time.The video was very informative.
Hello, near the end right before the heat gun, when you are pulling the material 6", what pressure are you using with the roller?
I just did my tub today. It looks better than new, when it was new to me it was all used up. Lol. I cleaned the tub then cleaned the tub again then I got ready to pour and cleaned it again. I poured the material then I rolled it. I had an idea and that was to break the material down into 3 portions and I think it worked perfect lkje that for me. The material leveled itself our perfect. I actually removed the drain so no more accidents
Great video! answered alot of the questions that I had. I will be doing this come tomorrow and wanted a guide for it, this was exactly what I was after. The only negative thing I have to say is that I really wish you would of chose to redo a tub that actually NEEDED redone and shown the steps to get there. That tub is practically brand new and just a quick wipe down was fine. What about an old cast iron tub that has chips and years of crap on it? Should I sand it down some, just wipe it, or something else?
My clawfoot tub is currently peeling. What is the best way to fix that before doing the acid wash? Thanks!! Loved the videos
Good video, but you didn’t cover what to do with the small area under the Solo cup that doesn’t get coverage?
I am absolutely in need of this product. How would a cheap rubber or plastic spatula work for stirring? Any reaction between plastic or rubber and the epoxy?
I love this... commercials in a commercial. LOL
Thank you for doing this video. We bought the kit but did not receive the scooper. Going to do this next weekend!
stirring for 10 min was hardest thing. great product, great lesson.
thanks!
THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS GREAT. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. (Tip: preheat 70-75deg the bathroom with portable heater prior to pouring the EKOPEL).
DIY'er here... used this on 2 tubs today... looks great... can't wait to see it tomorrow after it cures... only mistake i made was putting the tape on the tile wall, not the tub like you recommended...
I did our tub today and was impressed with the finished look. Take the time to prep and this looks very nice. Thanks for the videos, u watched several times and felt very comfortable working with the product. Highly recommended 👌
We love to hear it. Glad you had a good experience!
Planning on doing our shower walls and tub. In what order should they be done? Walls first or tub? Or both at the same time? Thanks
I did my under the counter kitchen sink yesterday according to your step by step process and am quite happy with the results!!!! This sink never looked this good even when it was new. This is one of the best products I've ever used!!!! With the left over product I even did a table top to great results!! Now the table looks like it has a glass top!
That's awesome! Glad to hear, thanks for the positive feedback.
Looks good, only thing that I would add is when it would be best to remove the masking, but you didn't have to do that with that setup. I imagine that it would be best to remove it right at the end, when you are done getting the coating how you want it, so that it doesn't end up stuck in the material, making it hard to remove. Maybe you mentioned it, but I didn't catch it.
Omg!!!.... I recommend 100% I did it to my bathtub and now it looks like a neww...👍👍👍
Same here! My tub looks amazing!
Can I ask a question, when you do a tub that's in place what do you do to the drain do I just tape it off
I’m going for it dude. Wish me luck
It was flawless until I took a brush with mineral spirits and a few drops hit the side. I ordered a patch kit. I don’t see it being a problem whatsoever. Very very pleased
Is there a method for painting a shower stall that has a top? Seems like it would drip...thoughts?
Holy cow! I just got my kit. The print on the instructions is sooo small! I'm going to need a magnifying glass to read.
great video as always, thanks to your videos I successfully refinished a 6 jet Jacuzzi tub and it came out perfect. what if you had access to the drain enough to put a catch pan under the drain would you still scoop or just let it run out the drain
Did you ever get a reply? I have access to my tub from the basement and am thinking the same thing. Remove the drain completely and let it run through. Then there are not any lines at all, when fished you could tape the bottom to coat the drain hole also. I've seen rust in that area with metal tubs on other kits.
I've just refinished my bathtub using this product and it came out awesome. This video is great to follow step by step in the process and it came out perfect. Just followthe instructions and you'll be amazed how good your work have turned out. Did not use all of it. This is the first time I've done it and I'm supper happy with the outcome. Highly recommend.
Fresco Sales how is it holding up?
Yes , how is it holding up??
Shalom!! HI!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! Shalom !! bye!
I DID IT! I followed the instructions given exactly and did an 80 year old kitchen sink AND an antique bathroom sink at the same time. (I had plenty left over) It was a bit nerve wracking at times and lucky that I had down plenty of plastic cuz there was a lot of dripping. They look absolutely outstanding!
Feel free to share photos of the sinks to sboudreau@refinishedbathsolutions.com
As regards "plenty left over": Two tubs in the same house can be done at one time with a one-tub kit.
I have a six foot long corner tub so there is an additional side plus slightly longer length than traditional 5' tub. The top edge is rounded ( there is no flat surface) and I am wondering if this kit contains enough material to finish this tub. Also, would removing the drain basket be beneficial?
Thank you
Thank you for the in depth instructions, I bought the tub and tile kit to do the tiles on the walls surrounding my tub. Any tips on how to do the tiles? The pour method you used on the tub?
Follow the demo tub and surround videos and you should be good. I would recommend mixing one can at a time and work fast keep in mind you only have about an hour to play with the material after that hour is up the material is too difficult to work
Is there a smaller amount you can buy if you have a fiberglass tub that is half the size of the tub you are doing in this video? And will it even work on a fiberglass tub?
Hi. The video seemed great and the comments are amazing. QUESTION: i want to do this over an older and crappier reglazing. do i go right over the initial reglazing or take that glaze off? if so, how? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I would recommend peeling up what you can of the old finish then sand the rest smooth to the touch with 220-320 grit sandpaper. As long as it's smooth to the touch it won't mirror. From there etch and deep clean with Lysol Power or any toilet bowl cleaner that has hydrochloric acid in it. From there you can tape up and pour.
Is the Biscuit color close to a light almond? Thanks!
I finally got around to doing this today. If anyone reads this, tape the box like he shows. I made a huge mess and it was pouring all out of the bottom lol. Also, I am short, so I was leaning into the front of the tub when reworking on the walls and made another mess. I should have put a small extension on the roller handle. Just waiting for everything to stop moving now. :) So far, it's a major improvement over my 1950's tub that was chipped and peeling. Cleaning up has been fairly easy too.
Thank you. I finally read a comment with someone who’s short. I was wondering how I was going to reach the other side without my body touching the front of the tub. I’m still thinking if I should get this kit or just use the rust oleum appliance epoxy. I love this method but it just looks challenging
@@tracyb3198 I researched the Rustoleum and while it's easier to apply, it's not as durable. Good luck with your project!
Not sure if this question has been answered but is this product recommended on cultured marble surfaces?
Love the look. I do this professionally. Wish I could use your product but the time would kill my business. Otherwise looks amazing.
Thank You!
Any recommendations on a cast iron claw foot tub that has some deep pits and rust? I just purchased the product and want to make sure I do it correctly
I would like to do the tile around the tub... can u give me some pointers.
Do I let it all drain in the tub and do I need to kits and do I mix both of them at the same time
Will this work on an Acrylic tub and surround; I believe it will. Thank you for your help.
It will you need 2 kits and to follow our tub and tile video
I've watched several of theses videos, and I find that you explain things very well, I'm sure I can do it and I know I will be doing one soon.
I find this stuff to be fantastic and the videos very well explaining, thanks a bunch
don't waste your money, this is a horrible product. Nothing in those videos can prepare you for the pathetic results
@@rlputtputt lol.. you did it wrong!!
Go for it Girl... You can do it. *~.~
I had a bathtub with the finish completely worn off on the bottom. I bought the kit, watched video, took notes, was very nervous applying. Wish I hadn't been so nervous, I'm sure it would have turned out better. It is a great product, even with my mistakes it looks 100% better. I love it!! Wish I knew how to add the before and after photos!
My bottom is exposed to original color and the paint job is completely peeled up. Did you have to sand down with this product?
Hows it holding up?
Do you know if using a pumice stone will hurt the finish on the acrylic tub and is it safe to use to remove built up soap scum? Thanks so much.
I’m definitely going to get the kit but the tub in the video is pretty shiny and smooth so it’s hard to notice a difference.
So it came out good! But you can tell an amateur did it because I have some ripples only on the outside. I also have some pooling because the roller that came with it, (I didn’t follow your advice to make sure it worked first, which it did but not when I was using it on the ekopel) so I suggest the old method, a lot easier to move product around with a flat edge. All in all the product is fantastic.. but I just wish I had this guy here to do it for me since he makes it look so easy.... but since I don’t, my okayish results will have to do... better than before that’s for sure.
To fix wavy uneven areas you can sand it smooth with 220-320 grit sandpaper then double the grit to 600 then 1500 then use any car buffing compound and it will bring the shine back to the tub.
I have several small chips in my tub which are approximately 1/32 to 1/16 thick. Will your product fill them in after they are sanded, or must I fill these areas first?
I have a baby blue tub. Would I be able to cover with your white product in a single coat?
Great Video. Can is use this on a combination sub and surround and how much more material will I need for each Tub surround and Tub?
yes you can use ekopel on a tub and surround you would need 2 cans of ekopel to do a tub and surround. We actually have a kit on our website called ekopel tub and surround kit, it's design for exactly that.
Good video, I wish you used a different color paint. A darker paint would allow us to see what you are doing better.
And maybe see errors better. White on white is hard to see.
The heat gun you used, for bubbles what temperature is it on?
Does it say in the instructions?
I have to repair a chip and was going to use Bondo, and sand entire tub with 400 grit.
Will Bondo be ok to use? (old 1950's steel tub, with your product.)
Thanks
What a great product this is and it's so eco friendly. I know that many landlords and contractors could use this in their tool kit. Can you tell me where I can order it and how much it costs? Thanks very much. Maria

Hi...appreciate this video very much. I have a old Kohler cast iron tub that is over 100 years old...pedestal type. I am going to just sand down and paint the outside with either a oil based boat deck paint or maybe even rustoleum stray paint (thinking aged copper). The inside is ok...but I will have to sand down and put a little bondo around the drain (small chips). I won't have to do the cup thing for the drain...already removed and will be easy to seal up from the bottom. My question relates to the heat gun process....did you just slowly go around the tub with it just for a couple of seconds to get the air bubbles out and was the temp pretty low on your gun. The rest seemed quite logical how you did this....think the most important part or a lot of it will be masking around the tub and protecting the floor and walls while I do this. I am going to refinish the outside of the tub outside the house and then bring into the bathroom to do the inside. I won't have a lot of room but should be ok. I priced just having this reglazed...but they want 700 to do my tub...so worth trying this. Thanks again for the details....hand sturring for sure...)
When using a heat gun we use the high setting and go slow to pop bubbles or fish eyes.
Can Ekopel 2K be used on a previously glazed tub after stripping off the old glaze? If so, what would you recommend to use for the stripping & cleaning & any procedure tips for doing this? Why still use the cup for a dam if you tape over the drain before pouring?
He told me there is no reason to remove the old finish, just sand it and clean with the toilet cleaner. I used a razor blade to remove the old finish on my tub and it was very messy and time consuming.
I am planning to resurface a claw foot bath tub.... any suggestions??
What cleaner do you recommend after refinishing tub with Ekopel 2k
My tub is a Kohler slip-resistant bottom does Ekopel can be used with these type of tubs?
My tub is mauve, can I use this and change the color to white or will it blead through ?
after using the ekopel 2k epoxy kit on my tub can I use a silicone caulk? Are non slip stickers safe?
Are there any installers of your product in the Fort lauderdale Florida area?
Are there different colors or can you add colors to it?
Question? If you have a few minor chips in your tub, what product do you suggest to use so it’s a flat surface? My mom has a plastic surround above tub that also needs replacing. Should she remove it and do the tub then replace the surround or completely do the surround prior to tub?
Crafty Raine Id finish the surround then do the tub.
As for chips on flat areas they will fill in. On verticals it’s best to fill with bondo before coating
Two questions; 1) If using leftover material to do my vanity top, should I gently stir it again before doing so or is it likely okay? 2) If it lasts 15 to 20 years, is it possible to redo it on top of the existing Ekopel finish at that time following the same steps as in the video prep-wise?
It's not recommended that you use the extra materials to do another project because if it get stretched too thin it can cause streaking or yellowing. Also you only have about an hour to work with the materials after it's been mixed. After the hour the material is too hard to work with. yes you can apply a second coat of ekopel on top of ekopel following similar prep work.
I watched your video and am impressed with your work. I have a 7 yr old porcelain clawfoot tub. The faucett sits on the top of the tub, and there is of course a chrome drain.can these be taped off ? I'm a painter, but a perfectionist, and do not want to tackle this by myself. I heard your voice and guessed you may be from MA, then I saw the Patriots bucket 🤣
I'm in Weymouth, can I hire you to do it for me? Thank you !
Hello,
Please email me photos of the tub you want to get refinished, Erin@ekopelusa.com
I will get back to you asap!
Not sure if I missed it, but in your videos, are you using Bright White or American Standard White product? I appreciate the detailed explanations/instructions.
Kraf-T Yaya always bright white. AS white is ordered around 1/100
What do you do with leftover product, seems to be a bit of waste
This video could’ve benefited from some good editing 🥴 unit this is a great video. Very informative.
Been wanting to re do our old clawfoot tub. There is a dip in the center bottom where water lays. Would this self level and fill this or would this have to be addressed prior. Also, what about chipped/rusted areas? Any special pre-process for those?
Dave Artkowsky it is best to repair any damages before you complete the unit with bondo or a polyester putty.
When you used the heat gun, how close did you get to surface?
Is the bottom super smooth, can you add any kind of sand to put safety texture? How long is this surface expected to last? If I put material that's left in air tight container, can I keep it to touch up a chip on a tub at a different location, will it stay liquid or will it harden? I'll just want to dab a Lil on with a brush at rental property.
Thank you, I'm apprehensive mostly because of the time constraints, but I so need to do this on a 54" tub that's 50 yrs old in my mothers trailer. We couldn't find a replacement easily that size when she remodeled during covid.
Thank you for your comment! We do have a non-slip kit available on our website. The surface can last up to 15 years! Unfortunately, the material is not able to save once it is mixed. It will harden. We have touch up kits available if you encounter any imperfections. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions!
Thanks..I want to paint the tub black to match the remodeling scheme..Should I get a gallon of gloss Rust-Oleum?or is there a specialty paint and where?
We offer Ekopel in black.
@@RefinishedBathSolutions Thanks doing research now
Love this product. I'm 58 and did it without any issues tub and sink looks amazing. However after curing a lil product leaked under tape. How can I remove from floor tile...Thx
Heat up the area with a heat gun or hair dryer then scrape it off you can also use acetone. I recommend heating it up first then using the acetone
At what time do you remove the tape from the walls and floor?
Would mauratic acid break ok to clean a tub prior to using
I used the pour on method and ended up with several runs. What grit(s) of sandpaper and or rubbing/polishing compound might I use to make this look better?
Hi, Please 220-320 grit Sandpaper and any car buffing compound.
All the tub you do is in good shape I would love to see one that is in bad shape and then two years later
Can eckopel be used on a fiberglass tub.I used it on a porcelain tub and it worked great.
Yes it can be used on fiberglass just make sure there is no flex. If there is a flex it would have to be fixed first.
Question. I just applied the spray krylon tub and tile to my tub, I've been converting a jetted tub to a soaker. Now I want to apply this (impossible to get a really smooth finish with the spray). Would I need to remove the paint I just applied? Or would the cleaning with the toilet bowl cleaner you mention be sufficient?
I would recommend peel up what you can if its peeling. Then sand it smooth to the touch with 220-320 grit sandpaper even if it's smooth already quick sand with 400 grit. Remember you want it to be smooth to the touch or it can mirror the affected area. Then deep clean and etch with Lysol power or any toilet bowl cleaner that has hydrochloric acid in it. From there you can tape up and pour.
can i sand the tub before applying this product? if so, what’s the minimum grit sandpaper you would recommend? my old cast iron tub has multiple layers of coating that have chipped and peeled away leaving a super uneven finish. i would like to at least feather out these areas if not remove them all together.
I would recommend peeling up what you can of the old finish. Then sand the rest smooth to the touch with 220-320 or even 400 grit sandpaper. Then give the tub a deep clean with Lysol Power or any toilet bowl with Hydrochloric acid in it, this also etches the surface as well. From there you can tape and pour.
