How to Apply
-
01Clean, Repair & Sand
Remove old coating and silicone, deep clean the surface, repair defects, and let it dry completely. Sand thoroughly, wipe away all dust, and mask the surrounding area.
The surface must be clean and completely dry before coating.
-
02Mix the 2K Coating
Pour Part B hardener into Part A base. Stir for 5–8 minutes, let the mixture stand for 5–10 minutes to release bubbles, then stir again for 1 minute. For a partial batch, maintain the 4:1 ratio by weight.
Use the mixed coating within approximately 40 minutes.
-
03Pour, Spread & Level
Pour from the top rim so the coating flows down the surface. Use the serrated plastic spreader for a thin, even layer, the mini foam roller on the bottom and flat areas, and the brush for corners and detail areas.
Work evenly and remove excess coating before it begins to set.
-
04Ventilate & Cure
Keep the area ventilated and protect the coated surface from water, cleaners, dust, and contact while the high-gloss finish cures.
Touch-dry: 24 hours · Light use: 36–48 hours · Full cure: 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is 2K Epoxy the right choice for my bathtub?
Choose 2K Epoxy when your priority is a hard, high-gloss finish for a frequently used bathtub. Its two-part coating system is designed for bathroom surfaces that need strong adhesion, resistance to water stains, and everyday wear protection.
It's not a repair product for structural damage. Your surface must be sound, fully prepared, and allowed to complete its cure time for the best long-term result.
2. Is one kit enough for my bathtub?
Yes. One full kit is designed for one standard bathtub. The pre-measured amount is intended for a one-pour application, so there is no need to calculate coverage or plan for multiple coats.
For best results, finish all surface preparation, masking, and setup before mixing. Once mixed, pour and spread the full kit evenly as directed.
3. What surfaces can I refinish with this kit?
This kit is designed for properly prepared porcelain, porcelain-enameled steel, cast iron, fiberglass, acrylic, sinks, tile, countertops, shower floors, and similar hard indoor bathroom surfaces.
Do not apply over active rust, loose enamel, peeling coatings, silicone caulk, moisture, or an unstable or unknown existing finish. If you are unsure about your surface, test a small inconspicuous area first.
4. Can this kit fix peeling, chips, cracks, or rust?
Not by itself. Repair and stabilize damaged areas before refinishing. The coating can refresh a sound surface, but it cannot permanently repair deep structural cracks, active rust, severe corrosion, flexing, loose enamel, widespread peeling, or water damage beneath the surface.
Remove loose or failing material first. For severe corrosion, major cracking, or widespread failed reglazing, professional repair or replacement may be the better long-term option.
5. What preparation is required before applying 2K Epoxy?
A durable finish starts with a clean, stable, completely dry surface. Before painting:
- Remove old silicone caulk and any loose or peeling coating.
- Clean away mold, soap film, oils, hard-water deposits, and cleaner residue.
- Repair and stabilize chips, cracks, rust, or other surface damage.
- Lightly sand glossy areas, then remove all sanding dust.
- Make sure the surface is fully dry before mixing and applying the coating.
Do not apply over moisture, silicone residue, active mold, or any loose or failing layer. These can lead to fisheyes, bubbling, or peeling.
6. How do I mix it, and how long can I work with it?
The full kit is pre-measured, so you don't need to calculate a mixing ratio. Combine Part A and Part B exactly as directed, then mix thoroughly until the coating has a consistent color and texture.
Once mixed, you have approximately 40 minutes of working time. Complete cleaning, sanding, masking, and setup before mixing, and only prepare what you can apply within that window. Follow the instructions included with your current kit for the exact mixing method and any requirements for partial batches.
7. When can I use my refinished bathtub or shower?
Under recommended conditions:
- Touch dry: approximately 4 hours
- Light use: 36–48 hours
- Full cure: approximately 7 days
Until fully cured, keep the surface dry and avoid water, cleaners, scrubbing, bath mats, and regular use. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may extend cure time.
8. Should I choose 2K Epoxy or the Water-Based Tub & Tile Kit?
Choose the 2K Epoxy Tub Refinishing Kit if you prioritize:
- A harder, higher-gloss, and more durable finish
- Higher resistance to abrasion, stains, and everyday bathroom wear
- Frequently used surfaces such as bathtubs and high-contact areas
Choose the Water-Based Tub & Tile Kit if you prefer:
- Easier application
- A lower-odor, water-based formula
- More color options and a more flexible working process
Both systems require thorough cleaning, light sanding, complete drying, and full curing. If your surface has active rust, deep cracks, peeling coatings, or moisture problems, repair those issues first.
