Pond Armor SKU-SKYBLUE-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Sky Blue

love the color and the gloss shine. product worked well for my 350 gallon minnow bait tank in the store. with the high gloss it has, it made it easy to wipe and clean the tank went needed. product has awesome durability and adhesion to the fiberglass tank. product was easy to apply and mix the two part together.

Used for the inside of an ice bath. Was pretty hard to paint on, and pretty expensive, but has held up great for months. The color looks nice and bright. Dried pretty quickly and covered a good area.

Great product. Used it for a birdbath, inside and out. The product self-levels as you put it on. The blue color is fabulous. Cleaned the birdbath first with muriatic acid, then used a paint brush. You can go over areas, and it makes it even more beautiful as long as it is within an hour of application. It dries to a hard glossy look that looks just like ceramic. Don't spill it on other surfaces, although we got it on the kool-deck of the patio, but it came off with a putty knife to scrape it. Probably best to wear disposable gloves (I didn't). Used rubbing alcohol to get it off hands, then washed thorough with warm water and soap and hands were fine. Would definitely buy again!

Very difficult to work with. Work in small batches and definitely thin with alcohol. The alcohol makes it easier to work with. It starts curing as soon as you mix it so work fast. I used this to coat a chest freezer for use as a cold plunge. It does work, just a learning curve as you go.

Coverage is severely misleading you will require two batches to reach the coverage stated unless you notice the fine print of smooth surface and then see in the directions they only mean like a concrete pool. It took 3 sets of this product for a 5x3x2 aquarium. Product is very difficult to apply. Product runs down the walls before it has a chance to cure. Based on my experience with applying this product it would have taken several more coats to achieve the 1/4 inch thickness it specifies in the manual. After completing I did think it looked great and we were very happy for about two weeks. And then the dam broke literally. This product can not take any movement or vibrations or it will crack. After draining the aquarium and inspecting on the seems I found fractures forming in the corner that grew to the length of the seem. This is not what I would expect to happen with 3 coats of product. We spent several days sealing all seems and corners with aquarium silicone but notice after a day or so the u Der side of the aquarium was starting to get wet until eventually you could see a stream and small pool of water. At this point there is a place that water can seap but we can not find where this is happen so in the end we ended up having to fill the aquarium with dirt and form a pond in the middle with pond liner. Luckily this was the bottom of a paludarium so we could make it work but if this was to be a real aquarium I don't know what we would have done. I really just don't trust the coating enough to try and fill it bare again.

I purchased 2 sets of the pond shield for our 8ft stock tank pool & it was the perfect amount of coverage. I (precisely) followed the directions for galvanized metal application & it came out beautifully perfect. A few pro tips I gathered from multiple blogs, articles & You Tube videos: 1. This absolutely MUST be applied under the perfect atmospheric conditions. 80% humidity & 98 degree weather in Houston was far below ideal so I improvised with a large fan that redirected the AC from inside my house to the attached garage. It was definitely NOT energy efficient but the only way the pond shield could be applied before January. It also helped to keep debris & bugs from falling in by doing this project in the (extremely well ventilated) garage. 2. I used 6 cans of Rustoleum self etching primer spray paint to completely cover the inside. Be sure to wear a mask & shop vac the dry dust that will be left behind before applying the epoxy so you have a clean surface. 3. Definitely use alcohol to thin out the mixture. The instructions say it’s an optional step but for this application it helped make the epoxy more spreadable & extended the time to apply it. 4. Low nap fabric rollers are a must. Foam rollers will disintegrate immediately. 6. 2 coats makes the epoxy thick enough that it won’t easily be scratched or damaged but you’ll still have noticeable drips on the sides. Once it’s full of water you won’t notice. 7. Apply epoxy to the sides first (both 1st & 2nd coats) so you can apply from the inside of the stock tank & make sure you get into every groove & ridge. Then apply to the bottom from outside of the tank with a roller on an extension pole. 8. I sprinkled a little bit of leveling sand on top of the final coat for slip resistance & I’m soooo glad I did. This stuff is super slippery to stand on when it’s completely submerged in water. The sand in the epoxy has saved quite a few butts. 9. Wait a solid 24 -48 hours (depending on how humid it is outside) before putting water in. I waited 4 days just to be safe. 10. Even with 2 coats of epoxy paint on the sides, underwater magnetized LED lights have no problem attaching. Overall the entire project turned out better than we could’ve ever hoped for due, in large part, to Pond Shield.

First off what I wish id known was NOT to use Rust-Oleum self etching primer. It says that in the instructions but I didn't come across that info before hand. I think I wouldve gotten a smoother end result if I had. This stock tank is being used as a fish tank so it's fine but if it was for a pool or something you wanted super smooth, use a different brand self etching primer. That being said the process was pretty easy overall. Seems daunting but the instructions are clear . Also buy a squeegee for large pieces like stock tanks. Worked very well and combined with a roller was super easy to apply. I'll be getting this again for more projects like the inside of my wheelbarrow ect..

You get what you pay for

Ho acquistato questo prodotto nel 2019 ad 80 EUR (quando negli USA costava circa 80 USD). Ora dovrei riacquistarlo a 160~200 EUR quando negli USA si trova anche a 59 USD (circa 55 EUR)? Ho controllato la quantità....è lo stesso formato da 1.5 quarti di gallone (circa 1.4 litri) ... il prodotto è notoriamente ottimo...ma...il prezzo è assurdo...mi costa meno comprarlo da amazon usa e farmelo spedire....

Good product, have applied in two coats to my project, and havent had any issues

Use the alcohol to mix, makes the job infinitely easier. Finishes like glass, was perfect for my cold plunge freezer project. Highly recommended.
