What happens here

The third issue encountered was the paint running and sagging. Despite the speaker being an experienced painter who typically uses brushes and rollers, he found that the spray application of this product resulted in a rough finish that wouldn't 'jell out' or smooth properly. When he attempted to use the brush-on method from a quart kit, the paint would sag and run excessively on the vertical surfaces of the bathtub, making it nearly impossible to achieve a smooth, glossy, and run-free finish. This indicates the product's difficult application properties for large vertical areas.

Goal: Demonstrate the difficulty of achieving a smooth, run-free finish with the product due to its fast-drying and sagging properties.

Tools and materials

  • Epoxy Paint — The product being applied to the shower/bathtub
  • Paint Brush — Attempting to apply the paint using a brush-on method
  • Paint Roller — Attempting to apply the paint using a roller method

What they say

number three why I would never paint a bathtub or shower again. And that's actually how the finish actually turned out on this thing. And I have to say I've actually been painting for quite a few years. So I'd like to think that I'm am kind of a decent painter, but I attempted to spray this stuff on there and the spray cans were an absolute nightmare. What was happening is I was getting a rough finish. It wasn't jelling out well enough. And and when I did get it to a point where it gel out and smooth out and give that glossy finish, then it started running. So then I tried to actually use the brush on method where I used one of the kits that had a court and I started brushing on and I would have to also think that I can actually brush pretty well cuz I've been using a brush and a roller for quite a few years now. But I just kept getting runs everywhere on this bathtub. And no matter how hard I tried and no matter how I worked the product if I put it on too Whoops. video card got filled. So had to jump to a new SD card. But no matter how hard I tried working this stuff and brushing with it, I just couldn't keep it from running, this stuff is just, it dries really, really quick, but it actually sags and runs really, really easy. Absolute nightmare. I've never used it again. So, reason number four for why I would actually never attempt to do this project again is I went through I I followed the manufacturer's instructions on how to actually clean this thing. I followed it exactly how they said you got to clean this thing really thoroughly, you know, twice. And I went way above and beyond what it actually said to actually clean this thing. So, I cleaned it I think either three or four times, but then we also sanded it and buffed it like really, really well to make sure that it had a nice profile on it, get something to bite. And lo and behold, the bottom
