Pond Armor SKU-GRAY-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Gray

Used to seal a 20 year old pond that had small crack(s) in upper half of pond (leaking). The pond was made of light weight concrete or shotcrete and appeared to only have been “waterproofed” with concrete sealant in the past. Pressure washed, scrubbed and cleaned with a mild bleach solution, then let completely dry for a couple days. Mixed and applied one coat. Waited about 1-2 hours then applied second coat. Second coat was obviously easier than first. Checked for missed spots and found none.Set up in 24 hours, then filled and is holding water great and looks much better than before application. Read instructions and follow directions based on material type you are trying to seal.

It was hard to open the cans. But once opened the mixing and installation was easy. You need a stiff brush to apply. It dries very quick. In about 20-30 minutes. I waited 24 hours before adding water and fish. Non toxic and an excellent product. Wish I found it earlier. Would save me Time waiting for concrete to cure. It feels like a rubber coating. It’s a grayish blue light color. Works well.

I used this product to line the interior of a chest freezer I use as an ice bath. The interior was starting to rust in spots and the rubber liners I used previously leaked several times so starting looking for a product I could apply and someone recommended this one. I learned a lot from the first batch I mixed and applied. First, it is MUCH easier to work with if you thin with denatured alcohol. I mixed up a full batch (1 can of each) and it started setting up before I could get it all applied. On the second batch, I used the denatured alcohol and it made a big difference in workability of the product and the second coat went on much easier. Make sure your surface prep is done properly or the results will likely not be as you expect. I spent far more time prepping the surface than it took to apply 2 coats. Plan on applying 2 coats.Pros:-because it's rolled on, can be used on any shaped surface-elastic and does not seem like it will crack-the final product looks great when curedCons:-Difficult to apply. Use a roller designed for adhesive and epoxy-Messy and difficult to clean up. Plan on throwing away whatever you use to mix the product.-Strong odor and lingers long after the product is cured.This product is exactly what I needed and hopefully will provide a long-lasting solution. For prospective buyers, study the tips left by reviewers on how to mix and apply this product as it is challenging to work with, but will provide a durable, high-quality coating.

I used to use Flex Seal on my concrete fountain that had a leak. It worked for about a year and it would peel off. Now I use this product and it’s like a hard resin. One application and it seals my concrete fountain. No leaks.

We needed this product to connect two separate ponds together. I call it the connecting river between the two dug ponds with the pond liners overlapping. This was critical in securing the integrity of the pond connection. So far so good.

I built this pond in 2004. I painted it with a concrete water resistant paint not a waterproof paint. And it leaked, of course. I had a guy put a thin-set waterproof sealer on it and it worked for about 13 years before it started to peel from the top, crack and then started leaking through the brick. (He didn't sand or prepare the paint that was already there, that I know of).I knew this epoxy would be the best stuff to use but I also knew I needed to work hard in preparing the surface. As you can see, 4 pictures are just IN PREPARING THE SURFACE... chiseling, diamond grinding, grinding, filling (with waterweld), sanding the filling and acid washing. I had to remove the thin-set and the concrete paint and get it down to the cinder block concrete. It has the perfect rough surface for this epoxy to adhere.READ THE DIRECTIONS FIRST!!!I used: a Dewalt hammer chisel, a 4" diamond flat leveling grinder, and a reg 4.5" concrete disk grinder.I used a roller: 6" Best 1/4" nap white woven. DON'T use foam rollers. 2 quart throw away containers and used the 2 cup/ 1 cup recipe at a time because you need to go back and re-roll spots and this stuff dries in 20-30mins.I put 2 coats and it filled the cinder block surface and joints. It drys rubbery but in days it gets harder even under the water. (I waited the 24hr plus 6 hrs before I added water). As you can see the gray looks blue in water.And that's it. I hope this helps someone.

Hate to right a negative review but at the price of this stuff a few warnings: They neglect to tell you -you will need 1\4 cup denatured alcohol to mix. (isopropal will work and you are gonna need it for any cleanup).Next - they do warn to start with smallest mixture. Not kidding. Mixed a total of 3 cups. seemed a little thin at first. but it will start to set in about 15 minutes and then turns to a total unusable rubber in a matter of seconds. Lost about a cup worth on my first try.Will destroy your brush so just use cheap disposable ones. will need one brush per coat! but the brush stokes will level out. even pour on a bit and spread out. Work fast! Sets but does not DRY fast.A one quart painters cup with disposable liners works great.First coat did have a lot of small bubbles as it dried. May have been reaction with previous lining. Will have to see about the durability.

I needed to seal a fountain that was made of a cast material that was not waterproof. Pond Armor did the job and did it perfectly. Even the grey color matched. It was easy to mix and very easy to apply. It set in 24 hours and the fountain is now completely waterproof and functions as designed. I would use this product for any similar applications.
