This is probably not an intended use for the product, but I was at a crossroads when updating my basement bathroom: I needed to either switch my shower pan or coat it in a type of black water-friendly epoxy. I also had a situation where I had bare wood, PVC joints, and some cracks that needed to be sealed. Because of this and because I already had the surround tiled, I opted to try this product after quite a bit of research. Worst thing: I'm out $60 and move forward with changing out the pan.To prep, I cleaned all applicable surfaces extensively with bleach. Then I applied PVC primer on all the plastic surfaces. The product is thick, so taping off areas with painters tape worked very well for clean lines. I opted to use 90% isopropyl that I had around... I'm in Minnesota, and just about the only places I could find that had 99% were certain hardware stores if they carried epoxy type paint products, and they were at least in gallon sizes and expensive. You could probably order smaller/cheaper 99% isopropyl online along with this paint, but at the time I was taking on this project it wasn't really an option because of the pandemic. 90% worked fine for me, it probably would have been better to use 99% for better paint mixture and finish.Working with the product wasn't too bad. I made sure to work in batches using disposable cups, making about 8oz at a time. What I loved about this paint was that it had little to no odor; if anything it faintly smelled like ball point pen ink. The epoxy also didn't eat up any of my cheap foam brushes or rollers along the way. Clean up was also easy with the isopropyl. All these factors did not apply with other DIY epoxy kits I've tried, which was huge because I was working in a poorly ventilated bathroom and had pets that were sensitive to fumes.Drying time took a little longer than expected and the finish occasionally left bubbles of unset epoxy. I attribute this to not using better isopropyl and possibly having mix ratios slightly off. It actually worked in my favor because the product dries glossy and having texture from the bubbles was a good safety measure. Also because my situation called for black paint and was in low light, I had no problems with an inconsistent finish. If a perfect finish is desired, I don't think this paint would be capable of that nor is it really intended for that.I've been using the shower regularly with no complications for a few months. I've dropped things on it many times and it all still holds up. It also appears to have sealed my wood, gaps and cracks very well, preventing mildew from getting in. Even if the finish becomes compromised over time, I'll have no problem touching it up. I'm so glad I came across this!
