Tools and Hardware Reviews of Homax 720773 Tub & Sink Brush-On One-Part Epoxy, 26-Ounce White
Customer Review: Expect Only Marginal Results
Summary: 1 Stars
I re-did a cast iron bathtub, first with the spray-on and then followed by the brush-on types by Homax.
Here is my assessment of both:
1. The smell will nearly kill you, especially the spray type. Wearing a high quality respirator is essential, but the fumes are intense.
2. I would definitely NOT recommend the spray-on at all! It is very difficult to get a shiny surface because the spray dries quickly sticking to the wet paint, and forms a micro-rough surface. Attempting to spray more to get a shiny surface, results in runs.
3. The brush-on type is much easier to use and gives good results as long as you are patient and do several light coats and not attempt heavy coats. Warmer temperatures (75-85 deg Fahrenheit) at application time give better results as the product thins out and brush marks dissipate more easily. The solvent chemical used in the paint evaporates rather quickly (within 30 to 60 seconds) - so it's easy to leave lasting marks if you are not careful to work quickly, or if you attempt to go back and rework an area. A few helpful hints: I found using acetone will temporarily thin the paint gives a hardened and slick surface but gets tacky quickly (little working time), and WD-40 works to thin the paint and dries slowly allowing you to smooth the surface with a quality brush but the surface is not as shiny and leaves a residue which can be wiped off.
4. Color is not consistent from one can to another. I had some that was more off-white / rust-white than pure white.
5. Paint requires several weeks to dry to the point where there is minimal odor.
6. Resulting surface is no more durable than any painted surface, so it can be dented, dinged, scratched or pulled-off with a strong tape. Use a primer if the surface is very smooth, to avoid possibility of peeling/chipping.
7. Acetone will dissolve it after it has hardened, allowing for some corrections.
8. After a few days of drying, it can be painted over again if the 1st attempts were not successful.
9. It can be lightly sanded to smooth the surface prior to applying a new coat - do not use steel wool as it will leave marks that cannot be removed.
10. If you are not satisfied with the results, on a metal tub, simply wait a week or so and use a razor blade to peel off the paint - you may be able to peel off whole sections.
11. If you have any brain cells left after breathing the fumes and reading this, you might find that a new tub is a better option or hire a professional re-glazer. Others have recommended the Rustoleum brand paint. I have not tried it.
12. I cannot advise on durability over time, as I finally got a mildly looking result within the last few weeks. Will see how things go.
