Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bathtub Repair Kit, Almond & White
Customer Review: Worked Great, Poor Quality Control
Summary: 4 Stars
First, a caveat:
This is NOT a refinishing product. It is a PATCH. It will look like a patch, smell like a patch and never, ever make your tub ready for a Better Homes and Gardens photo shoot. Tub refinishing is expensive. If you spend $[. bucks and think your tub will look like new, you are a moron. You can tell the people who reviewed this poorly are morons with unrealistic expectations.
The bad news:
The kit says will repair a 5" crack. No, the fiberglass strips were short. The kits were less than 4" in one and the other was 4.5" the end of the shorter piece was so badly frayed so only about 3.5" was usable.
I had a 7" crack in the shower pan of my RV so I had ordered two kits. I had barely enough to repair the crack.
The almond pigment is useless, there is too little and the epoxy resin still comes out white, it also takes up valuable time mixing in the pigment. Chances are your almond has yellowed with age, so don't even bother mixing it in. The repair still will look white and since this stuff SETS UP REALLY FAST, use the time to get the repair correct. If you need it look good to sell the RV, get some spray paint and sandpaper.
Did I mention this stuff gets hard FAST? I MEAN FAST! Make sure to drill about a 1/4" hole at each end of the crack to prevent spreading, get all your tools ready and WORK FAST!!!!! If you don't you will have a mess.
The good news:
Fixed a really bad crack 100% for about $30, a new shower pan would have cost hundreds, plus been a nightmare to install (professional installation would have brought the total bill well over $500-$600).
It took about an hour to do from prep through clean up and the shower was ready to use in eight hours. A bit ugly but completely repaired for less than 1/20th of replacement cost.
I'm sure this is made in China or India... I called the Manufacturer ( www.devcon.com ) and complained about the poor quality of the fiberglass and uselessness of the almond pigment. They were polite, apologized and are sending me a free kit for any future cracks.
While not 100% satisfied, it did work better than expected and saved me several hundred dollars. I would use this product again.
Did I mention this stuff sets up fast?
Good luck!
