I am a complete amateur! I don't do "Do it yourself' projects," but I'm living in a rental house right now that is over 50 years old, and my bathroom had a horrible blue bathtub that had chips and stains all over it! Obviously, I'm not putting a lot of money into a house I don't own, but I hated that bathtub so much! It felt dirty every time I got in it no matter how much I cleaned. So---I had already painted and epoxied the horrible blue counter, and that turned out beautiful (mixed in some pearl pigment, the whole counter looks like pearl marble now). So--I figured if I could do a counter, why not a bathtub? I read up about different products, and nearly everyone seemed to have had total failures with the cheap Rust-oleum products, so I decided I'd rather put a little more money into it and get it right the first time! I was so proud of myself! I work 40 hrs. a week, so I had to devote weekends to prepping the tub, and I literally spent two weekends on it. I scrubbed it with everything, sanded it twice, fixed the chips. Then I poured the stuff and got started! Oh my God! You know that video where the guy goes through it so fast and makes it look like it is the easiest thing in the world? Looked like he never even spilled a drop? I should have made a video of myself doing it, and they could have played that one first and called it, "What not to do!" I had paint everywhere! My nice taped plastic came up 10 minutes after I started, and it was crumbling up all over the place, hitting the sides of the tub, and my comb and trowel kept getting lost in it. I had paint covering half my face, my neck, both arms, one of my ears, both feet and my stomach (never quite figured out how it got there)! I was sweating like a pig after 10 minutes in that hot bathroom! If you sweat--it's a problem because you can't get this stuff wet. I sweated a lot of drops into it. I did figure out that I could tell the difference between the sweat and the bubbles because the sweat had a yellowish look to it, and those drops wouldn't go away with the heat gun like the bubbles would. It was actually fixable if I went over it with some more paint, but I had to constantly turn around and wipe my face on a hanging towel (be sure you have one because your gloved hands are going to be covered in paint, so you can't just pick up a towel and wipe your face). Also, if you are a sweater, tie a tight headband around your head to catch some of the sweat. Given the fact that my plastic was all over the place instead of taped in front of the tub, when I poured the paint on the outside, I had about a five inch pool on the floor all along the outside of the tub. Luckily, I'm planning to cover the old ugly linoleum with stick tiles anyway (which cost $8 a box at Roses), so it was no big problem for me, but I'm sure it would be for someone who plans to keep their floor. After an hour and a half, I was so hot and so tired and so thirsty that I thought I'd die if I didn't get out of there. I had just tried to fix a couple of places on the front, and I had drips running all over the place, and it looked horrible. I thought, "Okay, it was worth a try. I'll just have to scrape it all off." Then, I went out and went to the other bathroom and spent 30 minutes pouring acetone all over myself trying to get the paint off. My clothes went into the garbage--don't even think you're going to be able to save your clothes so wear something you hate! Once I was finally clean and cleaned up the paint marks on the floor where I tracked it with my bare feet, and had a nice glass of ice tea, I felt better--when to my horror I suddenly realized I hadn't taken the tape off the drains! I think I actually cried a little at the thought of going back in there. But when I went in, I was amazed that all that dripping on the front was gone, and it was level! Taking the tape off the drains was a nasty little mess--nothing like the easy little job they did in the video, but I did manage to get them off. The RESULT! After all that mess and sweating and crumpled plastic---the tub turned out perfect! There is not a single drip or mistake anywhere! It looks like a new tub! So, the moral of this story is---if I could do this with all of my amateur mistakes--ANYONE can do it. If you put your time into the prep work, it's really hard to mess this up, (even though doing it is a horrible mess--you just have to know that going in and decide whether saving a few thousands bucks on a tub is worth a couple hours of mind-numbing horror!) I LOVE the new tub! Wish I had some pictures, but I have the first Trac Phone that was ever invented, and it doesn't take pictures, do voicemail, and sometimes it doesn't even ring. So--I'll have to leave it all to your imagination, but I'm thrilled! My bathtub looks amazing! After all of that--I'd try buy this stuff & try it again!

never thought i could reglaze a bathtub myself but I watched the how-to video a few hundred times and and the tub turned out looking brand new. It super durable if you prep sand and clean it correctly. I tried those spray ones before and they do not even compare. I will definitely buy again!! thank you! A+ product.It does get messy so be sure to tape and cover everything you don't want the glaze on. Take your time and don't rush and it'll turn out professional. btw no stench either

This project is a tremendous amount of work, much more difficult than the instruction video conveys.It took me a solid 2.5 days to scrape off the previous enamel from the tub. The written directions say, if you have a previously enabled tub, to use a scraper and to OPTIONALLY use paint stripper to remove it. The optional use of paint stripper was a total joke in my case - it was a requirement! I would have saved myself some trips to Lowe’s if I had bought 3-4 cans of Jasco spray on paint stripper and about 20 razor scraper blades to begin with. Just be sure to use appropriate safety practices and personal protective equipment when using paint stripper.The enamel pouring process was messy. With the solo cup in one hand, and the plastic spreader tool in the other hand, I found that I immediately had two sources of constant enamel drip coming from my hands that I had to be diligently aware of for the 2-3 hour period of pouring and managing the spread of the enamel. Have a can of isopropyl / denatured alcohol and a ton of paper towels in the room so you can clean up spilled enamel from the tile and other surfaces before it sets.One other thing. The written directions and the instruction video have some discrepancies between each other. For example, they provide different guidance on what the ambient room temperature should be in the bathroom to ensure the enamel cures properly. One of them calls for the room being fairly warm, I think over 75F. The other calls for a more comfortable temperature, like 68F+. I went with closer to 69-70F and it appears to have worked out fine. Further, if you have the room at 75F+, you will be sweating profusely throughout this project and will likely end up hospitalized. Even at the 68F temp I was sweating a lot and it was dripping into the tub which was not desirable.One thing the directions don’t warn you about is the fact that hairs and other debris will magically appear on the tun in the hours after you pour it and remain engrained in the tub permanently. I recommend deep cleaning your bathroom and any area of the house you will be going into and back into the bathroom while the enamel is curing. Then turn off the air to prevent the bathroom vent from stirring things up into the air. Also, especially if you have pets, lint roll yourself before entering the bathroom.I give 4 stars because of the instructions discrepancies and it he fact that the video catfishes you into thinking this is an easy project. But I love the end result.
