Pond Shield Pond Armor SKU-CLEAR-QT-R Non-Toxic Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Clear

Arrived damaged and one pot had leaked into the box but there was enough left for what we needed fortunately. Was a little tricky to work out the different mixes we needed for each coat but was easy to apply and worked well. We coated 2 metal containers we are using as water features and so far it's doing a great job. Would recommend although it is expensive.

This was the only product that would work with sealing g a copper pot water feature so I could put fish in the pond. Highly recommend and easy to apply.

Premeasured was a nice surprise. Easy to work with...I did put product in to slow down the whole process. Without a doubt I would buy this again.

Es un producto excelente, pero el único queja es que necesita dos capas y un 1.5 Quart solo cubre una capa de 4 M2 en nuestro caso.

I'll just add my comments to the general chorus of approval. After reading the other reviews, I was meticulous about following the instructions and had no bad experiences, nevertheless I may have marginally over-diluted the first coat (a splash too much alcohol), but it set without any problems. As others have said, they possibly over-estimate the coverage, it'd be very difficult I think to spread it thinly enough to make the 60 sq feet they claim, though in their defence they do include a sort of depth gauge to help with that. The area I had to cover, the base of an ornamental fountain was much less than that, around 30 sq ft, and that used up virtually the whole batch, although admittedly it ended up probably more thickly-coated than the recommendation and there was some excess which I pushed up the side walls. Also, I'd guess that most people will need to follow the instructions for 'rough' surfaces, possibly the only surface that would qualify as smooth would be some sort of polished stone or tile, my surface was very smooth concrete and even that seemed to limit the spreadability a little. But having said that, it's not particularly hard to work with, I used an old brush and that was able to push the stuff around, I was working on a flat surface so I just poured out a small amount then used the brush to spread it. The key is to work in manageable sections, don't mix too much at a time, but you can still cover a biggish flat area in the 30 minutes or so you have before the coating starts to set. I did my job with 2 separate mixes, but I reckon I could've done it with one. Fully coating more varied or uneven surfaces might be problematic, I think it could be done though, you'd just need to be even more careful about the amount you mix up. And in those cases you'd definitely need 2 coats - it'd be easy to miss nooks and crannies and any little air bubbles in the mixture seem to end up creating tiny spots that could need touching up on a thin coat. I got away with the need for that as my single coat ended up so thick! You need to be careful to avoid putting it where you don't want it, wiping it off is not easy - some drops I thought I'd adequately cleaned turned out to be still there, but one advantage of it being so thick is that it's hard to splash around, my downfall was once dropping the brush (doh!) and also having the stuff on my fingers and being forgetful what I touched. I got the worst of it off my hands with alcohol, but disposable latex gloves would have been a better way to work probably. The finish when set is shiny and tough, very slightly opaque (though that may have been a result of the extra thickness of the coat) and looks great either under water or out of it. It's not cheap, but in the end it did exactly what I wanted and I have every confidence it will last, I'd already wasted money and time on other products that weren't as good, so really had I used this stuff first, it would've been the most economical option.

The membrane of this product is outstanding, before Io used this product, it ha water leaks, after using this product, magic, no more water leaks! the cost was on the high side, but definitely worth it
