Our Ekopel Pour On and Roll-On kits are designed for a standard bathtub. In this case, one full size kit of Pour On and an additional 1/2 gallon size kit (sold as the sink kit) OR a Roll On Tub & Surround kit would be enough material to complete the project.

If it is possible to disconnect the bath drain, we recommend doing it. It may be possible to disconnect the plastic pipe independently through the access panel. If you cannot remove the bath drain, then close the drain hole.

Fill the drain hole with a paper towel. Seal the bathtub drain tightly with masking tape and carefully cut the masking tape along the contour of the bathtub drain. Disconnect or seal the upper part of the bathtub dreain pipe with masking tape.

We do not recommend opening the window because dust, dirt, and insects can get into the surface that has not yet dried up.

Silicone can be applied to the hardened material.

Masking tape, which is glued to the wall of the bathtub and located above the coating, should be removed immediately after applying the material. The masking tape, which protects the bathtub's "front apron" as well as tape covering the drain should be removed after the material stops dripping, which is about 5-6 hours after application.

After 24 hours, if the temperature in the bathroom is no less than 72ºF, the material becomes sufficiently hard enough to take a bath. If the temperature is 70ºF, then the bathtub can be used in 36 hours after application. 

It is recommended to wait 7 days after the application before placing pots, bottles of shampoo or body wash, or cleaning pets in the bathtub. Usage of colorants, such as hair color, or various products with colorants which are used for taking a bath can be used 14 days after Ekopel application.

If for any reason you must use a heat gun, the recommended temp is between 200-250 degrees. Keep in mind you can burn the material so work cautiously.

We recommend Scrubbing Bubbles and Tilex (WITHOUT BLEACH) to our customers. For in depth cleaning, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works well. Any acrylic-safe, nonabrasive cleaner is the best option.

For long-term care, quarterly polishing with our Bathtub Wax is highly encouraged. The helps to keep the tub easy to clean and prevents the need for hard scrubbing, which can ultimately wear down the shine over time.

The coating can last for 15-20 years or more if all recommendations for applying the material are followed in conjunction with proper and careful maintenance.

Ekopel can be ordered in the following colors: Gray, Biscuit, White and Black. To order a tined kit please send an email or call 1-877-TUB-CAST.

No! Once it is mixed it smells like a spray cleaner; very light, not intense, and quickly disappears. It is not absorbed by clothes.

Is it possible to color your hair in the bathtub/shower?

Hair Color may be rinsed in the Ekopel coated shower after waiting a full 14 days for the curing process to complete. It is vital to wash the bathtub immediately after using the colorant so that the colorant does not penetrate into the material.

Ekopel is a very thick product. It is one of the things that makes it so durable. Roll-On Ekopel dries about 10x thicker than other painted or sprayed materials and Pour On Ekopel is about 20x thicker. 

If you have Ekopel in an unwanted area (like flooring) simply heat up the area with a heat gun or hair dryer, and then scrape off what you can. After, use acetone to aid in further removal. If it's on your skin acetone & soap and water can be used. 

Yes, it is but we still recommend rinsing the mat off and hanging it to dry after each shower.

The material has been tested by the German Institute ISEGA and complies with the standards DIN EN 71-3 (Safe for children) and it is harmless when it comes into contact with skin. During the mixing and application of the material, we recommend using standard protection equipment for skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Cured material can be disposed of as general household waste. Mix residues of liquid components together and, after curing, dispose of it as household waste.

The shelf life is 2 years. Store the product in a dry place, in a firmly closed container, at the temperature 50 to 70ºF. If the product gets frozen, it must be stored in a warm place for 24 hours before it can be used.

As soon as the recasting/refinishing application is dry, a non-slip kit can be applied.

Pour On Ekopel 2k is a thick, glossy, shiny, smooth finish. Roll-On Ekopel is just as durable, glossy, and shiny with a little more orange peel look to it.

While Ekopel can handle some heat, Ekopel can be burned and isnotheat resistant. You will want to be careful with hair straighteners, curling irons, etc. as they can burn and melt the material.
