Pond Armor SKU-WHITE-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, White, 48 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I wrote this review for the Clear as well. Love this product and the results, once I figured out how to work smartly with the material. It is tricky and when mixed you are on the clock. I called the company, discussed the technique and got all the tips. They were great about it. Make sure you rinse, run water and drain before final fill. Let water stand before introducing fish. Unlike my original concrete pond, this epoxy surface is easy to clean. Another plus is that it is safer on the fish scales as they glide or get pushed along the pond walls. I used the clear on the pond edge rocks, but the internal pond surface was boldly done in white epoxy. Beautiful! Another tip is ordering the right amount. Over order to be sure that you have extra just in case, or you will have to sand the surface after 24 hours for additional coats. Been there! It is pricey, but considering that the pond company wanted two thousand dollars we saved fifteen hundred. Get all the recommended armamentarium and watch the How To Do It Video online. Do it yourself! It is worth it.

Great product.They sell different kinds with different color bases so make sure you check and see that you're getting the color you want. I got the white and then I ordered colored tint seperately to change it to the color I wanted.Also, if you haven't used two part epoxy before, make sure you follow the instructions and mix it exactly as they say. Use measuring cups! If you get the measurements wrong it may never harden. I actually screwed up a little bit (closer to 1:1 mix) but its still hardened up on me so I guess I got lucky. But I did get nervous and I did some research and found out I could have made a big mistake! It's pretty simple though if you mix it as the directions say you're good to go, this stuff is great.P.S.I used it to paint the rocks in my saltwater fish tank to look like coraline algae. This stuff sticks to the rocks and is non-toxic and it looks amazing!

I gave Pond Shield a try after much research on the proper coating to use in a stock tank being converted to a pool. Based on the product being designed to be submerged in water and a dedicated section of their site on how to coat a stock tank, I felt this would be a solid option.I read the steps and instructions to where I had it memorized before the Pond Shield arrived and read them again multiple times prior to starting the project. I followed the prep exactly as recommended by Pond Shield, used the expensive SEM primer, followed the application steps exactly, mixed a small amount at a time and my result is terrible after 2 coats on the walls of the tank.Also worth mentioning it is the least forgiving product to work with. Every brush, roller or bondo spreader is trash after the first coat as the product hardens to the point that the bristles will snap off your brush. It is impossible to keep off your gloves if using the bondo spreader method as recommended by Pond Shield and in turn, your gloves will stick to every tool you are working with and overall make for a very frustrating experience.I also used two 1.5 qt kits for just the walls. I called the company to verify the amount needed for my tank and was instructed two of these kits was enough and would leave some excess. At this point I am out two kits and doubt I’ll be spending more on this product to finish the tank given the results. It might work for other applications, but I’d stay clear of it for use in a stock tank.

The above photos show the pressure wash cleaning needed to use this epoxy paint.The second picture shows after two coats. The mixed epoxy is very thin and drips a lot.I eventually put on three coats.Need to very carefully measure and mix the epoxy parts. Plastic mixing cups are recommended and should be included in kit.The base of the fountain was pressure washed and two coats applied.I have used this product before and it last about 4 years,I may try an acrylic paint next time.Update the last photo shows the fountain at the end of season. A pressure washer easily cleaned off the black goo stuff.Paint color was slightly changed, but ok. Nov 2021.

I used this to replace the bottom pane of a half circle aquarium. Trying to replace the broken bottom of a 140 gallon custom aquarium was too difficult, and expensive, so I was just going to throw it out. I remembered that I could waterproof plywood using Pond Armor, and cut it to my specifications. Pond armor is easy to apply, self levels, has a glass like finish, and I can bond it to glass using silicon. The project was a success, and no leaks. I Have been testing the integrity now for about a month, and it is holding strong.

I tried to use Pond Armor to seal a gunite shower. I brushed on fearing a roller would just suck up too much product. It went on heavy even with a brush and ran like a maratoner, non-stop. While brushing out the runs was OK early on, after about 30 minutes, it became sticky chewing gum and would level out. This was a basement shower, maybe 70F and working time was only 20-25 minutes, not 60. I ended up scrapper it all off and letting the residual cure before having to use an angle grinder with 40 grid to remove it. Also, I used white which would have required 2 coats because it did not hide dark imperfections very well. Second go round I used National Pools EHB which was much easier to work with, runs were easily addressed and has a much longer working time. Downside, cure time is longer, not 24 hours.
