Pond Armor SKU-SKYBLUE-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Sky Blue

Great product! Made my giant concrete bird bath bullet proof! Only one problem, I ordered sky blue but I recieved a beige. I had already opened the product and didn’t realize part A was the color and had poured some in a measuring cup. Still looks great but a little disappointed it wasn’t the sky blue. It was very easy to work with and the instructions are very clear. Would make sure I had sky blue before pouring next time.

love the color and the gloss shine. product worked well for my 350 gallon minnow bait tank in the store. with the high gloss it has, it made it easy to wipe and clean the tank went needed. product has awesome durability and adhesion to the fiberglass tank. product was easy to apply and mix the two part together.

Great product but beware of mixing too much in too small a container. I did the first batch no problem, but then I mixed the next batch in a small container and it became extremely hot and basically curdled and became unworkable. The directions say you should mix in small batches and it probably says you should not put it in a small container and it is absolutley true. Make sure you do small batches in a container with a large surface area so that it doesn't become too hot and become unsuable.

I did not enjoy working with this stuff. We made one batch with not the exact measurements and spent 2 weeks scrubbing the pond with acetone to get it off. The picture is of my pond after one summer's use using the sky blue color.

I built a concrete goldfish pond in my back yard and it was 12 years old so the coating was wearing off and needed a new coat. I went with this and it worked well. Be sure to stir the 2 parts thoroughly. I used a stir stick for my cordless drill which worked great. Ran the drill in reverse at slow speed and mixed the two parts thoroughly in 1min. Then I used a thick nap roller to spread the coating which also worked well. Be sure to have everything ready to go before you mix the epoxy as it starts setting up in about 15-20mins. Also be sure to wear gloves as it will be hard to get off your hands and might be irritating too. It has been about a month now and I am happy with the purchase. The pond is sealed and fish are happy.

Purchased this product 2 years ago. Was instantly disappointed with the inaccuracy of the coverage claim -- the advertised “60 sq ft coverage” is MISLEADING at best. This is an acute problem because the product dries in about 30 minutes and, if you need to do an additional application, you have <10 hours to do so before you need to sand the old epoxy. Realizing this, I called the company to, if nothing else, make sure my application process was not the issue. I recieved no support. Now, 2 years on, the product has weathered poorly so I am ofering this review on how the product ages in a real-world setting and including some detail on the misleading claim on product coverage. MISLEADING COVERAGE: Yes, you technically can spread 1.5 qt of a liquid over a 60 square foot surface at 10mils thickness. In theory. Unfortunately, under any reasonable definition of "real-world application," you are more likely to see 30 or less square feet. ABOUT ONE-HALF OF WHAT YOU PAID FOR. Unless you are in a laboratory at 72 degrees, coating a perfectly smooth, non-porous and perfectly flat surface, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY you will see 60 sq ft. In reality, you will lose product in the cans, mixing containers (3-4), brush or roller (unless you squeegee), paint tray (unless you pour), settling/drips, and some unavoidable uneven application. If you have corners or vertical walls, the issue is compounded. I just wish the company would be more up-front with what they must know is a reality, given this product has a limited lifespan after mixing and at that point it is too late. If you must buy, budget for 30-50% extra. LONGEVITY: Out of the can, product appears high quality. Unfortunately, over time the color fades quickly (~2 years in partial sun, under a screen cover). Now, the product has promoted algae growth greater than unfinished concrete in same environment.

I purchased 2 sets of the pond shield for our 8ft stock tank pool & it was the perfect amount of coverage. I (precisely) followed the directions for galvanized metal application & it came out beautifully perfect. A few pro tips I gathered from multiple blogs, articles & You Tube videos: 1. This absolutely MUST be applied under the perfect atmospheric conditions. 80% humidity & 98 degree weather in Houston was far below ideal so I improvised with a large fan that redirected the AC from inside my house to the attached garage. It was definitely NOT energy efficient but the only way the pond shield could be applied before January. It also helped to keep debris & bugs from falling in by doing this project in the (extremely well ventilated) garage. 2. I used 6 cans of Rustoleum self etching primer spray paint to completely cover the inside. Be sure to wear a mask & shop vac the dry dust that will be left behind before applying the epoxy so you have a clean surface. 3. Definitely use alcohol to thin out the mixture. The instructions say it’s an optional step but for this application it helped make the epoxy more spreadable & extended the time to apply it. 4. Low nap fabric rollers are a must. Foam rollers will disintegrate immediately. 6. 2 coats makes the epoxy thick enough that it won’t easily be scratched or damaged but you’ll still have noticeable drips on the sides. Once it’s full of water you won’t notice. 7. Apply epoxy to the sides first (both 1st & 2nd coats) so you can apply from the inside of the stock tank & make sure you get into every groove & ridge. Then apply to the bottom from outside of the tank with a roller on an extension pole. 8. I sprinkled a little bit of leveling sand on top of the final coat for slip resistance & I’m soooo glad I did. This stuff is super slippery to stand on when it’s completely submerged in water. The sand in the epoxy has saved quite a few butts. 9. Wait a solid 24 -48 hours (depending on how humid it is outside) before putting water in. I waited 4 days just to be safe. 10. Even with 2 coats of epoxy paint on the sides, underwater magnetized LED lights have no problem attaching. Overall the entire project turned out better than we could’ve ever hoped for due, in large part, to Pond Shield.

I rebuilt our nearly 30 year old concrete cattle waterer and I used this Pond Armor 2 part epoxy to resurface the bowl. The original light blue coating was worn. I mixed this according to instructions and I had about 20 minutes to apply it. I used a brush to apply it. A bit thicker than oil based paint, but still brushed fine. I’m pleased with the result and would use this again. Our horses were a bit timid of this new finish, but drank from it a few hours later. Must have been thirsty enough to get over it. Usually takes one critter to work up the courage. The rest usually follow.

You get what you pay for

Ho acquistato questo prodotto nel 2019 ad 80 EUR (quando negli USA costava circa 80 USD). Ora dovrei riacquistarlo a 160~200 EUR quando negli USA si trova anche a 59 USD (circa 55 EUR)? Ho controllato la quantità....è lo stesso formato da 1.5 quarti di gallone (circa 1.4 litri) ... il prodotto è notoriamente ottimo...ma...il prezzo è assurdo...mi costa meno comprarlo da amazon usa e farmelo spedire....

Good product, have applied in two coats to my project, and havent had any issues

Use the alcohol to mix, makes the job infinitely easier. Finishes like glass, was perfect for my cold plunge freezer project. Highly recommended.
