Safety & Clean Up

• Liquid products found within this kit are solvent-borne and are highly flammable. Care should be taken to avoid the inhalation of spray mist or vapors, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes. Always keep work areas well-ventilated and wear personal protective equipment – respirator, eyewear, & gloves. Keep away from flame, children, animals, and individuals sensitive to fumes. Always ensure nearby surfaces are covered and protected.
• The cleaning solvent for this paint is Xylene or a similar substitute. In the event of spills, ensure that Xylene is appropriate and safe to use on intended surfaces as there’s a risk of serious and permanent damage to surfaces such as linoleum, plastics, wood, and anything previously painted. See additional safety notes at the end of this document.

Directions

• NOTE: This kit may be used for bathtubs, tile, wall surrounds, sinks, & more!

• STEP 1: Clear the tub of all personal items. Make sure there is positive air flow and adequate ventilation in the work areas at all times. CLEAN TUB THOROUGHLY! Scrub the bathtub with Ajax® or Comet® while focusing on areas with heavy soap buildup – use steel wool if needed.

• NOTE: ANY soap residue present may prevent bonding and cause failure.

• OPTIONAL: Use a razor blade or sharp scraper to remove the caulk around the bathtub or walls. You may or may not elect to do this dependent upon individual situations. Not necessary, but recommended.

• STEP 2: With a single-edge razor blade, scrape down the bathtub thoroughly. Keep special attention to areas under the soap tray and drain area. Wipe all scrapings and foreign materials into a trash bag. Keep this bag for debris nearby while working on this project.

• NOTE: NEVER place tools or scrapers directly on unprotected surfaces such as toilet seat covers, countertops, or linoleum floors.

• STEP 3: Wear protective gloves and eyewear. Using TSP, Comet®, or Ajax® – mix with enough warm water to make a paste and apply over the entire surface. Scrub the bathtub or walls thoroughly with a Scotch-Brite® pad or sponge with the etching cleaner mixture.

• STEP 4: Rinse the surface well after scrubbing. Water may be used from the bathtub or a bucket of water. While the bathtub or walls are still damp, sand the surface entirely using 120-grit sandpaper. Rinse well after.

• STEP 5: Place a glove or a plastic bag over the tub spout and shower head to ensure water does not drip onto the surface while undergoing resurfacing. Using a blow dryer or strong wet vacuum, blow water out of drain and wall areas. When the surfaces are completely dry, use blue painter’s tape to mask off walls around the bathtub and tub drain.

• NOTE: Drying surfaces completely, especially at the drain, is critical to the success of the refinishing coating. ANY moisture while resurfacing will result in product and bonding failure.

• NOTE: Any repairs, if needed, should be made before using a tack cloth.

• STEP 6: Using a tack cloth, rub over the entire surface to remove all foreign materials from the areas. The bathtub or wall surfaces should now be smooth, completely cleared, and ready to be rolled with the refinishing product.

• CAUTION: In the following steps – proper ventilation, gloves, and eyewear are strongly recommended. Use all paint products with caution.

• STEP 7: Retrieve the liquid primer from the kit. Empty contents into a paper towel and then apply to surfaces intended for refinishing, ensuring that all surfaces are covered completely. Dispose of used paper towels in a closed plastic bag (to minimize fumes) when complete. Allow the primer to dry on the surface for 5 minutes.

• STEP 8: Retrieve paint materials from the kit (Part A – Refinishing Paint and Part B – Hardener.) Empty contents from both bottles into the provided Mixing Container and mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with a stir stick until completely dispersed. Exercise caution to not create air bubbles while mixing. Allow mixed paint to sit for 5 minutes.

• NOTE: The “pot-life” for this product mixture is approximately 2-3 hours (at 70°F) this is the time frame you have to complete this project before any mixed paint becomes unusable.

• STEP 9: Pour enough mixed paint into the provided Non-Slip Additive container to fill it to about 3/4 full. Mix well until dispersed. Pour the mixture into the center of the tub floor. Using a 2″ sponge roller, or a suitable substitute, roll an oval or rectangular shape in the desired Non-Slip area. Allow to set for 10 minutes.

• STEP 10: Pour the remaining paint mixture into a paint tray, ensuring that there is proper surface protection underneath the tray and the tray is in good condition. Next, using a 2″ foam brush, use a dab application technique to paint around all edges and areas where a roller will not fit. Then, using a 4″ high-density foam roller, roll the inside walls of the tub. Following, roll the bottom and up the curves of the tub. Additionally, roll the top edge of the tub (leaving the top deck surface for last.) Next, roll the front of the tub. Finally, roll the top surface.

• NOTE: Remember to use a good amount of paint material while rolling. Never “dry-roll” as it will result in product failure. This is very important.

• OPTIONAL: A second coat may be applied right away following the same pattern. Ensure that you do not lean on wet surfaces.

• NOTE: Dispose of all unused materials and debris immediately after completing the project. Obey all state, city, & town codes for proper paint disposal.
  See the “Safety” section at the end of these instructions for more details.

• STEP 11: After allowing the coating to set for 24 hours, carefully remove the tape by pulling at a 45-degree angle. Please allow refinished surfaces to dry 48 hours before use. If the caulk was removed before resurfacing, reapply using 100% Silicone caulk once surfaces are dry. Allow the caulk to dry, and rinse refinished surfaces with warm water before use.

BATHTUB CARE TIPS

Congratulations!

• Your bathtub or bath fixture has just been resurfaced with the finest product in the tub and tile coating industry. Follow these care tips to maintain the beauty of your surface.
• Treat as if this is a brand new bathtub; remove excess water and wipe dry after each use.
• Always be certain faucets are tightly closed and the shower pipe is drained after each use.
• DO NOT rest any soap bottles, spray cans, or wet clothes on the surface for extended periods.
• NEVER use hair dye in a refinished bathtub.
• If bathing pets in the bathtub, always place a towel down to prevent scratches.

Bathmats

• If you do not have the non-slip system applied to your surface and you find it to be too slippery, you may use a NON-SUCTIONED bathmat or a towel (these must be picked up after each use.) Do not hang the mat or towel over the bathtub.
• The use of a suctioned bathmat or stick-on strips will cause failures of the resurface coating.

Cleaning

• Even though the bathtub does not look dirty, it should be cleaned at least once a week with a liquid NON-ABRASIVE cleaner (Scrubbing Bubbles®, 409®, or Fantastic® are recommended products.)
• NEVER use bleach or abrasive cleaners (Ajax®, Comet®, or Soft Scrub®) on a refinished surface. If the non-slip protection system is applied to the bottom of your bathtub, you may use Soft Scrub® on that area if needed.

Remember

• If you treat your new surface with respect, clean it regularly, and keep your taps dry – your tub will stay beautiful and radiant for years to come! Use Bathworks® Cleaner and Polishing Kit for the ultimate shine and protection! www.bath-works.net
