Pond Armor SKU-CBLUE-GA Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Gallon, Competition Blue

I used this for a DIY stock tank hot tub build and actually mixed 2 parts blue with 1 part green and it looked like a really cool teal color. Set up was complicated (felt like a chemist) and you only have like 5-10 min of it being easy to spread (even with the added isopropyl alcohol)… it was so sticky and hard to move that my roller kept coming off…TIPS:1. Use a foam roller. I know directions say to not do that, but we noticed a TON of air bubbles when we used a regular roller and we had to sand them down and do a 3rd coat. So our fav was to use dollar store mini foam rollers2. It gets EVERYWHERE, so be sure to use a drop cloth and clothes and gloves you don’t care about… will easily rip through medical plastic gloves so I suggest using some thicker gloves like dish washing gloves or the reusable ones from Home Depot… also expect to throw every single tool away after this because the stickiness never comes off3. BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT SCRATCH IT OFF - so after we finished the hot tub, I had a contractor build a wood lip to surround the top. And, I didn’t know this till later, but he had scratched off some of the coating when he sanded down the wood edge. This allowed the water to get behind the coating and the WHOLE THING peeled off in one piece (kinda like a gel manicure) after about a week or 2. It was incredibly upsetting since it took us hours to install and we had guests at the house who wanted to use the new hot tub..it was embarrassing to say the least

LOVE THIS STUFF!Such much more slick and modern then the old school rubber liner! Highly recommend for above ground ponds/pools!The black color didn't heat up as much as you would think though it was in the shade 100% of the time. If you cover a 6ft stock tank itll take the entire gallon of black (with some extra) top bottom did it all as a rust-prevention and it did well!The competition blue is stunning! If you do a stock tank 8ft x 2ft (900-ish gallons) you'll only have enough to do 1 good coat with some extra for touch-ups. If you want to cover the sides and bottom then you will need to order 2 gallons! Make sure to clean and sand your tank like the directions say!Clear instructions, beautiful colors, great durability and safe for my fish! I would buy again! Just wish it was cheaper..Stuff will dye your skin and will give you maybe 20min of work time before it is to thick to spread so plan ahead!

I build a wide range of either fully aquatic or with water features incorporated. I've never had one fail. The key is to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS

After all the other steps before researching and listening to everyone say.. skip the fixes and invest in the pond armor.. I eventually invested in the pond armor. No leaks, happy koi. I did this alone over the course of 2 days. Heading into my first winter and will update if there are any changes in quality. But so far, money well spent.. unlike my many attempts beforehand.

The blue was deep and rich . I got three coverings . Sealed up perfectly .

This is a good product but I lost half of my first batch because it dried before I could apply it second batch I lost one forth because it dried to fast

Terrible product. I bought 1.5 gallon for a 4x8 plywood aquarium. Applied according to directions and it has leaked ever since I set up. Have spent over $100.00 on other products trying to get the leak to stop. Will have to tear down completely. Very disappointed in this product. Would not recommend.

The second time around . I have applied this product on my pool a few years back . It worked well . I put a second coat on for a consistent color only . I'm hoping that the price will come down soon
