Also a mixing tip ... mix parts A and B in a cup and then pour the mixed material into your paint tray. This is the same thing with epoxy resin - it is virtually impossible to mix the sides of the container well so by pouring from a mixing container into your paint tray you don't end up with un-mixed epoxy on the sides. The epoxy that does not get fully mixed can sometimes never cure and will make a sticky awful mess. So to recap - mix parts A&B and alcohol in a mixing container then pour those contents into your final container used for application.

Looks good Chrissy, now I know. Thank you for sharing

That pool looks awesome!! Thanks for showing us all the steps to do this I’m going to have to give it a go thanks Chrissy 😊

Keep rollin!!

Great job crazy looks great

Anchors away that looks very refreshing nice job,

That looks absolutely amazing

you did amazing job on the stock tank pool

We are going to paint the bottom of our stock tank with the pond shield soon. Thanks for the information

Chrissy - such an awesome pool 💦ENJOY💖

Your video was SOOOO HELPFUL!!! Thank you so much. I used two boxes as well and had issues with rust. Can’t wait to fill!

There are a few essential steps / tips that I would like to add for our new Epoxy / Tank Pool coating users : 1. I DO NOT advise to execute this project for esthetic purposes. Only if it is needed (for rusted pool for example) . It is not an easy project. Applying coat is not the same as painting walls. The relatively small size of the pool may be misleading . It is still a lot of effort. I am sure everyone here can agree that the project may take a couple of days. 2. Paint roller DOES NOT do well with the Epoxy. It is a heavily coated material and the brush is just too soft. The coat will stay on the brush and will damage it. Naturally the coat application won't be even. I suggest to use a heavy wide brush 3. Mixing - 2 : 1 ration is ok. However I would suggest to mix 2.5 (paint) : 1 (coat) to achieve a thicker color. The standard Epoxy boxy shipped from Amazon 48 fl oz , will allow the ratio. Keep in mind that for a Stock Tank Pool of a size of 8 foot , you will need (At LEAST!!!) 4 packages of paint (In the video it may seem that 1 package is enough? very unlikely) 4. I recommend to allow the paint to dry completely after each application . There is a difference with how the thickness of the paint may look over time. It is different from when it was first applied. 5. Apply the paint from the top layers , painting around the pool and to the bottom , when the bottom part of the pool is painted last. When the paint is applied , it may leak / drip with the gravity (which is a good thing - it makes the paint thicker on the lower levels). For heavy leaking , I suggest to keep wiping it with a towel. 6. I can't stress this enough . One container is hardly enough. The paint is faded when applying 1 or 2 layers. You will need at least 4 packages of paint. 7. It's a "messy" project and I would advise to do the project and the mixing outdoors. This paint may not come off from the basement floor . Use gloves! 8. The mixing can be done in the painting tray , to reduce waste. I would like to say thanks for the video. It helped me to kick off my project. Thank you!

I love the epoxy color and the fact that it is epoxy! Much prettier than rusty metal, I just wish you would’ve put down another, thicker layer on the floor but other than that it’s beautiful

I made the same mistake. I heated the epoxy up a little to help eliminate bubbles but I heated it up a little more than I usually do and I mixed 1 gallon total. Within 5 minutes it was smoking and boiling and the plastic bucket was melting. Dumped a gallon of water on it to help cool it down. 3 hours later, it was still almost too hot to touch.

!anchor! It’s pretty

We used the same product but used the super pure dark blue color and used 4 kits total for extra thick coating. Also added some traction grit into the epoxy to make it non slip.

Did you epoxy over the stock tank's sealant (at the seam), or did you remove this first?

I just finished printed ours! We used a primer before we used the epoxy. Can you share details for the water fall please?

So it’s been 11 months is the epoxy still holding up no chipping or anything? We are getting ready to do ours just wanted to make sure you’re not having any issues

How has it held up so far?

I got the white and it is pretty much clear. I’m so upset. It’s not opaque at all!

Will this peel? Anyone done anything like this a year or two ago and still happy with the paint?

Hi sweet lady, I'm Lilah Newton 😁 (temporary name change) I love your pool 💯💜

Mix it baby. Lol

Which part is the hardener, part A or part B? Add just a tad less hardener and it will take longer to harden giving you more work time.

Be careful -- it is really not a good idea to mess with the ratios in any epoxy - you can end up with a sticky gooey mess that never completely cures ( it is a chemical process that was engineered for a certain ratio ). For instance - too much hardener can actually make it take longer to cure which is the opposite of what you would think. Small batches are the key - as well as following manufacturer recommendations about working times etc. This manufacturer recommends the IPA for thinning it out - not sure if the IPA extends the working time or not.

It's a rubber like coating that's applied in liquid form. In my semi professional opinion. A traditional rubber ( pond liner ) is far easier and cheaper . However if you have a issue with leaking . This will seal it

I don’t wanna just criticize, but this paint job won’t last long at all. Y’all should have sand blasted off that heavy rust first. Unless I missed a part where you said you couldn’t care less how long it lasts. I wish y’all well, but you can NEVER paint over rust unless the product specifically says to paint over rust. 🤷🏻
