You gotta be quick
This is great epoxy, but you have to have everything out, and be quick about it; it hardens within about 2 minutes after you expose it to air. Don't be alarmed when it gets quite hot (I wasn't expecting that, even though the directions warned about it). It also helps to submerge the packet in warm water for a few minutes to soften it up before you mix the two compounds (the manual tells you to do that, too).I used it to repair my tub about 6 weeks ago, and it's holding strong.

Worked Great, Poor Quality Control
First, a caveat:This is NOT a refinishing product. It is a PATCH. It will look like a patch, smell like a patch and never, ever make your tub ready for a Better Homes and Gardens photo shoot. Tub refinishing is expensive. If you spend $[. bucks and think your tub will look like new, you are a moron. You can tell the people who reviewed this poorly are morons with unrealistic expectations.The bad news:The kit says will repair a 5" crack. No, the fiberglass strips were short. The kits were less than 4" in one and the other was 4.5" the end of the shorter piece was so badly frayed so only about 3.5" was usable.I had a 7" crack in the shower pan of my RV so I had ordered two kits. I had barely enough to repair the crack.The almond pigment is useless, there is too little and the epoxy resin still comes out white, it also takes up valuable time mixing in the pigment. Chances are your almond has yellowed with age, so don't even bother mixing it...

White is Clear
A large chip in my refinished shower's shelf had to be filled in with epoxy putty. The "white" putty I used was actually more of a gray tint, so there were three different colors to cover up. Unfortunately, all three are still very visible. I did not use the white fiberglass cloth, which would have covered up the various colors.Also, the epoxy ran down the wall a little. The top looks nice and flat, but the bottom has a bump all along the bottom edge of the patched area.As other comments noted, you need to be fast. It took me 3 minutes or less to get it all mixed up, poured into the plastic, and ready to start "painting". It was too tacky at 5 minutes. Remember to start your timer as soon as you pop the seal between the resin and the hardener.
