Gelcoat Products 58-204 Tub and Shower Repair Kit Sealers, White

Great Value, Easy to use, the look and the size was easy to store its been a month since use the quality is Amazing.

This worked very well. Easy instructions. Be sure to read them and follow =DThere is a strong smell so cover your mouth and nose. Wear gloves. Be sure to have the exhaust fan on and open a window if you can. If you have a floor fan that would be good tooThe order goes away really fast as the stuff is drying.This is really white so you can see in the photo the difference. Apparently my stall is a tad off white. The photo really picks up the white. Just looking at it with out camera it blends well. I have had it on for a couple weeks and it is holding up so well.I tried to get someone in to just fix the couple spots. Oh my, they want to redo the entire shower stall $9,000 Come on ???Thank you for having this productIrene

It fixed my tub but the color doesn't match.

I had a small chip (1/8"w x 3/16"l x 1/16" deep) in the bottom of the shower. After shopping and reading reviews this product appeared to be the best. IMO they should give more instructions for using a smaller amount. 1/2 jar is probably going to be way too much for most repairs. I used an amount equal what I could dip out with the stick. Probably about the size of the end of my little finger. I mixed in 2 drops of hardener. I applied it with a small, flat toothpick which worked very well. Pushed it into the chip and then overfilled it as directed to account for shrinking. After about an hour I checked what I had on the small piece of cardboard and it was fairly well set but still very slightly pliable.I never wanted to sand this so what I did is to take a brand-new razor blade and carefully slice off small slices off the stop until it was flush. It worked out perfectly! No sanding and re-sanding and polishing or any of that. I wanted to avoid sanding because when that is done you are taking away some of the existing gelcoat which seem counterintuitive to me. You have to be careful and hold the razor blade parallel with the surface but IMO this is the best way to do this in my particular situation.

The stick is great for stirring but the wrong tool for application of the gel sealer. Really should include a flexible plastic applicator with a flat 3/4"-1" straight blade on one end and a rounded 1/2" -3/4" diameter rounded edge on the other end to fit into countours. A wooden stick does not work well for application. Stick applicator left uneven edges in a corner repair area. As a result, I sanded down the gel sealer too much and the darker base material started to show through. I had to attempt a second coat this morning and when masking off the adjacent area I noted some of the first coat material was pulled up by the tape - not good adhesion for the product outside the crack I was trying to repair. The excess gel material I didn't use and which was stil on the cardboard appeared to be durable. I did use disposible latex gloves when making the second application as it is difficult to clean up the gell when it gets on your hands/under nails. I also used a gloved finger tip to spot coat a tight corner area where the applicator did not work. Recommend having some mineral spirits handy for cleanup since soap/water doesn't work if it gets on skin..I think the instructions were pretty good but they might include instructions or a video for masking off the area under repair, cleanup of any messes after application, and for using less than 1/2 jar amounts of the gel sealer.

Our fiberglass shower enclosure had a crack in it that kept expanding over time. While taking showers I'd watch the water run down the wall surface and seep into the crack and I kept thinking "I really should do something about that." After doing a bunch of research I landed on this product, and I obtained kits in both white and biscuit. The biscuit was the better option for my shower's color. Stuff include in the repair kit: Alcohol wipe, two part compound mix, sandpaper, polish, and a wooden spreader similar to a tongue depressor. Stuff I also needed for the repair and already owned: an old towel, a metal file, a blade, a plastic scraper, gloves, and cardboard scraps.1) I enlarged the crack with my blade, making extra space for the compound to fit into.2) I roughed up the surrounding surface with sandpaper to ensure it would adhere well.3) Cleaned up with a vacuum cleaner and wiped down all surfaces with the alcohol. I waited for that to air dry, about 10 minutes.4) Mixed several drops of hardener (clear tube) with the biscuit colored gel. Open a window first, the stuff is potent.5) Spread into the crack while the compound is still soft. It will harden over time but I got my repair area filled within a few minutes.6) I waited 2 hours for it to harden and then started wet sanding. First with 400 grit, then with 600 grit. I really had to take my time with this step to get the surface smooth and to sand away most of the compound to get the filled portion even with the original surface.7) Once the surface was even, the surrounding area was dull by comparison to the other areas of the shower. Using a cloth rag, rub the included polish all over the repair area and surrounding areas.8) Let dry for a day or two.All in all I'm satisfied with the repair. I think the finished patch is only slightly noticeable. From 10 feet away you can't see it, and when you're in the shower you probably won't notice it unless you know to look for it. 5 stars!

I was very happy with the results I got from this kit. The patch was solid and sanded smooth using the included products. Understand before you start this project, this stuff STINKS! The smell is a stronger version of what you get from new fiberglass, so make sure you're venting your work area well. It cleared up pretty quickly once I removed the leftover product at the patch started to dry, but while working with it, it's strong. Great results!
