Pond Armor SKU-TAN-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Tan, 48 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I found the paint very easy to mix and apply. It has made a huge difference to our pond, very pleased.

This is a great product and expect it to provide exceptional protection to my concrete water fountain. Made contact with the supplier and Bruce provided great support with answering my questions and anticipating/surfacing other beneficial points. I indicated my concern about comments regarding the 'clear' yellowing and followed Bruce's advice to avoid "pooling". With the 'clear' I also disregarded one video showing the epoxy being poured directly onto a bird bath and used a brush to make sure the epoxy wasn't over-applied. 'Etching' the concrete and then applying the epoxy took the fountain from a concrete grey to a rich darker grey and was very pleased with this look and was glad I didn't try to get exotic with applying stain(s). I ended up doing the complete fountain, as I wanted a uniform look, and had plenty left over from 1 package (would consider this a large but not a huge fountain). The estimate of 60 sq ft per package worked for me, but really, really would have sucked to be short so I'd say order an extra package if you're going to be close or have extenuating circumstances. I was sensitive to the 'working time' of the epoxy so mixed smaller batches which worked fine for my needs.

This is easy to mix and use, and the two parts will remain usable in their cans if you don't need it all at once. The working time of epoxy is about 20 minutes, so depending on what you're doing, you may or may not be able to spread it all before it hardens. In my experience, it goes from liquid to chunky to unusable in about three minutes on a warm day. It has a glossy finish when hardened.

This stuff works great for my leaky fountain basin due to cracks. It saved thousand of dollars for not having to buy a new fountain. It's been more than 2 years and this it still looks good......no fading of the tan color....no peeling.

I purchased this 1-quart kit of Pond Armor SKU-TAN-QT-R Non-Toxic Pond Shield to seal a newly repaired section of my concrete backyard water feature. Finding a fish-safe, non-toxic coating that actually holds up to constant submersion can be tough, but this epoxy delivers exactly what it promises.Here is my honest, hands-on breakdown of the application process, performance, and what you need to know before buying.1. Packaging & ContentsThe quart kit arrives with two parts (base resin and hardener) along with clear instructions. A single quart goes faster than you think because the consistency is quite thick. Make sure to accurately measure your surface area beforehand.2. Preparation (The Most Critical Step)If you do not prep your surface perfectly, any epoxy will fail. I thoroughly scrubbed, acid-etched, and completely dried my concrete surface. If there is any moisture trapped underneath, it will bubble.3. Mixing & ApplicationConsistency: It mixes into a very thick, paint-like material.Working Time: You have roughly 20–30 minutes of "pot life" depending on the ambient temperature. Do not mix the entire batch at once if you are working alone on a detailed area.Thinning: I highly recommend using a tiny amount of 91% Isopropyl alcohol (as permitted in their instructions) to make it more rollable.4. Curing & Fish SafetyThe tan color dried to a beautiful, clean, uniform finish. I let it cure completely for 72 hours before doing a full freshwater rinse. The non-toxic formula gives great peace of mind—my plants and goldfish have been back in the feature for weeks now with absolutely zero adverse reactions or water chemistry spikes.Pros & ConsPros: Truly fish-safe, beautiful tan finish, highly impact-resistant, stops leaks instantly.Cons: Very unforgiving if your surface preparation is rushed; short working window once mixed.Final VerdictThis is a commercial-grade product packaged for DIYers. It is expensive, but it completely eliminates the need for ugly rubber liners. Spend 90% of your time prepping the surface, and you will get a flawless, leak-free result. Highly recommended.

Great for outdoor ponds

We have a fiberglass fountain that was old when we acquired it a dozen years ago. Due to age and some cracking it was beginning to leak a lot. We decided to try and save it and bought this product. It made the fountain like new! There is a little work to do to prep before application but just follow the easy instructions. We have lots of birds and other small animals that drink from it and wife liked that there were no toxin stuff emitted from this product.

The end result was good. However, we had a small pond that really needed two coats of sealant. The Pond Armor instructions did not take into account temperature and humidity. We were probably somewhere near 80 deg and 15% humidity and the first half batch set up too quickly. In order to get one whole 1st coat,we had to dilute the second batch with 1 1/2 cu alcohol. It held out just long enough to finish up the rest of the first coat. We are pleased with the results, but we need to cover the rest of the 60 sq.ft. to get a second coat. The tan color worked out really well and I think the overall product is very good but there should be a guide about temperature and humidity. We waster 1/3 of the initial mix because it was too thin. As I said, we will order another batch to complete the job. It seems to be working very well!

Very good product

The product was only half inside. Only had one can when it clearly should have had two. Update: They replaced the second can when shipping weight was clearly half what it should have been.

Cover good
