Pond Shield Armor SKU-GRAY-QT-R Non-Toxic Epoxy Paint, 1.5-Quart, Gray

I have an old concrete pond and waterfall in my backyard. I had drained it and stopped using it because the concrete had small cracks and it leaked so badly. A membrane style liner isn't practical due to the shape of the waterfall. I was about to have it demolished....then I discovered Pond Shield, which came highly recommended online. Three packages did my entire pond/waterfall. See the product description for coverage recommendations. It's been almost a year, and there is zero leakage, and my waterfall runs 24/7/365. Pond Shield is a two part epoxy that you mix and apply. Clean the substrate thoroughly, and use an etching acid if the surface is smooth. Then mix it up according to the instructions and apply with a disposable brush or small roller. The one caveat is to mix up small batches....no more than you can apply in about 5-7 minutes. It begins to harden quite quickly. If you mix up too much at one time, it forms a skin, gets clumpy, and cannot be used. And it gets extremely hot if it sits for long. Ask me how I know! The instructions warned of this....and I quickly learned to follow them. Do so, and all will be well. I'd mix up a cup or so at a time until you get a feel for it. Wear thick rubber gloves, eye protection, and old disposable clothes. Pond shield comes in a variety of colors. I chose gray as it compliments the natural stone of my pond. This is a fantastic product, and I strongly recommend it.

I gave this 5 stars, but I feel like the suggested coverage is on the high side, so maybe 4 1/2 stars. However if you have a pristine smooth surface that you're coating, maybe it'll cover like they say. We were coating concrete, and so it the coverage was definitely reduced. The coating looks good however, and brushed on pretty good. We did 2 coats. Like many other reviews state - mix only what you can apply in 15 minutes, and not a drop more. I've never seen anything harden so fast... One sec it was like latex paint, then within 15 seconds it was like tar on the brush, and about 30 seconds later my brush was permanently glued to my paint tray. Would I recommend? Absolutely, just order about 30% more than you think you need. And work fast. No, work really fast. Looks great, and sealed our leak. Thank you

Worked perfectly for the fountain we had that was too porous to hold water. Great price for such a quality option. No leaks now and fountain will last many more years than any other cheap fix we could have done. Instructions were great. Had no issues making several batches over a few hours and 2-3 coats were done on all surfaces for the perfect finish. Be sure to use alcohol and this product will absolutely cover the m2 mentioned on the tin. Would order again!

It was hard to open the cans. But once opened the mixing and installation was easy. You need a stiff brush to apply. It dries very quick. In about 20-30 minutes. I waited 24 hours before adding water and fish. Non toxic and an excellent product. Wish I found it earlier. Would save me Time waiting for concrete to cure. It feels like a rubber coating. It’s a grayish blue light color. Works well.

First time I have used this to paint my concrete above ground pond. Great product that was easy to prepare and use. Nice finish as well. Very happy with the results!
