I have answered three questions that I think will be the main questions concerning bathtub refinishing Dallas. Dallas Bathtub Resurfacing Bathtub refinishing is not Rocket Science, Yet science plays a crucial role. Technology has advanced ten fold since the 1990's yet I still see epoxy paint being applied to bathtubs. If Epoxy worked then other technologies would not have surpassed it. Epoxy paint will peel. It's not a question of how to prevent it or how to make it last longer it is a fact that Epoxy paint is 100% going to peel off the surface because it is paint. Paint is applied on top of the surface. Not all Epoxy paint is created equal Now there is some truth to the fact that higher quality epoxy paint will potentially last a little longer. At least in theory. However, to get that toughness it will have to be applied thick. So thick that it will have a blotchy look to it. Even then if it is not applied at the correct intervals it will bubble because epoxy paint is a two part mixture and then it has thinner so it will level and flow and even the thinner can be a simple lacquer thinner which contains alcohol that causes it to dry quick and brittle or other brands that have contaminants that cause the coating to fish eye or become splotchy or dry uneven so some areas dry in 5 hours and some in 24 hours! This is why if you go look at lacquer thinner you will see prices all over the board and if you are looking for a cleaning agent then honestly any lacquer thinner will work in other words, to clean equipment and spray guns. Inexpensive lacquer thinner causes gasses to be put off so if a layer of epoxy is put on too close to the last layer the gasses can not escape and an air bubble will form causing the epoxy to bubble and detach from the surface. When it pops, usually about a day you have a flaky mess to get down the drains, come off in the bath water and not to mention epoxy will turn yellow when bleach is used to clean it. The solution is to use Multi Resin Polymer It is not a two part paint, instead it is a 4-5 part 100% polyester fluoropolymer glossy white coating that is customized to surface it is being applied to. It does not yellow and it will not grow mold or mildew. Because it is integrated into the old surface, not painted on top of the old surface. This gives it the ability to be a very long term solution, not a quick fix!
