You gotta be quick,

This review is from: Bathtub Repair Kit, Almond & White
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.

White is Clear,
This review is from: Bathtub Repair Kit, Almond & White
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.

Worked Great, Poor Quality Control,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bathtub Repair Kit, Almond & White
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 in. The repair still will look white and since this stuff SETS UP REALLY FAST, use the time to get the repair correct. If you need it look good to sell the RV, get some spray paint and sandpaper. Did I mention this stuff gets hard FAST? I MEAN FAST! Make sure to drill about a 1/4" hole at each end of the crack to prevent spreading, get all your tools ready and WORK FAST!!!!! If you don't you will have a mess. The good news: Fixed a really bad crack 100% for about $30, a new shower pan would have cost hundreds, plus been a nightmare to install (professional installation would have brought the total bill well over $500-$600). It took about an hour to do from prep through clean up and the shower was ready to use in eight hours. A bit ugly but completely repaired for less than 1/20th of replacement cost. I'm sure this is made in China or India... I called the Manufacturer ( www.devcon.com ) and complained about the poor quality of the fiberglass and uselessness of the almond pigment. They were polite, apologized and are sending me a free kit for any future cracks. While not 100% satisfied, it did work better than expected and saved me several hundred dollars. I would use this product again. Did I mention this stuff sets up fast? Good luck!
