Steel Stock Tank I had a great experience Making a pond with a galvanized steel stock tank and Pond Armor! The paint is a beautiful glossy blue that is silky smooth! The goldfish look fantastic against the blue, and the water looks clean and pretty. I was really nervous I was gonna mess the paint up, even called pond armor to get some tips about if I needed a primer paint or not and they were really nice and helpful. Turns out I didn’t have to have a primer. I bought rollers, but didn’t use them. The paint brushes worked fine, although twice I had a paintbrush hair that came off, I just picked it up with my fingers and smoothed the surface again with the brush. The paint came out looking smooth and glossy like I professionally sprayed it on or something just with the medium cheep brush. On the first coat I forgot to wear gloves which was a mistake!!! Don’t forget them! I really recommend this paint, I think it turned out great and worth the extra expense. It’s much nicer than a bunched up black liner that actually isn’t cheep. I also think I could have just sanded the tank by hand instead of using the electric sander. Here is the steps and supply list I used. Supplies: 1. pond armor 2. Denatured alcohol 3. Paint sticks 4. White vinegar 5. Spray bottle 6. Sponge 7. 60 grit sand paper 8. Mask 9. 2 paint brushes- medium cheepness because you won’t be able to use the brushes again. 10. Cheep plastic tarp for floor 11. Acetone Incase you need to clean anything you get paint on. 12. Gloves 13. Painters tape 14. Crappy clothes you don’t care if you get paint on them. 15. Screwdriver or paint can opener to open cans. 16. Several plastic painters cups or cheep dollar store measuring cups. Steps: Day one 1. Get supplies and plan project, think of a day when you will have time to do both coats and weather is good. Think of how much paint you will need to cover your tank. My tank was a 90 gallon and I was able to get two coats and had some extra I used to paint some cinderblocks. 2. Sand the tank with 60 grit sand paper first with electric sander then by hand. 3. Spray white vinegar on tank, I let it sit for a few minuets. 4. Wash/ rinse tank by spraying it down with a hose and a sponge. Then dry well. Day two 1. Tape off top of tank under rolled steel at the top of tank with painters tape. 2. Measure part A, part B , and alcohol in the cheep plastic paint cups then mix it all up together by using the paint stick. 3. Transfer mixture to new container. 4. Apply first coat with a paint brush. Start with sides at the top of the tank under taped off ledge of tank then do floor, then wait a few hrs. 5. Apply second coat same way, measure, mix, transfer to new container and use a new paint brush. 6. Wait at least 24 hours then fill the tank 7. Admire results with friends and family :)

The product itself is great. Both cans were dented when received. No instructions on how to remove the seal.

This paint was rate #1 for painting metals such as a galvanized tank. We bought it and it works great! We painted the inside of our 10' wide metal stock tank to It looks beautiful! But.....if you dont like hard work, I suggest you buy a cheap liner and let it be. There are about 4 steps to take in order to make this look great. But Im sure glad we did. Buy the tank of your choice, sand tank (etch) with 80 grid sand paper, wipe throughly with white vinegar, let dry, mux both cans of paint and start painting quickly as it sets up very fast. There are so many outdoor pool ideas with these tanks without the expense of a "real" pool! Empty it in the winter, refill in the Spring. Love it. We chose the Competition Blue color. Great choice!

The product applies nice and thick! Make sure to get a roller that is specifically for epoxy! I went to Lowes and got a roller that said for all paints, i asked the paint person if it would be good for epoxy and they said yes! Unfortunately the roller was not great for epoxy and left little hair like material everywhere i rolled! I picked the bigger chunks out but the rest adhered to it! It still looks ans works great!

Pond shield come to day 24th May 2020 it to paint a plywood aquarium we havant started it yet we let you now when we’ve finished the job, all the best and keep healthy in this time of lockdown, Regards WAB.

Used to restore older pond hard linear for my lizard new terrarium. Product easy to apply even on not flat surface; stays in place, doesn’t drip, cures fast. Beautiful final result. Odour free and pet safe

Follow instructions & you'll get a great seal.

I love the finished product but you have to work with it fairly fast as it is thick and starts to dry. Love the end product though and would recommend it. My friend told me about it.
