After using this product, when putting on the drain it got a few scratches. Any suggestions on patching the scratches before using the tub?

I'm not sure if it was here on amazon or not, but another user bought a second kit and mixed it up in very small batches (babyfood jars) to fix nicks and scratches over the years. I plan on ordering another kit just for such things. I would suggest wet sanding the spot with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper lightly before applying.

The epoxy really needs a full 72 hours to cure. Then it will not scratch easily. To fix any scratches or blemishes rub them with a soft cloth soaked in either xylene or acetone. Wear nitrile gloves and respirator.

That is why I purchased this product.I used a small fine brush to fill in the scratches and tiny holes. Depending on how deep it's best to layer, letting the product dry completely between layers.

it is the original product, I saw a YouTube video where a person bought a fake version and was comparing them both, on the fake tub when he scratched the letters on the tub it rubbed off immediately, when he scratched the original he scratched and scratched and nothing came off, I tried doing this on my tub and sure enough it did NOT rub off!! I think it's safe to say that we got legit products here!

I found a product at Lowe's worked better, and matched the tub better. We had a hole that went through ours too.

Yes hire someone else to refinish the tub. I was so dissatisfied with the final product I ripped the whole tub out and started over.

We have had several scratches too! We have bought some sink mats to prevent scratching.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

I used on my porcelain sink w/o removing any grime or stains prior to use of it. It worked really great, even cleaned stains from around the drain. I 1st used a regular sponge cleaner over the stains, no response. I used a magic eraser, cleaned some, but not as much as I wanted. Used hope with magic eraser and almost effortlessly removed stains and "appeared" to cover scratches. I have white sink, so, whether it helped the scratches or not, I don't know. But my sink looked awesome after cleaning and rinsing!

I have mine in the shower and it has permanently stained the floor of my shower, I have been unable to scrub out the stain where it sits. But it has not scratched it, even when it occasionally shifts.

I have added bubble bath, and other than seriously underestimating how much it would bubble it was fine. I added some bath salts and it shot them out at me the first time they went through the water rotation spot. After that I just dropped the salts in before I started it so they were soft and would not have a problem going through. I have no problem cleaning it. Just take it to the bath tub and dump it out. Take the shower sprayer and hose it out standing up in the tub and everything washes right out.

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

I have not noticed this issue at all. We have had our sink for three years, and although it no longer looks brand new, I don't notice any big scratches. This may partly be because we always leave the grates (that came with the sink) in place on the bottom, and I am sure they help prevent scratches since nothing really touches the bottom of the sink.

Elbow grease...lol...the silica is what removes the minor scratches by its abrasive/polishing action, what removes stains is in question??? Detergents what ever ones those be, maybe the same thing that is in Techron...anyway, I am a quantum mechanic not an organic chemist but highly recommend wearing gloves and not breathing too many fumes. The Le Creuset pan cleaner works pretty well too for cleaning the Kohler sinks, maybe both products come from the same fountain....

I have some scratches but nothing extreme. I still love the sink and would recommend it. For the price and the quality, its a great product

I noticed the DC25 left a scratch on our new engineered wood floor. My solution was to wrap the wheels and the middle section of the ball with masking tape. Kind of a nuisance to have to do that with a $400 vacuum, but it no longer scratches!
