-
Work materials preparation

For this, a small processed wooden bar is suitable. It is also important to thoroughly mix the acrylic in the corners and walls of the container.
This composition must be allowed to stand a little (5-10 minutes) before application.
-
Application of material to the surface
Liquid acrylic is applied to the sides of the bathtub from a small container by pouring.
After the acrylic has been applied to all the walls of the bath, using a spatula you need to start leveling the sides of the tub and the unfilled areas on the walls by lifting the bath from the bottom.
The final step is to level the bottom of the bathtub to the drain and remove drops from the side of the outer part of the tub.

Curing period
During the drying of the acrylic coated bathtub, it is not recommended to use a nearby sink to avoid dripping water.
It is advisable to close the bathroom for 24 hours so that dust does not settle on the surface.
