More InformationAfter making sure that the entire surface is completely clean, we apply an acid to etch the surface finish. The acid takes off the gloss from the original finish and etches the surface. Millions of microscopic fissures are opened into the original surface. This will allow our adhesive primer to penetrate into the surface and create a strong mechanical bond. This is a very important step. Although acid etching is an unpleasant process for the technician, anyone who tells you that it isn't necessary is not providing superior service.
While some companies only etch the tub, DuraGlaze of Central Florida etches and applies the strongest bonding agent available. It is more time consuming, but acid etching and then applying a bonding agent ensures the best possible bond between each surface. After the acid etching process is completed, we repair any significant chips, pitted areas, or scratches. Then, we apply the bonding agent to increase the adhesion between your tub and the new finish.
Our technicians mask around the tub and all of the fixtures, protect cabinets and adjacent areas with plastic. The first coat applied to the tub is a catalyzed epoxy adhesive primer. It is applied using a High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) application system. This system applies the adhesive primer at less than 7 lbs. per square inch to minimize overspray. The epoxy adhesive primer flows onto the surface and into the microscopic fissures and pores created by the acid etch process.
Finally, we mix the DuraGlaze resin and catalyst, and apply multiple coats of DuraGlaze using the same HVLP method. At this point a chemical reaction takes place. The new finish begins to harden and fuse with the epoxy adhesive primer. The result is a refinished surface that looks better, lasts longer, and cleans easier for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
