Can the epoxy process recommended for use on bathroom floor tiles be used on the walls of a tub surround and include a stencil?

    Tin Hi. Whatever you do fill the tub up with water, before any project around the tub. Your other question will be answered by my team mates, as soon as they see your post. Aloha!

    I'm not sure how much help I'll be, but my idea about epoxy is that you mix two substances together to create the epoxy and then pour it on the surface you want to epoxy. I've seen many projects done on horizontal surfaces, but haven't seen anything on a vertical surface. I think that's because epoxy spreads out over the surface and will drip down if you don't have something around the edges to block it. Good luck!

      You would have much better luck with the Rustoleum products and I think if you hold some aside and tint it, you might just be able to do some stenciling too. Please take photos and let us know how it goes, if you do decide to do this. Oh and please open windows, turn on fans and wear one of the better masks when you work with the bathroom refinishers. I hear they'll knock you down with the odor!
