I have a medium-sized water feature (concrete) that was beginning to lose it's original weathered blue-grey color from the periodic draining & scrubbing I would do several times each year. Cleaning was difficult because of so many nooks and crannies to clean algae from. I decided to purchase this stuff in the clear formula to protect the remaining color and make cleaning easier. It worked very well and has given my fountain a thick protective coating which will make cleaning much easier and help to preserve the color.From my experience, these are a few tips I would recommend:Measuring & mixing up a quarter of a batch each time instead of half as the directions recommend. I have a two tiered fountain with lions heads and a third level as the base that sits on the ground. I decided to put a coating, not only on the inside, but on the outside as well to protect the concrete and maintain the original color. There is quite a bit of detail design to paint, and I found that I ran out of time and wasted a good amount of the first batch, which was half of the kit per instructions. You have about 1/2 hour or slightly less before this stuff starts turning to a stiff (hot) gel, so unless you have a larger, less obstructed areas to paint, mix smaller batches.Have an inexpensive paint brush for EACH coating and plan on trashing the brush after each use. The foam applicators don't work well, because this epoxy is very thick and heavy when mixed, and the foam isn't sturdy enough to stay rigid with the application. Think wet noodle.Whatever you do, wear some latex painter's gloves. This stuff is so sticky, and it will find a way to get on your hands.The directions say to apply the next coating when the first is still tacky, but if you allow it to fully dry, you need to sand. I didn't have that option, because it seemed as though monsoon season moved in when I started this project. Each afternoon would cloud up, so I would have to cover the fountain and wait until the next day. The application would be fully dry by the time I applied the next coating. Personally, I didn't sand and had no problemI was pleased with the outcome of using Pond Shield. Because I decided to paint the outer portion of my fountain, it does look shiny now. Originally, I wasn't sure if I would like that look, but it turned out really well. The glossy finish of this product brings out the color of your water feature, and it also makes it look "wet" all the time.
