Would this work in a whirlpool type tub? I have tried epoxy paints that don't adhere well, and 2 part epoxies that cannot be applied vertical

That depends on the whirlpool tub material: it can be stainless steel, polyblend plastic or fiberglass. The Goop has a consistency of watery oatmeal and will slide down vertical surfaces unless you keep brushing it up until it dries, a very difficult task. In order to get it to stick you have to prep the tub material. It should be lightly roughened with a fine emery cloth and cleaned with acetone or a solvent that will not harm your tub material. I have not had luck patching a polyblend surface with Goop. Well roughened fiberglass, aluminium & wood is what I have had good success. Good luck!

As long as the tub is not extremely textured I'd say you're good. Also let the adhesive cure a bare minimum of as long as the directions say, possibly longer, to get a good bond.

I am not sure. My tub is acrylic and it worked well. Maybe test in a small area.

It's a "possibility", in that there is a decent, adjustable span, to fit more than one tub edge. You may get a more positive answer if you contacted the manufacturer. Good luck!

Yes, Mark, in our experience over many months they are strong enough. We have a larger than standard whirlpool tub, but the flaps extend far enough onto the tub edges to be supported. If your lift for some reason doesn't stay in place at the bottom, it could sway to the inboard side and lose the edge support. [ hasn't happened to us]. If your lift is sitting on a moderately molded-in non-skid surface, the suction cups will conform to the surface with a little time and warm water. If your tub has a "sandy" or very aggresive non-skid texture you have a problem. In that case, if the lift will remain in the tub without the need to remove it often,I would try a small dollop of Plumber's Goop on the outside edges of the suction cups. [Dry ,clean surfaces of course]. If you do this you will probably have to remove the lift from the suction-cup feet and carefully peel up the suction-cups with the help of something like a kitchen knife. I.e., the lift is strong enough...the attachment to tub bottom is key.

Im just a buyer like you, but I used mine on an old fiberglass type of tub that had a crack all the way through it, and it worked. this stuff dries hard and is thick, it will not lay flat or blend in , and if you not careful how you paint it on it can be unsmooth to the touch. But it dries good and hard and fast. and with my son standing in the tub and on the patch , and he is a big man, the patch is holding. might not be a pretty patch work but I think it will work in a hot tub.

Hi, unfortunately does not, I've simply sealed all three sides with silikone, after tiling ,I'll use actylic siliconized grout between tiles and top surface of the tub, BTW - tub looks great :) and don't be surprised that you need to make a "tub bed" under it, is not as simple as placing it on level surface as you somethimes do with whirlpool tubs ...... I've "hung" my Duravit on all three sides on 2x4's and have build front skirt , Kris

This is not meant for use in a bathtub so I would suggest not using it in a bathtub. I would only use this for an aquarium type set up.

Nope, because the top edges are not flush flat so you there will be an ugly gap of grounding between the tiles to the tub. You should look for tubs that is for under mount purpose instead.

As water holds the shape of what its poured into, so does this. That said, only if there is a crevice or a space you'd like to "fill seal" can this work. I don't recommend trying to apply to any surface vertically as it will not hold and will most definitely be messy. As Howard said, only if you can remove the window and lay it flat should you try using this sealer.

You would have to get another tube that fit, cut the height you want and then glue it. The air will still push the water up the tube, no matter how high the tube is.

There needs to be enough of a ledge on both sides for the wire arms to rest on. It probably would not work without at least a few inches of clearance between the inside edge of the tub and the wall. It definitely won't work on those liner-style tub/showers with a smooth inner wall.

Handy Andy . . I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately I have enameled coated steel tubs, it does work great on them.

I had intended this to be used in a large shower at home. Unfortunately I returned the item because the finish was not what I wanted. I don't think you can use it in a bathtub because the surface is not flat. But I am not sure.

I have no idea but would think it is a longshot. It's not quite like glue, I'm sure the manufacturer can tell you. It's also sold in spa stores, at least in Cagary it is and they would know. Try any store for that matter that sells tubs.

Did you ever get this product and try it? I just re-surfaced my old cast iron tub with and homex epoxy paint and they told me not to use a bath mat and nothing with suction cups, that it would ruin the paint. I was thinking about these.

This will work only where a flat surface meets a flat surface, like a floor and a wall. It must be flat to be safe. Tubs are usually rounded on the sides and that won't work. I have used it to enter a van and to step onto the deck that has a high step.
