Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works on tubs I used the Rust-Oleum Tub and Tile Etch to prepare a bathtub for redecorating. Following the directions, I bushed a thick layer of the gel-like material on my old bathtub, waited at least 5 minutes and removed. The instructions state to rinse clean, but I felt that this product does not belong in our lakes so I used a plastic spatula to remove what I could, then used paper towels and placed in the garbage. Once I removed what I could, cleaned up with a wet sponge. I was successful in removing the shine from the tub, all the stains and brown spots, looked better already, but could not be left untreated as this made the tub susceptible to scuff marks. In the end, the product did what it stated it could do, remove the porcelain from my bathtub.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Tub and Tile Etching Cream....save your money Bought to prep tile for paint. Does not take the gloss off tile. Followed the directions, didnt even dull the shine. Ended up using Bulls eye primer. Btw, the etching cream did a great job of cleaning the tile. Rather pricey for a cleaner!

My daughter is moving out of her apartment and the tub needs to be refinished as her Lush bathbombs and purple shampoo stained the finish her landlords put on it. Is this product something that she could use for this so she doesn't loose the crazy damage

Asked by: Bugsmon
Hi Bugsmon, Our Specialty Tub & Tile Etching Cream is used to prep surfaces as an easier alternative to sanding. You can use this product on the tub prior to refinishing with our Specialty Tub & Tile Refinishing kit.

Is this necessary before the tub and tile refinishing kit?

Asked by: katherin
If you have any amount of shiny enamel left on your tub/tile this will give it a satiny surface that the refinishing material can bond to. As an added bonus, it also ensures that soap and cleaner residue are gone from the surface ensuring that the new finish adheres to the actual surface you are retreating and not residue of some sort on top of that surface.

Does the cream dry out eventually? If it does is there anything you can mix ut with to keep the consistency?

Asked by: DeniseR
Hi DeniseR, The etching cream can dry out if the lid is not sealed properly. If the product did dry out, there is nothing to mix in to revive it. We hope this new information is helpful.

Do I need to prime before using this product or do I just make sure the tub is clean and then just paint

Asked by: Neil
No priming needed. Clean well and the cream is very powerful so no pre-sanding needed from my experience (depending on the thickness of the gloss).

I saw some video of this product which showed A and B to be mixed before use, is this the same product premixed ready to use? Can we paint over silicon or is it mandatory to remove that first?

Asked by: Vijay
