Well we are all done!! I really like the finished product! I tried to add in 2 pictures, but not sure how to do that. All the advice and tips you shared were awesome!! We are very grateful for your advice and video tutorial!!
You guys did a very nice job. Love to do this....unfortunately I am 73 with no tools to cut into stock tank to add the necessary equipment. Could never man hand such a large tank...but I can dream!!! I will stick to refurnishing furniture. Thank you and many blessing for a happy time with your kids. Stay cool. I have a dog pool I can stick my feet in and cool down.... LOL.
What an awesome project? I love how informative you made the video. I’m a maker here in TH-cam and I’m turning a trash Compactor into a swimming pool called the Swimpactor! I have watcher you videos at least tree times for info. Just wanted to let you, you have helped me and my family a ton. Make on and hope you’ll have a blast. Got a sub from me. Keep it up!
Question! So the directions I received say 1. sand with 60 grit 2. wipe clean 3. Etch with white vinegar 4. Wipe clean 5. Prime with self etching primer avoid rustoleum self etching primer… so what did you use for step 5 I didn’t hear anything in the video about step 5. Would appreciate the info!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am inspired to look for a tank locally and transform it as you did. I love your results and seeing how much you and your beautiful family enjoy it!!!
I just got my stock tank and I'm glad I found your video, I didn't realize that I should do this first. I looks like the outside of your tank is black, did you epoxy that as well?
This is a great idea! We are looking to build one and this looks like a great way to protect the tank. I also would like to know if the texture make the pool slippery ?? we have little kids and I am worry about the safety of the pool. Thank you!
Very good question! The shield does have a slickness to it but it’s not slippery. It’s similar to the metal that is already there. If there is a lot of horse play like running or jumping one could slip a little. I would recommend adding pool noodles around the edges. In general I don’t think it’s any more slippery than the metal itself.
I am staying tuned to see how the epoxy holds up over time. Would also be interested in whether it can be used to "rehab" a tank that already has experienced some rust.
thanks!! I sanded it first. Then i used latex/aluminum primer made for galvanized metal. www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-1-qt-Flat-Gray-Latex-Aluminum-Primer-8781502/100123993 Then finally rust-o-leum exterior flat black paint. www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-32-oz-Ultra-Cover-Flat-Acrylic-Latex-Black-General-Purpose-Paint-1976502/100172539
couple more ? if possible, in between coats did you use new pans for each coat? I noticed some said you might need to have a new pan for each coat to avoid issues. How much would you mix at the time and while you stopped to mix up more did it seem to have any problem blending with what you had already put on before stopping to mix? I just wonder if stopping and starting in the process is better than overmixing to start with and then it drying up on you mid process. lol thanks. sorry to ask so much.
TNPRIZE55 hey! Yes I would recommend more than one pan. Also yes only mix what you need a small batch. I followed the instructions so I mixed the same amount each time. It gets a little thicker the second coat because you use less alcohol to thin it out.
@@gabrielleayers5966 thank you, :) probably need 4 roller pads and 2 paint brushes too, My husband will be helping each day so just figure double on tools, probably no way to clean this stuff out of a brush Id bet.
@@tnprize5511. Yes definately have extra tools. The paint brush I used for the first batch was very hard and useless by the second coat. This pond shield is excellent, but it thickens up really quickly. You think its all fluid and great and then all of a sudden it thickens up really fast.
Thanks a lot for this! I got a galvanized tub to make a patio pond and found this super helpful. Any chance you could tell me what the vinegar etching process looked like?
Ammonia is a base, not an acid (vinegar) I doubt the ammonia did any etching at all. If you're not going to use an acid you might as well skip this step
Amazing video! Did you use any special rollers for pond shield application? I’ve seen others who had problems with pieces of roller coming off and getting stuck to epoxy. Thank you so much!
Hi Gabrielle, How is the pond shield holding up? Some swear by Sherwin Williams pro industrial high performance epoxy but its legit $303 a gallon at 2 gallons is over $600 as the store told me today. Crazy! -- Thanks again for posting your video. Looks awesome!
Maris Naylor got delayed as I decided to build our deck first. Going to be doing it tonight actually and I have sanded and etched with vinegar. I’ll let ya know how it turns out.
Hi Gabrielle and Family We are following your awesome lead and have bought the Pond Sheild. We are ready to paint the inside, but just noticed that it says to use a self etching primer. You mentioned in one of your replies that you used the rustoleum self etching primer. Was that for the outside ? Did you use any Primer on the inside? was concerned with adhesion on the inside with the water etc. Thank you for your tutorial too!! We really appreciated your help! Christina from Canada
Yes the rustoleum self etching primer was used for the inside. We let it dry overnight because it was already late. We had no problems with the pond shield sticking. No chips or peels to date!
@@gabrielleayers5966 Fantastic!! Thank you again. I'll send you a picture once we are done. We went with Competition blue, loved the blue you used in yours too.
It's beautiful! I am having a hard time finding a stock tank! And most 8ft tanks are around $400... yikes. Anyone have any tips or ideas where to get one? Especially where to get one for cheaper??
$400 isn't really on the high side. For instance, Hastings manufacturers 8x2 stock tanks and they retail for $350 before tax. I'd say if you can find one for $400 grab it.
I got 10ft used one lesd than 100$ on Marketplace - facebook, I had to loom for a while and buy it right away because these are selling fast, also it was not easy to move..
I am wounding if you had any issues with the paint cracking when you moved it from your garage to where it sits now? Do I paint it before then move it or paint it when it not going to be moved anymore?
Mid April now - What is an update the on performance of the epoxy paint on your pool. It is holding up? Any sign of paint coming off after being filled with water for a period of time?
Yes, you can definitely put more coats on. We just didn't want to buy another kit. We used two kits for this set up. This stuff can be applied to different types of metals and it definitely serves as a shield. I believe it could but of course I can't be certain. Check out the website for some more info. www.pondarmor.com/faq/
Are some of you painting your tanks the first season with this.. I'm on my 4th season and I'm just now seeing rust so I'm thinking about doing something like this
I did the pond shield and it did start rusting. It started out looking like someone sprinkled black pepper then a couple spots turned to the rust. Im going to resand the entire thing and redo pond shield. I didn't realize that one kit was only 2 applications. So spring time I will order 2 kits and go from there. How well did the paint on the outside hold up?
Oh no!!!! Im so sorry to hear that. Still no rust on this end. Make sure your water is well balanced. The paint it’s still good on the outside too no rust.
THANK YOU for this! I've been researching for hours, getting mixed information and this is exactly what I was looking for. We pick up our 8' tank this week. Did you use a sander or do it by hand? Did you happen to buy a cover for it and if so, what did you get?
Hmm well, it’s not really paint so I think it will be fine. Just imagine a liquid fiber glass like shield being “painted” on to later harden. I would be sure to apply it in a shaded area so it won’t cure as quickly. It gets pretty hot here in TX too. So far so good.
Definitely go for the three if you’re looking for it to be real pretty. You cant tell the difference once the water is in it and the 2 has been holding up really well.
I tried this last summer and mine started to chip by the end of summer! And now I left it empty over the winter and a lot of paint chipped away. NO rust though. However, I am wondering if I didn't sand it enough and if there is any step that we did wrong. But i am gonna sand off the old paint and tried again these couple weeks. Does anyone have the same experience? I would like to know if any one have similar problem and how you fix it. Thank you!

So it’s been a year now. Any rust spots? Also, I’m wondering if the splitchiness would get better if you added a couple more coats? Definitely thinking about doing this when we get our pool 😊
I have an update video. But yes if more coats would be ideal. I didn’t want to pay any more money for the product. It’s a weird product to work with because you could do a solid second coat and because it’s in the mist of drying won’t permit you to use all of the remaining product.
Ohhhh I love your pool!!!!🏖. Thanks for the tips 👏🏻. I’ve been looking up stock tanks pools last couple months and my hubby says “hey babe what are you doing?” Then he sees my phone with Pinterest stock tank pics and he says “ohhhh you’re still on that?! “🤣🤣🤣🤣. I really want one but we are a family of 8...it’s mainly for me and our 3 littles and of older 3 teens want they can get in on own. It’s just something I want to chill in. Lol. Trying to decide if it’s worth the $600 bucks we will have into it. I love the idea of the Pond coating you used. Do you think it’ll peel eventually? The people that used rustoleum are seeing rust. I love the blue inside too:) great job!!!!
you will love it. If it peels i think it would be a natural wear and tear type of thing. Because its created to let water sit on it, i dont think it will chip or peel because of that. Thanks for the love!
We have had our tank 20 years, I have painted the outside a few times because I wanted to change the color, I used 1 can of Rust-Oleum on a ,6' pool, and a can underneath. We live on the coast where everything rusts bad, but our pool hasn't rusted. I painted the inside walls with the same,but blue, it took 2 cans. I had painted the floor also but it started chipping because of all the action of little feet, but the walls are still perfect. So I am going to pour some epoxy after I paint this time. I am painting fish on the bottom of mine!
@@perksofbeingbella3073 yes she is right! check the smaller local feed stores where they carry farm equipment. They might be able to special order for you.
This was amazing Grabrielle, thanks for sharing. Wife and I are putting together an 8 footer as well this weekend and this really helped.
Glad to hear it!
Hello! Where did you buy your 8 footer galvanized stock tank?
we just got our tank today, this is helping me alot also. I hope yours turned out ok.
Would love a follow up on how this has been holding up.
Thank you so much for this. I was looking all over for a way to keep my stock tank pool from rusting that didn't involve a liner. Excellent idea😄

Thanks for sharing! How much pond shield did you need for two coats on a what size pool: 6 foot round or 8 foot round pool.
Your Tank Looks amazing!!How did you paint the outside of the tank?
Thank you this really helped in deciding which paint to use.

Thanks so much for posting this video! We did it to our stock tank (sky blue, too) and it looks great!
Thats pretty cool! Im going to use Pond Shield for some concrete water bowls to prevent leakage. Thanks for posting!
Nicely done! 🌷
Looks wonderful
Please post updates so we can see how it’s holding up! I just got my stock tank pool going but might look at doing this at the end of the summer

Great video, Thank you for sharing!!
How does it hold up against chlorine? I would assume pond epoxy is for fresh non chemical water. Also is it very slippery?
I just got my stock tank and I'm glad I found your video, I didn't realize that I should do this first. I looks like the outside of your tank is black, did you epoxy that as well?
Yeah we spray painted the inside of ours and a lot of the paint chips off and makes a mess. So I'm curious how this has held up for you
This is awesome … is it still holding up ok ? No peeling or rust?

Thanks for the vid, actually doing this today on an 8fter we picked up. Did you remove the factory installed sealant on the tank before applying?
How did it go? I'm doing this tomorrow hopefully. Did you sand yours?

I got 10ft used one lesd than 100$ on Marketplace - facebook, I had to loom for a while and buy it right away because these are selling fast, also it was not easy to move..
I have seen people use flex seal and this is non toxic, so better for kids right? This is better then flex seal, which is what people recommend right?
I saw someone that used flex seal..was chipping off and took the days to sand the rest if it off plus I dont think flex seal is non tixic
How is it holding up in 2022
How's the paint holding up?
Did you also paint the outside of your pool, or did it already come in that color?
Hey everyone, I’ll be posting an update soon. Spoiler alert, pond shield still totally worth it.

What primer did you use? please and thank you.
Hello, thanks for sharing. it's been a year since you painted, how is it holding up?
Pretty good. I have a video called “pond shield update”
What kind of paint did you use for the outside? Did you sand or prep the outside in anyway before painting?
Wow, it came out perfect, will the pond shield crack if you move stock tank due to the flex of the bottom of the tank being so thin?
Nice job!
thank you!
Mid April now - What is an update the on performance of the epoxy paint on your pool. It is holding up? Any sign of paint coming off after being filled with water for a period of time?
Thank you for this video.
Great video
Can you put more than once coating to get a more consistent color? Also, Do you know if this will protect the metal from a saltwater system?
Yes, you can definitely put more coats on. We just didn't want to buy another kit. We used two kits for this set up.

Maryanela Gonzalez I used self etching primer for the inside per instructions of the pond shield. I used regular rustoleum primer for the outside.
Hi, sorry to bug again. When you applied the self-etching primer, do you notice that it left a powdery film? If so, how did you clean it?
If it's galvanized it won't rust to start with. 😊😘🤗
Chlorine in the water causes it to rust if not properly treated

Maybe about 4 or 5. It’s super strong!!!
@@gabrielleayers5966 was this used for the outside?
THANK YOU for this! I've been researching for hours, getting mixed information and this is exactly what I was looking for. We pick up our 8' tank this week. Did you use a sander or do it by hand? Did you happen to buy a cover for it and if so, what did you get?
Yay! I sanded by hand. I bought a tarp from Home Depot.
Hi Gabrielle~ we live in Arizona, temperature gets 120F in the summertime, how well the paint stand in the extreme heat? Do u know? Thanks~
Hmm well, it’s not really paint so I think it will be fine. Just imagine a liquid fiber glass like shield being “painted” on to later harden. I would be sure to apply it in a shaded area so it won’t cure as quickly. It gets pretty hot here in TX too. So far so good.
It says up to 140°..i am gonna use this stuff for stock tank bath tub..2x2x6ft
Gabrielle Ayers thank you so much appreciated
This is great info, thank you! Where did you get the pond epoxy from?
thanks! i purchased off of amazon! came in pretty quick!
Looks like it needs 3 coats.
Seen another vidio and they did 2 coats and it looked even and beautiful.
Definitely go for the three if you’re looking for it to be real pretty. You cant tell the difference once the water is in it and the 2 has been holding up really well.
How much did you buy
Galvanized metal doesn't rust.
That is why they Galvanize it.
True! But when it encounters chorine it does unfortunately.
chlorine eats away the zinc coating and then the steel rusts.
Typically a sacrificial anode like any in a hot water heater will probably prevent that
Where can we get the instructions? Do you use a Pump and chlorine in your pool? If so, has it held up well?
Yes, we use both. We purchased the intex pump and have a chlorine floater. There are some setup tutorials on TH-cam.
What size tub is this? It looks plenty large enough! Great job!
8ft stock tank! Thank you!!
How much of the pond shield did you buy? Do you have links to what you bought? Thank you so much for this!
she used two kits. :)
Home Depot has it cheaper than anywhere else
I tried this last summer and mine started to chip by the end of summer! And now I left it empty over the winter and a lot of paint chipped away. NO rust though. However, I am wondering if I didn't sand it enough and if there is any step that we did wrong. But i am gonna sand off the old paint and tried again these couple weeks. Does anyone have the same experience? I would like to know if any one have similar problem and how you fix it. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry to hear that our is still good. No chipping.
Is there any concern with this material being heated up if I were to turn my stock tank into a hot tub?
According to my research, epoxy would have to be heated to up to 350 degrees for it to degrade. Ouch hot hot hot!
Hello Gabrielle. Where did you buy your galvanized stock tank?

has any of the pain peeled off? how long have you had it for?

Gabrielle Ayers thanks!
How has this held up?
So far so good.no chipping or peeling.
Welcome back troglodytes to your daily dose of guitar information
So it’s been a year now. Any rust spots? Also, I’m wondering if the splitchiness would get better if you added a couple more coats?
Definitely thinking about doing this when we get our pool 😊
I have an update video. But yes if more coats would be ideal. I didn’t want to pay any more money for the product. It’s a weird product to work with because you could do a solid second coat and because it’s in the mist of drying won’t permit you to use all of the remaining product.
@@gabrielleayers5966 thanks so much for response! I’ll check it out
Ohhhh I love your pool!!!!🏖. Thanks for the tips 👏🏻. I’ve been looking up stock tanks pools last couple months and my hubby says “hey babe what are you doing?” Then he sees my phone with Pinterest stock tank pics and he says “ohhhh you’re still on that?! “🤣🤣🤣🤣. I really want one but we are a family of 8...it’s mainly for me and our 3 littles and of older 3 teens want they can get in on own. It’s just something I want to chill in. Lol. Trying to decide if it’s worth the $600 bucks we will have into it. I love the idea of the Pond coating you used. Do you think it’ll peel eventually? The people that used rustoleum are seeing rust. I love the blue inside too:) great job!!!!
you will love it. If it peels i think it would be a natural wear and tear type of thing. Because its created to let water sit on it, i dont think it will chip or peel because of that. Thanks for the love!
Plus..the paint is non toxic
We have had our tank 20 years, I have painted the outside a few times because I wanted to change the color, I used 1 can of Rust-Oleum on a ,6' pool, and a can underneath. We live on the coast where everything rusts bad, but our pool hasn't rusted. I painted the inside walls with the same,but blue, it took 2 cans. I had painted the floor also but it started chipping because of all the action of little feet, but the walls are still perfect. So I am going to pour some epoxy after I paint this time. I am painting fish on the bottom of mine!
hello! where did you purchase the tank? i can’t find anything big enough lol. thanks in advance!
