To enhance the safety of your bathtub by adding a slip-resistant bottom, Multi-Tech Products Corporation offers a tailored solution. Their Quick Glaze system is designed to not only reduce the risk of slips and falls but also adhere strongly to various surfaces including porcelain, cast iron, gelcoat, acrylic, as well as tile, concrete, or metal.

Steps for Applying a Slip-Resistant Surface:

1. Preparation: Start with a clean slate by rigorously cleaning the bathtub’s bottom. This step is crucial for removing any residue that might hinder the adhesion of the slip-resistant coating.
2. Sanding: Lightly sand the area to be treated to roughen up the surface slightly. This roughness is key for the next layers to firmly grasp onto the bathtub. After sanding, a second cleaning round is necessary to clear away any resulting dust.
3. Mixing the Solution: Follow the instructions to mix the Quick Glaze system’s components accurately. This typically involves blending a base with a hardener and integrating a semi-transparent powder to achieve the texture that will prevent slips.
4. Application: Apply the mixture evenly across the designated area using a brush or roller, ensuring full coverage for maximum safety.
5. Curing: Let the coating cure as per the provided guidelines. The exact curing time may vary depending on environmental conditions and the product specifics.
6. Evaluation: Once cured, assess the texture and slip-resistance of the surface. For increased texture or slip resistance, a second coat might be necessary.

Adhering to these steps will not only improve the safety of your bathtub but also do so in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. Always prioritize safety by wearing protective gear and following all provided instructions during the application process. The result should be a durable, textured surface that significantly lowers the risk of slips and falls in the bathtub.
