Nice Product
Had to re-caulk our shower and thought I'd tackle a more permanent option for the nonexistent shelving in our cultured marble shower. These are very nice looking and offer a more built in look than the various other options we've gone through over the years. The installation is not terribly difficult, but prep is key. Make sure all surfaces are clean and you lay out the position prior to getting epoxy on the shelf. I roughed up the smooth cultured marble surface with some 180 grit sand paper and cleaned with acetone. I diverged from the instruction as I did not trust the tape provided to hold the shelf while the epoxy set. Cut some scrap 3/4" ply to about 1-1/2" wide x 6" long and used some shurtape double sided tape to mount these as temporary cleats along my layout line representing the bottom edge of the shelf. Once the cleats were positioned they acted as a support for the shelf while the epoxy cured. Worked well for me. I ended up using Loctite marine two part epoxy. It appears to have a better wet environment rating than the other standard epoxies mentioned in the instructions. Even though I silicone caulked after install, I wanted a little more assurance in the event moisture did get to the epoxy. This epoxy has about a two hour working time and is a bit runny when first mixed, so I let it sit for about an hour after mixing to allow it to thicken as it catalyzed. After an hour it was at a point it would not run on a vertical surface. The shelves are solid after cure and should last. Very happy with the final outcome. Read more
