I used tub grip in my bath tub two years ago, do I have to re-apply after sometime? If I have to do I remove the old one or just apply a new coating

I am no expert but have used this product and after about 2 years it needs a new coat. I plan to just apply it over the old.

I plan to recoat over existing, but I would clean it pretty good first to remove any dirt or film.

Use alcohol to clean and strip the surface of soap film to ensure a good bonding surface. I came just inside the outside radius of the tub, used a level to give me a plumb line on the wall and a square to transition the line on the tub. I did it this way to make sure I had a completely flat area on the tub for the wing to sit on and stick and seal well. Carefully attach using the lines for reference. This must be done ever so careful because any part of the 3M sealing strip touches, it is stuck and removing damages the sealing strip. Time doing this is your friend. Hope this helps.

I don't know but it doesn't matter to me. I was using zinc added fixodent twice a day on my lowers. Now I use cushion grip, I use alot and don't bite down too hard when applying. I then use three small strips of non-zinc polygrip once a day on my lowers. Stay in all day. I don't use cushion grip on my uppers. When removing cushion grip soak in hot water for about 20 minutes, changing the water after 10 minutes. Then I use long handle tweezers to pull it out. Great. Reordered a 3 pack and will never be without it. Love it zinc or not

Yes, it will feel rough like you said which is the point of using it so your tub or shower won't be slippery any more. One coat is all you need.

doesn't change a thing. i applied it to a tile shower floor that was really slippery and has worked great for the last 6 months.

I was told by the company years ago and they recommended that you fill your tub with hot water and let it set for a little while and then it will peel off while under the hot water. You may need to wear rubber gloves so as not to burn your hands.

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

You can remove it if recently applied. After it has seen heat and time, will be a lot more difficult. This is a low residue tape, it's not gummy.

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

NO - this is permanent, it adheres very well, no water can get underneath and that is why I purchased it. The tenants had scrubbed the bath so much it was rusting. I could bleach the rust, but it would come back in about 3 or 4 showers and current tenant complained. This adhered firmly to the bottom of the tub and all washing / scrubbing will not remove it. It is great for a PERMANENT repair.

You can buy caulk & sealant remover at Home Depot. It doesn't dissolve the caulk; instead it causes the caulk to chemically release its adhesive grip on the tub.

I've done this before with Rust-Oleum (twice) and used Homax this time and no peeling so far. It's been 2 years and it looks good. A suggestion...use the small fine sandpaper blocks instead of steel wool. I did this on my tub, not on the tiles.

Yes, I have used the rinse full strength between baths. I would reapply anytime my dog would start scratching and biting again.

Depends on how badly tarnished and how much elbow grease you plan to use. The product is not a "dip it" kind of product. You apply it then rub and do it again as necessary. Be careful with any metal -- if it is lacquered metal it could be a problem. Test first.

I think it's instantly more tacky than the original leather grip. If you stretch the grip tightly while you're wrapping it over the handle, especially at the start on the butt end where I grip it, it seems to last long enough that I never worry about the cost of replacement. Also if you clean the handle after removing the original grip and let it dry, it seems to stick better. No more overgrips for me.
