how does this product work on fiberglass tubs?

To be honest I am not sure, I would think It would still work the strips are very sticky and since I have used it, it is holding up very well.Just make sure surface is clean and you let it cure for 24 hours. Hope that helps.

I don't know because we used it on a porcelain covered steel tub. However, the walls were a composite fiberglass sheeting and so far it is sticking to both very well. Even if it gives me 3 years its worth it -- for so little cost I would replace it in a minute. If you are going to install it, wash down the area with a liquid cleaner, then wipe it with alcohol. It needs to be absolutely clean for the product to stick.

I actually threw this strip away. The glue on it appeared to be very old and did not stick very well to the fiberglass.

Hi Doug. If you want to clean your fiberglass shower use the spray bottle iron out. I give it 10 stars it works so well rust disappears before your eyes. It's AMAZING!!! I thought this was the refill but it was powder it works great in the toilet.

I would not. This has a rare kind of acid in it. It is designed for fiberglass tubs/showers. As mentioned by others, it does have a very strong fume to it. But it is the only thing I've found that works great on my fiberglass tub to remove the mineral stains from my water. I would not use it on a painted surface.

Mine are mounted in a tiled shower, but my assumption would be that it would work just fine on fiberglass, too. I'm basing that on the method used to "attach" it to the wall. There is no adhesive or even suction involved. Instead, you place it where you want it (there are thin foam strips on the back so nothing will be scratched), make sure it is level and then just press on the "bar" at the front which keeps the pressure on and holds it in place. It's almost unbelievably clever; mine have both been in place for a number of months and seem as secure as the day I put them in. Removal is equally simple. You'll love these things -- fabulous!

I use Nu Finish twice a year on my fiberglass ski boat. It should be applied in the shade and at 3 sq foot areas at a time. Excellent results. One suggestion: use a Fiberglas de-oxidizer first if the fiberglass has dulled with age. The Nu-Finish does a great job of preserving it like new.

Donna it is not recommended for fiber glass tubs but I used a piece of the rubber gripper material under the grip parts. I'm talking about the rubber gripper material used under area rugs or even used under place mats to stop things from slipping. It seems to cushion it just enough. My mother in law has used it with no problems a little over 9 months. I hope you understand the material I'm speaking about.

I used it only on me vehicle's doors (not fiberglass) and it did not damage them. I used a heat gun but only to warm (not hot) the adhesive and then scraped off with plastic razor blades. I also used some concentrated citrus cleaner which also helped to soften and clean off the residue.

I am not sure, but be aware that it is quite heavy and because of that I would not try it in a fiberglass tub...cast iron might be OK.

I would think it work well for this. We have used this in our fiberglass pool to remove metal stains. It works the best of anything we have tried. Hope this helps.

The tool itself would work fine for fiberglass gelcoat. However, the pads and compound, polish, and wax are designed for clearcoat auto paint. I'm not sure if there are pads available designed for fiberglass. Also, the pads are small and would take a very long time to do a large boat.

I'm really not sure, but here is something I found searching the web, have a read.http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f56/stripping-paint-from-the-fibreglass-smart-strip-results-52392.htmlAlso search with this 'smart strip on fiberglass' on Google. Based on the search strings, seems it does state it will work on fiberglass.Hope this helps

I'm not sure if the old stuff I removed from our tubs was silicone, something else, or a mixture since the last time it was caulked someone else did it. As I said in a previous comment to another inquiry, it did seem to work on whatever it was, although in some areas I had to treat it twice. I averaged using one and one-half to two bottles per our standard sized tubs. Hope this helps -- good luck!

Hi Doug,I'm pretty certain it won't hurt the fiberglass in any way. The problem will be to have the stains exposed to a solution of super ironout for a long enough period of time for it to work completely. I principally use it to clean iron stains off of mineral specimens. I soak the specimens in a warm super ironout solution from 2 hours to overnight, depending.Good luck,Steve C.

Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great. I would try it , with taking care on tightening clamp and watch how is seems to be adjusting , watching both tub side and grab bar. I found after initial tightening to go back a tighten once again. I found it very safe, very handy, Think it might also depend on just how much weight you would be pulling against it from sitting position. If you just are going to use it to stabilize yourself getting into and out of the tub, should work for you. Very satisfied with mine. Just always use caution in and out of the tub with any product. Always check on clamp is tight. Try it! Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great.

This is a strong product which works very well. I thought I would need to replace my tub but it made it like new. You can try a small area first on your awning to see how it works on that surface before doing a large area. If it doesn't seem to be pulling the color off of it then you should be safe to use it for the entire awning. Hope this was helpful.
