Anti-Slip Spray for Increased Grip on Fiberglass, Acrylic, Concrete and Tiles – Clear Non-Slip Coating for Shower, Bathtubs & Floors

It really works. My shower floor is exactly like my spouse's tub (that we paid a lot more money for a non-slip surface to be applied by a professional). Now I can use my sugar scrub with oils and not worry about slipping. I purchased 2 cans just to make sure I had enough since some of the reviews mentioned the can only sprayed for a few seconds. I only used 1/2 can to cover a 3.5 by 3 foot shower fiberglass floor. Respirator: Make sure to wear a respirator as this product can damage lungs. I purchased a 3M 6100 small half mask reusable respirator that came with 2 sets of 3M 2071 filters, the best $15 investment I ever made. Instructions: It didn't come with instructions, but you can print these by going to: SlipDoctors dot com -> Products -> Anti-slip solutions -> Shower Solutions -> Non-slip Spray -> Instructions. 1. Make sure to clean the surface: Use a straight-edge razor to remove any traces of stuck-on gunk (in my case, it was removing the non-slip stickers), then clean with Bon Ami cleanser (or you can use Comet, etc.), wash thoroughly, wipe it dry. Then I poured acetone (nail polish remover without water in the ingredients) on a rag, and wiped it down. I allowed the shower to dry completely for about 2 hours. 2. Tape off the area you want to spray with painter's tape. Make sure to tape over the drain to avoid spraying into it. Then attach newspapers (or painter's paper) about 2 feet up along the shower walls (or bathtub), and tape it down to the painter's tape. You will have to remove the paper after applying the spray, so try to make sure you attach each section of paper together to avoid any paper from falling onto the product while it's still wet. 3. Shake the can vigorously for 3 minutes (making the metal ball in the can make noise to mix the product). This was a workout, as I shook both cans at the same time in case one of the cans didn't work. 4. Put on the respirator! I can't stress this enough. I have permanent lung damage from not wearing a respirator during one of my other projects several years ago. 5. Open any windows in the bathroom, and turn on the ceiling ventilation fan. If others are in the house, close the bathroom door and place a towel on the floor against the door. When leaving the bathroom, put the towel on the floor against the outside of the door. This will prevent the fumes from getting to the rest of the house. 6. Spray the product gently back and forth about 1 foot above the surface to cover it lightly. (I went over it again with another light coat.) If a second coating is desired, you can reapply 30-60 minutes after the first application (one coat is preferred). I guess I sprayed it a little heavier than recommended, because it was still wet after an hour. I found that I didn't need a second coat. Remove the tape and paper shortly after application, but make sure it doesn't touch the wet product. 7. If you have product left in the can and you want to save it for a later project: Turn the can upside down into a plastic garbage bag to release some air to clean out the sprayer nozzle. 8. After 24 hours the shower should be ready to use. The smell dissipates after about 12 hours. 01/21/15 update: The floor is holding up great, however, I think I figured out why the manufacturer of the shower pans makes these so darn slippery... it's to allow the water to completely drain off into the center drain. After applying the nonslip spray, my shower floor collects water and does not allow it to drain off on its own. It's as if the grit on the floor keeps the water on the floor in several places. The next morning, even after keeping the shower door open, I still have big drops of water on the shower floor. Now I have to squeegee the water from the floor into the drain after showering so it can completely dry. I keep the small squeegee hanging in the shower. I also use it to squeegee off the glass walls, which keeps the shower cleaner in between my weekly heavy cleaning.

Used this product on the shower pan in my master bathroom. Put it on as directed every 20 minutes. I put a new spray on. The smell is very strong, so I suggest if you have a window in your bathroom open it up and turn on the vents. Put a towel under the door to keep the odor from coming in to the rest of the house. It is very strong and caustic. It works like a dream. I'm not afraid of slipping in shower ever again. Highly recommend this product.

Useless. Well, useless on porcelain, anyway. "Wait a minute! This is for fiberglass!", you say. Yes, that's true. It's right in the name. "SlipDoctors Non Slip Resistant Spray for Fiberglass". Yep, that says "fiberglass". But in the description, it says, "Can be used on fiberglass, concrete, metal, fiberglass, tiles, VCT, porcelain and many other surfaces." Yep, that says, "porcelain". So, based on that, I asked my wife to order a can. I cleaned the tub as thoroughly as it's possible to clean a porcelain tub, short of using a strong acid. The tub was clean, bone dry, and should have been a perfect surface for this product. It went on easily enough. I used about two thirds of the can on a standard 5 foot tub. I didn't coat all the way up the sides, just the surfaces where feet might need traction, including the top outside edge. The fumes are pretty strong (like spray paint), so we left the fan running and closed the door. The product was allowed to dry over 20 hours with NO use. No problem there. I was the second person to shower the next evening, and I noticed a fist-sized patch in the middle of tub that was bare. No texture. At first I thought I had missed a spot, but when I poked at it a bit with my toe, more came off. :( By the time I finished my shower, it was coming off in sheets. Rather than let it bother other family members, I just finished taking it off, and it was NOT difficult. A slight rub, and off it came. There you go. We got less than one shower's use out of it. Maybe it's fine on fiberglass or acrylic, but it's a complete waste of money on porcelain. On another note, I was not expecting the surface to be quite so rough. It would be fine for showering, but probably very uncomfortable for bathing. Ouch.

I must have purchased a can with the new and improved spray cap as my can worked as directed. I sprayed one light coating onto my metal side steps that are mounted on my Yukon Denali, waited one hour, then went back and sprayed another light coating on the surface, and waited another hour and did a 3rd coating. Throughout the entire the process, the only thing I did was to shake the can a few times right before spraying. The temperature was about 79 degrees for me, with no wind. The finished product is excellent! Best of luck out there with your DIY project.

UPDATE: approximately 3 weeks has passed since we applied this to the bottom of our tub. I noticed a rather large bubble (approx sz- 5x7) on the bottom of the tub today and realized it was peeling off the bottom of the tub. I had to peel it all off which came up easily so I could reapply to the surface. I still like the product even if we have to reapply it once a month. It makes the tub much safer for my husband who is prone to falls. I sprayed on the bottom of my tub one thick layer (1/2 can) and it was completely dried within 4 hours. You can't see any difference in my tub surface but can feel this bumpiness that will definitely keep us from slipping around. I will warn you though it smelled up our entire house (paint varnish smell) and our neighbors! The neighbor came by to make sure everything was ok - he asked if I was painting.. Lol I opened every window in our house and it took about 3 hours to get the smell out. My husband was concerned about it causing the furnace to spark a fire - it was that strong of a smell. That is why I knocked off 1 star. I knew it would smell which is why I opened our bathroom window and put a towel under the door but it still made its way through our house. So be warned, be prepared but it does work great and goes on easy! If you found my review helpful please click on the helpful button below my review. Thank you!

I can not fault this product. It preforms very well providing a non-slip surface in what was a very slippery fiberglass shower base. Easy on the feet, clear in color and not too hard to apply. The one downside is has a very potent odor out of the spray can. I was fortunate to have an exterior door out of the bathroom, I set up an isolating fan, turned the bathroom exhaust fan on and wore a face mask when applying. Preparation is 90% of this job, I scrubbed the base with Softscrub, rinsed and dried it, wiped it down with denatured alcohol, then masked off the base area I didn't want sprayed about a foot up the shower walls. Be forewarned the can is under higher than normal spray can pressure, in my opinion, the product really comes out quickly, you need to be ready to move for an even spray. I gave it a second coat after an hour dry time. My shower was a 42" square and I used the whole can. We didn't even try to use the shower for 24 hours. It was totally dry then and the smell was gone. Longevity is the question now, I'll keep you posted.

I applied this in my shower two months ago and I really love it. Before I put it down I felt unstable in the shower. My feet would slip while in the shower and especially when getting out. I would have to hold on to the towel bar. Now, no problem. I was worried that it would be difficult to clean the shower floor but that was a needless worry. I had some left over so I sprayed it onto some steps in my work shop. I know this stuff is not made for exterior usage but I tried it anyway. So far not problems. Good secure grip on the steps and so far it is not coming off. UPDATE: It's been over a year since I applied this product and thought I should update my opinion of the product. It mostly has stayed put. A few spots have released but that has not affected the non slip properties. It is hard to clean; kinda like trying to clean sandpaper. I use a scrub brush with a little bleach and elbow grease. That keeps it clean but the product has become discolored. Overall I have mixed feelings about this stuff. On one hand I love the security it gives me in the shower but I dislike how hard it is to clean. If I had to do it over I think I would look at other options.

I started using this and it worked great until the spray nozzle stayed spraying continuously. About a minute. I pulled the spray nozzle off and it continued to bubble out of the can, what you see in my photos. I only have a small area to cover, I put down one coat on it. The slippery surface is much better so I'm not saying the product is defective, I really think it works great, however, the nozzle is bad. I tried to get it replaced, Amazon gave my a gift card for payment on a new can. Just ordered so hopefully the next nozzle is better. It infuriates me I spent almost 50$ on this and it's bubbling out of the can and I can't stop it. I turned it upside down and cleared the nozzle as you do with all spray cans. Went back to try again and the nozzle did the same thing. Did this 5 times. I cleaned it out once more but the spray nozzle is junk.
