Pond Shield Pond Armor epoxy pond liner 1.5-Quart Tan — non-toxic, fish-safe waterproof coating

Pond Shield Pond Armor SKU-TAN-QT-R is a non-toxic, U.S.-made epoxy pond liner in tan that waterproofs and seals constructed water features with a smooth, crease-free finish.

Pond Shield's Pond Armor is an epoxy coating formulated for ponds, fountains, and other water features where a durable, fish- and plant-safe liner is needed. Designed to bond to concrete, wood, stone, metal and many rigid plastics, this tan 1.5-quart (48 fl oz) kit delivers a stable, low-maintenance surface that resists algae buildup and handles wide temperature swings. The product is self-priming, easy to apply, and for most installations a single coat provides reliable coverage and adhesion.

How does Pond Shield keep a pond waterproof and long-lasting?

Pond Armor forms a tough, flexible barrier that seals porous substrates and prevents water migration. Its epoxy chemistry creates strong tensile bond strength—often stronger than the concrete itself—so it stays adhered through seasonal expansion and contraction.

• Bonds to concrete, stone, wood, metals, tile and many rigid plastics
• Flexibility resists mimic cracking in grout and hairline concrete fissures
• Tested for durability across -78°F to 140°F temperature range
• Single-coat coverage for most constructed surfaces

Is Pond Shield safe for fish, plants and other wildlife?

Pond Armor is formulated for underwater use and designated non-toxic for aquatic life when fully cured. Its smooth, sealed surface discourages deep-rooted algae growth and can be wiped clean during routine maintenance without harming fish or marginal plants.

• Non-toxic formula intended for use with live fish and plants
• Safe for freshwater installations including koi ponds and aquaria
• Surface is easy to clean, reducing manual algae scraping
• Can be returned to service in as little as 24 hours when cured

How do you apply this tan epoxy liner and what surfaces work best?

Pond Shield Pond Armor is self-priming and adheres to abraded or porous materials; proper surface prep ensures optimal bond. Typical installation steps include cleaning, roughening smooth substrates, mixing the epoxy components, and applying with a roller or brush for even coverage.

• Suitable for concrete, mortar, brick, stone, treated/untreated metal and wood
• Works over many rigid plastics and previously painted surfaces when abraded
• Apply with brush or roller; most projects need only one coat
• Allow recommended cure time before refilling—often 24 hours

What maintenance should I expect after using Pond Shield?

After curing, Pond Armor creates a maintenance-friendly surface that reduces routine chores. Algae and organic films generally remain on the surface and can be removed with gentle wiping or light scrubbing without damaging the coating.

• Wipe or gently scrub algae from the sealed surface as needed
• Inspect for deep gouges or heavy wear and touch up with compatible epoxy
• Compatible with standard pond filtration and circulation systems
• Retains color and performance across hot sun and freeze/thaw cycles
