    Use these coatings on tanks to create a low-friction lining that prevents bubble formation and turbulence in the liquids within. These thick coatings can also be used in chutes and on foundations for a smooth, glossy surface that resists abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures once cured. Apply with a brush or roller. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
