Hi guys.
I have a tub I installed a year ago that has (imo) very thin walls. Never thought much of it when i installed it (first time tub swap) but I can easily see light through the tub and already had American Standard come and fix a crack that happened in the sidewall when my elbow struck it while I was cleaning it.
So its made me extremely gunshy when using it. I was thinking I could get some fiberglass mats and add another layer of fiberglass along the tub wall but the area between the wall and the non-removable apron is really thin considering I can only gain access from the back of the tub.
I've included a crappy picture but it was the only one I could get that showed the amount of light that comes through the thin parts.
Am I being over-paranoid now from cracking it once? Is sprayfoam an optioin? Is there another product that can be sprayed in there that would strengthen it? Or should I try my best to get some fiberglass mats in there as far as I can reach?
thanks for any advice guys)
