We also now include a special 2 foam roller handle with pad and mini-tray for easier application to vertical and larger surfaces. How long will it take me to do? It takes about 45 minutes to prep a standard tub, and maybe an hour to properly apply the first coat. Then 4-5 hours of drying time and then a second coat.
Consult with a licensed plumber if you intend to install a clawfoot tub on the second floor of your home! Insulate the pipes well during the installation process, if your supply and drain pipes will run through an unheated (or under-heated) space in your home. Consider your water heater! Clawfoot tubs can hold anywhere between 40-60 gallons of water. That means one good soak could completely drain your 40-gallon water heater. That may not be a consideration for you, but the rest of your busy household might be inconvenienced when someone is using the tub.
