What should I use to seal some micro-fractures in the bottom of my bathtub?

I have a few tiny cracks in the bottom of my bathtub. What should I use to seal them?

You can use a water based epoxy paint, Devoe, Duron, Sherwin Williams all carry them. I would do the entire surface to seal it , so that you won't have new ones popping up next month somewhere else. The surface should be clean and dry and you can remove the soap residue to be sure it is totally clean by using de-natured alcohol as the last prep step. The biggest problem with this is that it needs to cure and dry well for a week before you use it and if you haven't got another bathroom in the house you will have to shower elsewhere
