These two cast iron bathtubs have lived outside for a long time.
We do have all the feet for each tub.
Ray Robles of Mega Sandblasting makes house calls.
The big tub is marked by its manufacturing company March 5, 1931.
Squeaky clean and ready for Etching cream.
All masked off and ready for a new acrylic surface.
Application of the new acrylic surface was a daunting task. It did come out looking pretty good though. With the exterior painted a wine red and the feet painted sparkling silver, we are excited to set the tub with plumbing.
After several months waiting to be ready, here’s the big tub from above along with a medium sized one from out of Pumpkin house. We scrubbed the outsides with acetone to remove surface rust.
Here they are after two coats of metallic Rust-Oleum.
After long, back breaking hours of prep and application of the acrylic coating, Pumpkin and Teal House bath tubs are ready for plumbing.
Getting better at this tub refinishing thing. Teal and Pumpkin house tubs complete.
