@@LittleCountryCabin I would be nervous, too, but after watching your video I would be able to approach a similar project with more assurance. What a great help this will be to people who are restoring a vintage sink! Love, Michele
Glad I could help! A couple things I have observed since using the sink for a few months - this finish is an epoxy, not enamel, so extreme heat can damage it. Take care to not place hot pots directly on the sink. Also, I would suggest a protective mat in the bottom of the sink to protect from scratches from sharp utensils. I clean mine with either bon ami or barkeepers friend. Overall I am still so happy with the result and would use the product again. Have a blessed day❤
Great restoration, Jackie. 😊 The sink is almost like the one my grandparents had, but only one sink in the middle. I hope all is well down south with y'all and that ngs are coming along. Always wonderful to see you. 😊 God bless.💖🌻
It's beautiful Jackie! Top and bottom!! Looks excellent to me. I'm elated you found that awesome double sink with double drain boards! Those are rare! Hey, don't be so scarce with your videos. You've never made a bad one and your fans miss you. Drag Jerry in occasionally too lol.
Hey friend! I absolutely love this sink. You’re right, they are hard to find. This one was in such good condition and very reasonable I just had to bring it home 😂. We have missed making videos and hopefully we can get back on schedule more now. I agree, Jerry needs to be in more🤗. God bless you Stan for your bold witness. We need that these days!❤️
@LittleCountryCabin I thoroughly enjoy y'alls videos. Jackie the world needs Jesus more than it needs anything else. I'm not a preacher, never have been and never will be. I didn't even get saved till I was 51, but God sure seems to think I need to stay busy sharing the Word and Jesus, - so I'm trying.
We restored our sink over a year ago. Our sink is similar but with a single basin. I love it because all the water stays off the counters. In my opinion they should still make this style of sink, it’s perfect and functional. Ours was really bad and we were thinking what did we get our self’s into. We painted underneath a pretty green. Don’t be afraid to do it because it was real simple. Just be patient and organized, it should be fine. It’s been over a year and my sink still looks great.
I love this testimony! Yes, I agree, these are the most functional sinks of all time. I painted the underside of mine farmhouse black. It turned out beautiful! Thank you for watching and for the kind words of encouragement. Have a blessed day 🤗
Hello sweet friend! So glad you are doing well. What an inspiration and blessing you are. God is so good! Wishing you a wonderful weekend as well dear❤️
We have the same sink, same hat and apparently same name! 😅 I did the ekopel 2 on the cast iron tub and I'm not really happy with it 1-2 years later. Maybe I will learn something here ❤
@jmkelly7710 Same hat too? That's funny😁. This was my first try, and overall I'm very pleased. One thing I try to remind others is that the Ekopel is an epoxy and not enamel, so precautions should be followed. We are happy with how the sink is holding up, but I don't set hot pots on or in it, and I don't clean my cast iron in the sink either. So far it's held up very well. Beginners luck maybe. Thank you so much for the great feedback and have a blessed evening ❤️
Great video! Any updates on how it’s handling the biffing and banging of pots and pans? We have one that came with our gut-job remodel home. It’s in pretty good condition, but with yellow basins. I’d love to figure out the best plan. But I cooked with cast iron, and it’s really rough on the sink so I’ve been hesitant.
We just installed it and started using it. It’s holding up very well! I’m careful with my cast iron for obvious reasons and also I don’t set hot pans directly on the sink. The new finish is very tough but it is epoxy so extreme heat could damage it. Thank you for the great feedback and have a wonderful day❤️
you know it is dry when you can no longer smell it. when it stops smelling, you know all the gases are out. I did a bathtub in place with great results. the important part is the cleaning and prep work. I did my bathtub years ago and I did get some lumps here and there, but it wears just like the original. I will also add that you need not be afraid of using a grinder to bust the rust around the drain and other holes. Bondo is your friend around those holes.
Great feedback! Thank you for sharing those tips. This was my first attempt and was so nervous but am very glad I did it and the sink turned out beautiful. Not perfect but still gorgeous. Thanks so much for watching and have a blessed and peaceful weekend❤️
We just got it installed and using it daily. I’m very impressed at how beautiful and strong the finish is. One thing I’m careful with is my cast iron for obvious reasons. Also I don’t set hot pans on or in the sink. The finish is very tough but it is epoxy and extreme heat could damage it. I’ll for sure be doing an update video soon. Thank you for the great feedback and have a blessed day❤️
Thanks for the video! You made it look so easy. I looked on Amazon and the reviews for this product state that it stained easily and they couldn't get the stains out even with bleach. What's been your experience? I wanted to use this for my kitchen sink.
Looks great but is it food safe? I am also looking into re enamelling some cast iron cooking pots. Have you done this before or is it something you need to send away for spraying/baking?
The sink was my first project to refinish. I wouldn’t advise trying to do cookware because the product is actually a very hard epoxy, not a true enamel. You could contact the manufacturer and get their advice. For cookware I would definitely look into having a professional do it. Thank you for the great feedback and have a blessed day❤️
We have been very pleased with the results. One thing I like to remind others is that the Ekopel is an epoxy and not enamel. There are some precautions I take, like not setting hot pots in the sink and being careful to not drop heavy pots either. So far it's holding up well and we get lots of compliments on it. Thank you for the great feedback and have a blessed evening ❤️
Thank you for this video! I'm resurfacing a single run farm sink along with 2 small bathroom sinks. The filler was a great suggestion, thank you!
@@CriaAndKiddFW Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Have a blessed evening❤️
Your sink is absolutely beautiful! You are a pro! I love this farm house style sink! Thank you for sharing my friend!
Thank you for the sweetest words my friend🥰. I am so happy with the outcome but I was so nervous to start with😂
What a helpful tutorial! Your sink looks like new. Very impressive and what a good feeling to know you did it yourself. ~Michele
Thank you Michele🥰. I was so nervous when I started but couldn’t be happier with the results🤗

This makes me happy I have the same sink and I’m scared to death to refinish it! How does it hold up to hot pots pans water ect???
I love those sinks! Thankyou for sharing this with us. I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend 💜🩷🕊️.

Can you do another video on how your refinish has held up to daily usage? Great video thank you 🙏
