How to Refurbish a Cast Iron Tub | This Old House

“We’re going to fill it with a polyester resin”
This video would've been more helpful if it included details about products used. Without those details this video was no help at all. Example I would've like to know name of product used to fix damage spots. Thank you
"Much improved and much better than the old enamel", yet only last 10 years. Our tub is over 30 years old and going strong! How is that better?
That guy should do voice over.
What kind of acid ? What is the name of it so I can buy it ?
Thank you very much for this video!
The acid wash alone made it new😁
what is the suggested type of acid and dilution?
I use a pressure washer or even sandblast the outside, then a primer & enamel spray paint. Prepping, washing, sanding the inside, tack cloth etc. Then an tub/tile enamel spray paint, base coat, top coat and maybe a clear coat. Several light coats and final dry time, at least a couple days to cure.....
My tub is 101 years old. I will not refinish it yet! Using rog3 cleaner. Still has a shine to it! Once you refinish it, its pretty much junk. Your lucky if you get 10 years!
Where did you get the materials to refinish the tub?
Great voice-over voice on that guy.
Wasn't expecting it to only last 10 years.
what kind of acid was used? and what paint or top coat?
Wow... And wow, that man's voice!
That’s it? 10 years?
I’m surprised they didn’t use a chemical or sandblast the paint off. The random orbital sander looks like it would take all day, plus all of this looks like something you can just do in your backyard. It’s not like they use any special equipment.
Hey TOH.. can you tell me what the polyester fill is, and the Marine low VOC primer and top coat products?? Wks.
10 years? Not for me.
What about the hole where the spout is? Mine is so low I can't update mine bc there's nothing that matches the layout...
