Restoration of enamel in baths

What if the old bath lost its appearance, covered with cracks and caverns? Not everyone can afford to buy a new bath. Not cheap is the professional restoration of enamel in baths. But you can try to restore the coating of the bath yourself, while spending a relatively small amount of money. First of all, the degree of destruction of enamel should be determined. So, the coating did not spoil all over the surface, but only in some places. In this case, you will need ordinary BF-25 glue and white. Your actions: first of all, degrease the surface to be treated with gasoline. Dry it. With sandpaper, the surface to be machined is to be machined. On the damaged area, apply the adhesive evenly. The next layer is a mixture of dry whitewash with glue. This mixture should be applied in several approaches. The next layer is put on the completely dried one. The layers are needed so much that the treated area is equal to the general surface of the bath.

A completely different approach to the restoration of enamel in the bath, if the coating is not completely spoiled, but simply covered with small cracks, has become fuzzy. You will need acetone and white nitro paint. First, degrease the surface of the bath with acetone. Then follows the painting. The paint should be poured into the bath in small portions and carefully rubbed into the surface until the filling of the cracks and pores. To treat the bath with a paint is necessary as much as once. Each successive layer is applied as the previous one dries. Excess paint should be cleaned with a swab dipped in a solvent. That the top layer of paint was smooth and smooth, it is recommended to apply it with an aerosol can.
