Refinishing a 1930s Farm Sink

[@lomein9320]

I bought one to refinish too, i did aLot of research. Bath coating doesnt last because its not made to withstand cuttlery & pot & pans. I used Ekopel & it looks great! Been using 5 years now.

[@sfumatofarm]

Yeah, a few years of hard use in and the in-sink part has chipped in a few places. Will look into Ekopel. Everything else is fine, just the area that was already worn down in the original shell that didn't take well.

Can't believe I found this! I have the same in my barn.I want to use mine in my kitchen.Thanks for all the info.on refinishing.I also have the original handles.You really did a fantastic job on yours. 😊💯

[@sfumatofarm]

Thanks! It's held up pretty well - a little in the sink part proper needs some love, but that's what four kids beating on it will do!

[@Bizzaro500]

Nice Job! Those clips you pointed to are for legs that attach to the sink.

[@sfumatofarm]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm gonna sink my theeth in that project soon (pun intented)

[@sfumatofarm]

Make sure you get all that rust off on the porcelain side especially. Have one hot spot popping up that I need to redo now.

[@susanamilhem6265]

Can you add a list of the products you used please

[@sfumatofarm]

Will dig it up and add when I have a moment. Thanks for the suggestion!

What did you sand it with?

[@Designsbyarias]

What type of cabinet did you install it on?

[@sfumatofarm]

The contractor build a custom piece for it. Nothing fancy, just a surround and support. Lots of storage underneath (we only have a cloth covering in front of the bottom)

[@christemihok8975]

I prefer the farmhouse curtains to custom doors and did the same at my house though my project included the doors. I had a lady on Etsy custom make curtains and looked so much cuter.

[@bridgerhopkins]

How’s the paint holding up?

[@sfumatofarm]

Good except one point in the basin where I apparently did not get all the rust removed, so I've got a small crack there. Will Dremel it out this winter and patch that area after treating with some loctite rust treatment. Patch the size of a quarter.
