Vintage Sink Refinish | Epoxy Paint | Ekopel 2k

very nicely done video documenting all your steps, I especially liked the "legs" you created to turn the sink over, and your thorough explainations throughout this process . . . I would recommend using goggles / glasses though whenever cutting or grinding, you were not when cutting the P-trap, yet you were squinting which indicates using googles / glasses is a safety recommendation . . . GREAT video overall, thank you . . .

I’ve used that product before it was awesome easy to use and no smell

[@margaretbear]

That was going to be one of my questions! Glad to know the smell isn't awful. I've used epoxy on a bathtub before and the smell was horrendous.

@@margaretbear u have a hour to fuse with the product. Make sure you mix well.

This is a great bath you built sir, all your hard work and creative ideas came together on this beautiful project. I really apreciate all the hard work you put into these videos you produce. the sink came out beautiful, i installed a steel tub my clients chose from HD and during the remodel a small chip happened ( 1/4" ) what product would you suggest i use to fix this ?

To be honest, it might be worth paying a professional to come out and do. They typically have all the supplies to match the white correctly. These kits work, but sometimes tough to match up the color right www.homedepot.com/p/BATHWORKS-4-oz-Tub-and-Tile-Chip-Repair-Kit-in-White-CRC-201/306194327

I need HELP…our vintage blue Koehler sink , odd shape, repaired a large break with BOndo…found the right touch up paint….in the tiny bottles. Tried diluting with mineral spirits to put their air gun…no good. Brush left marks on first coat….need a way to get the last coat on smoothly . It’s an odd shape humped up corners-Koehler Dolce Vita sink in Skylight blue….the corner ‘hump’ is where it fell and broke. Is as telling my hubs after experiment…it seems like ‘pouring’ it on would be ideal…..but……would that work with paint….would we build a dam with tape to keep in only on affected area and then buff down the border??? The only replacement sink online we’ve found is $900!!! 🤯. I want this one b’c it matched all the blue and the 2nd blue sink in the master bath….

If you stood it on its back and did the entire thing without it having to be upside down the finish on the bottom would be perfect without the drips.😊

...and here we thought it was going to be 'BARBIE PINK!'

Bathroom Remodeling Teacher, we have a 30 year old Kohler porcelain farmhouse sink that we want to refinish due to some small surface chips and hairline cracks in surface. Do we need to scuff up all the shiny porcelain surface like you did with the disk strippers and Lysol power scrub? We have some fine lacy details that would be hard to sand. Thank you

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Technically no, but I would suggest scuffing so that the epoxy grabs into it better. As long as it’s clean, you should be good to pour over

[@LouiseBuss]

Have you got a link for the product ?

[@JT-rc7vx]

What would reglazing cost?

[@ChiapasPioneer]

I bought the Ekopel 2 system ( approx. $149.00, time & labor was all me ). A quote I received for "enamel reglazing" of a bathroom pedestal sink here in California was $750 three years ago, $1500 this year . . .

Would you suggest using this on a bathtub? Ive commented on your video before and hoping for your response. I've got a new bootz bathtub installed and it has a porcelain finish but I got a little kerdi fix along the back edge where the waterproof met the bathtub. The box store only had grey kerdi fix so now I have to find a way to get it off or restore it with a coat or paint or something. What would you suggest. Or do they make a certain product to restore a bathrub finish?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Kerdi fix should just scrape off. With a porcelain tub you can use acetone to help remove. Can’t imagine it damaging the tub

[@shawnphillips1220]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher perfect. Yea, I haven't spent any time on it, but knew it's too thick to just wipe off. Once I realized what happened, I taped off the front and back side so it wouldn't happen again. Thanks for the info. I'll give it ago.

Mixing by hand is not necessary
