Rust-Oleum 7860519 Tub And Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an ancient cast iron sink that has become porous, cracked and difficult to clean over the years. I don't have much money for remodelling, so I bought this stuff in bisque.
It has extensive instructions which involve scrubbing, sanding, and washing the porcelain with TSP. I followed the instructions to the letter except for removing the stainless drain connectors, which are stuck and I'm not strong enough to budge them even when I bought the right tool. So, I painted over them. The package declares that the epoxy surface is self-leveling, and it is so -- even with two coats using a soft lacquer brush the epoxy goes on a bit bubbly, but it becomes smooth and glossy as it dries.
This was three months ago. In the meantime, I resurfaced my counter, painted my cabinets, did other renovation work guaranteed to muck up a sink. I did in fact chip and scratch this epoxy surface, but here's the good news -- I bought another package of Rustoleum epoxy, mixed only four teaspoons worth, and patched the chips -- twice. The stuff keeps in sealed cans, so you have a long-term supply of small scratch repairs. The surrounding epoxy evidently "melts" to accept the patch. I gave the scratches two coats (dry sponging the surface to feather the edges a bit between coats) and you can't tell the scratch was ever there. Now that my construction is done, the sink holds up quite well to ordinary food preparation and dish washing without further mishap. It has not chipped or peeled over the porcelain, although it does give off a chemical odor for a couple of weeks if you fill the sink with hot water.
The surface is not as hard as the porcelain, of course, and you can't scour it. Nevertheless, it cleans pretty well with a soft scrubby and it looks nicer than the old sink.
I give it four instead of five stars because it is beginning to chip around the stainless pipe connection -- but I did violate the instructions by painting this over. And I score it down one star because the surface is a bit fragile and you have to treat it considerably more kindly than a porcelain or stainless sink. But the fact that you can patch scratches to the finish, evidently forever, makes this a cheap and durable fix that will last until I save up for a major kitchen remodel.
