Abrasive pad

Roller
Brush

Gloves Note: Be sure to turn off the water to your sink, tub or toilet at the water-supply line before starting this project. - If the item you are resurfacing is portable, take it to a well ventilated area (figure A) to be resurfaced.
- Remove any metal fixtures and sand any rust spots that may be present.
- Put on gloves and eye protection and scrub the entire surface with an abrasive cleanser using an abrasive pad -- and rinse.
- Now prepare the surface with an abrasive pad and lime remover -- and rinse. Repeat the process if necessary.
- Now sand the entire surface with a wet-dry sandpaper (figure B) and rinse the area thoroughly to ensure no grit remains.
- Allow the surface to dry and remove any remaining dust particles with a tack cloth immediately before painting.
- Mix the epoxy coating according to the manufacturer's instructions and apply a thin coat with a brush (figure C) or roller.
- For best results overlap each row by 50 percent. Allow the epoxy to dry for the recommended period before apply additional coats.
- Allow the surface to dry for at least three days before exposing the fixture to water.
- When it dries, install new fixtures, reconnect the sink and your resurfaced porcelain will look good as new.
