Рет қаралды 5,552
Күн бұрынDo you have a vintage sink that needs refinishing but feel totally intimidated at the thought of doing it yourself? In this video I did my first sink ever and was blown away by the results! If I can be successful you can too. The product I chose was the reason why my sink turned out beautiful in spite of my amateur skills. After much research, I chose Ekopel 2K and I'm so glad I did. They have wonderful "How To" videos that cover everything thoroughly, setting you up for success. You can start your restoration project with confidence! I"ll leave links to several of their best videos below. You can also click on their website from one of the videos.

I'm soooo glad I found you!! My home came with that exact sink and I've been wanting to restore it from the rust spots!! ❤
@LittleCountryCabin 3 ай бұрын
Glad I could help! A couple things I have observed since using the sink for a few months - this finish is an epoxy, not enamel, so extreme heat can damage it. Take care to not place hot pots directly on the sink. Also, I would suggest a protective mat in the bottom of the sink to protect from scratches from sharp utensils. I clean mine with either bon ami or barkeepers friend. Overall I am still so happy with the result and would use the product again. Have a blessed day❤

Hey friend! I absolutely love this sink. You’re right, they are hard to find. This one was in such good condition and very reasonable I just had to bring it home 😂. We have missed making videos and hopefully we can get back on schedule more now. I agree, Jerry needs to be in more🤗. God bless you Stan for your bold witness. We need that these days!❤️

@LittleCountryCabin I thoroughly enjoy y'alls videos. Jackie the world needs Jesus more than it needs anything else. I'm not a preacher, never have been and never will be. I didn't even get saved till I was 51, but God sure seems to think I need to stay busy sharing the Word and Jesus, - so I'm trying.

We restored our sink over a year ago. Our sink is similar but with a single basin. I love it because all the water stays off the counters. In my opinion they should still make this style of sink, it’s perfect and functional. Ours was really bad and we were thinking what did we get our self’s into. We painted underneath a pretty green. Don’t be afraid to do it because it was real simple. Just be patient and organized, it should be fine. It’s been over a year and my sink still looks great.

you know it is dry when you can no longer smell it. when it stops smelling, you know all the gases are out. I did a bathtub in place with great results. the important part is the cleaning and prep work. I did my bathtub years ago and I did get some lumps here and there, but it wears just like the original. I will also add that you need not be afraid of using a grinder to bust the rust around the drain and other holes. Bondo is your friend around those holes.

Great video! Any updates on how it’s handling the biffing and banging of pots and pans? We have one that came with our gut-job remodel home. It’s in pretty good condition, but with yellow basins. I’d love to figure out the best plan. But I cooked with cast iron, and it’s really rough on the sink so I’ve been hesitant.
@LittleCountryCabin 7 ай бұрын
We just installed it and started using it. It’s holding up very well! I’m careful with my cast iron for obvious reasons and also I don’t set hot pans directly on the sink. The new finish is very tough but it is epoxy so extreme heat could damage it. Thank you for the great feedback and have a wonderful day❤️

We just got it installed and using it daily. I’m very impressed at how beautiful and strong the finish is. One thing I’m careful with is my cast iron for obvious reasons. Also I don’t set hot pans on or in the sink. The finish is very tough but it is epoxy and extreme heat could damage it. I’ll for sure be doing an update video soon. Thank you for the great feedback and have a blessed day❤️

Thanks for the video! You made it look so easy. I looked on Amazon and the reviews for this product state that it stained easily and they couldn't get the stains out even with bleach. What's been your experience? I wanted to use this for my kitchen sink.
@AnyKeyLady Жыл бұрын
Looks great but is it food safe? I am also looking into re enamelling some cast iron cooking pots. Have you done this before or is it something you need to send away for spraying/baking?
@LittleCountryCabin Жыл бұрын
The sink was my first project to refinish. I wouldn’t advise trying to do cookware because the product is actually a very hard epoxy, not a true enamel. You could contact the manufacturer and get their advice. For cookware I would definitely look into having a professional do it. Thank you for the great feedback and have a blessed day❤️
