Restoration of cast iron bath

On duty, I am closely associated with baths, and today I would like to tell you about the new technology of the restoration - the coating liquid acrylic (not to be confused with enamelling). This process is characterized primarily by the fact that the composition is not applied by roller or brush, and flowing under its own weight and is held on the surface due to its viscosity. A couple of words about the bath - a sample of Chinese origin, who was swimming about 45 days from Guangzhou to Peter in the storm season, and then by road from St. Petersburg to Moscow. As a result, about 50 pc. of the container 280 beat against each other and against the walls, causing significant damage and sobsno a need for a new coating.
