Now that everything has been prepped, it's time to apply a coating of the bonding agent with a clean cloth. This coat will need to dry about five minutes before you're ready to move on. Open the window and put on your mask. If you don't have a window, put on a respirator. You're ready to spray on your first coat of primer.
While waiting for your tub to dry, it's time to prepare the room for spraying. Floors can be adequately protected by drop cloths and tarps. You will need to mask off everything else using masking tape and either newspapers or plastic. Taking these precautions prior to spraying will save you a lot of time and grief cost to reglaze cast iron tub in the long run.
Bath tub liners are not always the most economical options, but they are definitely cheaper than purchasing a brand new reglazing tub. You really don't have to wait for ages for this to be installed. If you are worried about after mess cleanup, well, there is virtually none.
Needless to say, because Carol had just spent her life savings on the purchase of her home, there was not a lot of money in the budget to turn her eye sore of a bathroom into a place of escape and tranquility. Not knowing how to accomplish this task on a shoestring budget, she asked me if I would offer her some advice. So here is the advice I gave Carol.
You can have a protective bathtub liner made to fit your tub which can be installed in a matter of hours. A bath tub restoration liner is a good choice in that it protects the tub from unsightly chips and scratches and doesn't incur the extra cost of plumbing alterations or floor and tile work.
Hiring a professional to refinish your bathtub means guaranteed results. If you were to try to do the job yourself your bathtub may end up looking about as good as a Porshe that has been painted with several cans of spray paint. Hiring a professional means they come back and redo the work until you are satisfied.
Draw a map of your home's water system. This may come in handy in case of a plumbing emergency as it will guide you to all source points of water hence you will be able to them off to avoid any damage to property. Each member of your household should be aware of this map and know what to do in such an emergency.
