Repairing a Kitchen Basin

Here is a common household problem especially in the bathroom. The bathroom basin has got a chip out of the porcelain. Something that most people will decide to go out and get some touch-up paint that use quite a number of porcelain in repair gets around the stores today and you can get the natural color, make very certain that you do get the proper color. But, when you apply it, it is not the thing to do because when you apply it, all it does is masked but it does not fill because there is definitely a dip there which you can see. So, the proper way to do it is fill first so I will show you how to do that.

And I am going to use it right on top of this knife it is much hander because you are not mixing an awful a lot and need it together. I have cleaned the basin here with some locker thinners prior to the application of the epoxy paddy, and now it is a matter of smoothing it out the best you can with the putty knife. And then having that cup of warm water with some dishwasher detergent or maybe four five drops just so you can take it now and smooth it off. There, I have got it almost. In fact, it is just great now I can feel that the cavity is all filled-in and it is nice and smooth.

All I am going to do now is some very fine sanding with some Emory paper. But first, I am going to let it dry for 15 and 20 minutes that allows the epoxy to harden up and then we will be ready for the sanding and the final porcelain touch up. Now, that we have allowed the epoxy paddy to cure, I am going to use some wet and dry, this is a wet and dry Emory paper, but you can use a wet and dry try mite paper as well and we will just sand that smooth. Now I am going--
