A Worn Bath
Dear Aunt, Daisy, Would you advise me through The Listener the best means of repairing the inside of a porcelain bath which is worn through in places.
G.H.

Kohukohu,
It will not be a very satisfactory job because the original enamel is baked on at a high temperature. However, here are directions: Thoroughly clean, then tub down with pumice stone or emery paper. Clean with turpentine and let dry thoroughly. Apply a coat of aluminium paint, or zinc-white paint, and when dry, two or three thin coats of white bath enamel, Put on evenly, Each must be | perfectly dry before applying next. | Should take about a week to harden | Properly, For the first time the bath is_ used, fill with cold water and leave for | an hour or two. Can then be used normally.
