actually, i hated that black cast iron sink
from the day i installed it.
killing pots just gave me a really good
excuse to rid myself of it.
gave it to the neighbor who was
doing a major renovation...she loves
it...and i got 1700 brownie points.

kitchen in 40 years. now have one that
i love. when one cooks, it has to be
on the right stove. gas.

Just a thought...

I know that feeling. I have a black porcelain pedestal sink in one of my
bathrooms. Impossible to show as clean, especially in the sunlight, and
since the black is only a glaze, scared silly that I'll chip it. (Have YOU
ever seen a repair kit for black porcelain? No such animal)
Have to agree with Nils on the stove. I wouldn't have anything but gas, even
when a neighbor blew herself through the kitchen wall because she "forgot"
to light it. We think alcohol was involved, but we'll never know, since
there wasn't enough of her left to test.

Actually, there are a number of products out there that would work suitably
for lining a sink to "soften" the blow. One is the liquid bed liner usually
applied to truck beds to protect the paint in the bed from scratching.
Available through any auto part store or online through JC Whitney.
I've also had some luck with using layered coats of fiberglas resin. Put on
in thin, multiple coats, it creates almost a plastic like surface. The nice
thing about fiberglas resin is that it's relatively inexpensive, it's
waterproof, AND easy to clean. After I applied the last coat of resin, I
would soak some cloth in it and apply that over the top, smoothing it as
needed. Seems to have a more cushioned effect, and one can get patterns
from the cloth that are way cool to look at, like flannel
.
No, I do not recommend either of these products for use in any sink that
will have food prepared in it afterward, such as a kitchen sink. For a
kitchen sink, either buy a cheap plastic dishpan or the rubber mat to line
the bottom.

When I was attending Merritt College in Oakland in 1967-68 I was living at
Oxford Hall, a UC Berkeley cooperative dorm (translate: hippies) on Oxford
Street just below the university. Three other roomates and I shared what
had been an apartment at one time - two large bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a
bathroom. During spring semester we got a little stir-crazy and painted the
bathroom a-la Jackson Pollack, with every kind and color of paint we could
find - walls, floors, ceilings, plumbing fixtures, window, door. We
meticulously cleaned the inside of the toilet and sink, and painted them
both with fire-engine red marine enamel, and it held up very well for the
remaining months we were there. Needless to say, we did not get our
cleaning deposits back.
I think the newer two-part epoxy paints would work even better.

They would ( stick well and hold up well, the 'two part
Epoxy' Paints...)
But they may not be...quite so 'Rubbery' as one may wish!
...for that matter one could just 'cast' a Rubber Sink...
Hmmmm...
I wonder...should I intend such a fine, happy Product ( made
to order of course, in whatever color or size) under the
pennant of the rampant Bison?
Best!

Rob -
Well, granted, I haven't let "Far out, man!" creep into my posts, but what
did I ever write to indicate that I wasn't a hippie? Be careful about
assumptions. I'm just an old hippie (by age, that is. I don't feel old at
all, in fact I am delighted that I finally have settled on what I want to be
when I grow up.)
