Removing paint from porcelain tub

07/14/2003 02:54 PM dharrod

I am in a total dilemna... My husband and I live in a 70+ year old house and are trying to figure out how to remove the paint from the porcelain tub in the master.... what won't affect the drain and pipes? What won't cause a flash fire because of fumes by living in a house with gas? help!

I have no idea... it is a flat paint and the whole tub was painted at one time... since then, it is peeling and flaking....

What do you plan on doing with the tub when you are finished because I have a few ideas.
You could use a nice scraper not an elcheapo scraper that has 2 bldes looking thing the scraper that works is from red devil and is a 1 bladed scraper and will do the job but may scratch the tub,so this is why need to know what your plans are to repaint or what?

Thanks! Are you sure that peelaway product is safe going down the drain and for Gas homes? I will start this in about a month and keep everyone posted. I would take any suggestions on the tub and what to do with it....

paint from a tub

I would think that a sponge and some soft scrub would remove it, or maybe just really hot water.
