   I know critics of the epoxy refinishing products will ring in, but here the work is being done offsite -- can you actually fire new porcelain on?

   *I just had one done. (Off site) They used an acid gel of some sort to clean and deglaze it, Chipped out some loose pieces, filled with an epoxy, spayed with a polyurethane enamal, wet sanded, and buffed. The tub looks great, and it's warranteed for 3 years.

   andrew d and drvnputt: thank you. andrew d, i don't think there is a method for firing on new porcelain, or if there is, i haven't been able to locate it. i assume to do so the the original porcelain would have to become so hot as to melt as well? drvnputt, does the epoxy/polyurethane method allow for repairs?

   is there a method for resurfacing an old clawfoot bathtub (not on site) that is better than others?

   Yes it does. In fact I had some chips in the porcelain that were fixed like new.
