Trust me friend, I put serious mayhem on it, that dog didn't even know how to spell Hunt! I still have one to go and it has not been harassed yet, so I'm hoping to use more finesse this time. The collars will be here tomorrow so I can mount the new wheels.

I tried oil, heat, everything. I did get it off this morning right after posting this. Dr. Dremel needed in OR 6 Stat! Followed up with a little chisel persuasion. Total Goat Rodeo... I've got to get the other one off now. I had abused this thing for days, so I might have had it borked. I...

I am having a real hard time getting some push nuts off a pressure washer to replace the rotton wheels. I'm afraid i've beat on it so much it may be un-removable. I didn't even know thats what they were till I started having problems doing this 5 minute job. I've watched some youtube videos...

Not sure what you are referring to here. To replace the tub, I have to demo three walls of Rock and Tile.

Thanks!

Here's a pic of the one I am working on at present. That hair belongs to my English Cocker who passed a year ago... This was his bathroom

Thanx for those links, some real answers there for what I'm looking for. Paramount for me is getting the rust stopped, cosmetics are secondary.

I got one tub that is almost this bad like the picture. The other one is barely perceptible, but is trying to get the rust party started. When you have one like the pic below, you have a low threshold for nonsense from another one in your house.

There's the catch. Only way to get the bathtub out means ripping out the tile and that means ripping out the three walls. So at that juncture the tub goes with the demo debris. I didn't know this before, but bathtubs have about 3-4" of metal turned up and tiled over. That's how they keep...

I have some of that around here that I never used.

Thanx! Prime and Epoxy paint better than Rustoleum? 2a) Some type of acid? The Naval Jelly above would do that right?

I can't seem to make myself clear here. I don't care about the Porcelain. I am only concerned with the metal and to effectively stop the rot. Disregard that this is a bathtub. I got a hole in metal, it's got a rusted edge I'm gonna grind off the rust How do I seal the bare metal edge...

It's the coating at the end I'm most interested in. The Naval Jelly is a blast from the past, I'll store that in my memory banks as well. Need a sealant though.

I used the capitalization to try to be clear and it ain't workin' It is not a porcelain problem, it is a rust problem. I need to grind it out and stop it, then put the cover back. I don't know how to be clearer than that... I only know about Rustoleum. My question is: is there something...

You drill a hole in metal. You don't treat the edge of the HOLE. The edge corrodes. It's the edge of the hole. I need to grind the edge of the HOLE down and seal the metal.
