[Greenbuilding] renewing a cast iron tub

[David Bergman]

For powder coating, yes, it needs to be removed and stripped back first.

I wouldn't mind an in-situ process, but as I think I mentioned 
earlier, I've gotten mediocre reports on the quality and durability 
of those finishes.

Note: I have heard they may be fine for sinks, though, provided you 
don't use abrasive cleaners.
