Quarrycast is made from finely ground volcanic limestone mixed with resin. As a stone-rich alternative to both cast iron and acrylic, it is 100% one piece, hand finished and packed with naturally desirable properties.
Painting Process:
- First rub down surface with a fine abrasive paper to form a key. Wipe down thoroughly to remove any dust before applying paint.
- If the bath requires feet, use a pencil to mark the outline of each foot on the bath. Important: Do not paint over this area as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.
- Following the paint manufacturer's instructions, apply the paint to the bath. Robertson recommends two topcoats. Use a smaller roller or brush, applying paint in a random fashion so as not to create paint lines.
- If the feet need to be painted, follow the above procedure using a small brush or spray paint instead of a roller. Contrasting colours can look particularly attractive. As noted before, do not paint the inside of the feet as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.
- To finish, depending on the type of paint used, apply a coat of water or oil-based matt varnish to add further protection. This is however, not essential.
