[A/S] Re: stained bathroom sink

[Chris Koehn <timberguides@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christopher-

I chose to replace the bathroom sink and counter in our '79. The 
material is molded plastic, and stains (and fading from sun which was 
more prevalent with ours) seem very tenacious. After removing the 
counter I spent some time messing with it: no treatments an no amount 
of scrubbing improved its condition. 2-part epoxy paint is the only 
permanent solution IMHO. So I replaced it with baltic birch plywood 
with 4 coats of oil modified urethane (my home kitchen counters are 
also wood thusly finished for 4 years and look as good as the day I put 
them in), with a self-rimming 14" round stainless sink. While not 
original, I think the replacement looks tons better and will 
out-perform the plastic over time.

Good luck,

Chris K.
