Re-Tinning?

[benjym]

Does anybody know anywhere in town where I can get a copper kettle re-tinned? I just picked up a used simplex kettle for cheap, but the lining is thrashed. Alternatively, anyone ever tried to do it themselves? I have access to a metal studio, but don't really know where to start.

Try Akers Metal Polishing Plating & Repair on Richmond. Akersmetals.com.

Have no idea how good they are, or what they charge, just found them by Googling "retinning houston."

Have used Akers several times over the years. (Never for cookware.) But they've always dealt squarely.

Just sayin'.

There is a man in New Orleans, LA that re-tins copper cookware. His name is Lambert Joesph Gonzales III and you can find his phone # listed. Here is a link for information about him and his art. I do not know if he takes shipments but I do know he is honest and an artist with his work. http://www.marthastewart.com/article/...
