re: Cast Iron Sugar Kettle with Fish

I've had a 4' iron kettle in BTR for about 20 years. For awhile I put 4 gold fish in every year. Heat and egrets got them. That was with bare iron. Then rust scale began building inside. I cleaned with grinder & wire brush. Then sprayed with autobody primer and finally brushed with pool liner epoxy. Buying one precoated will be far less work.

Stopped trying fish when a new dog jumped in the kettle every time he saw a fish... just a fountain now. Prices look good based on my one experience.
