    Hi,
    
    I just recently moved to a new barn and there is a proclin tub for the
    water, it has not been used for about year and it is water stained

1222.1	RUBBING COMPOUND!	WAV13::BETZL		`Tue Apr 10 1990 09:08`	6
	Try Rubbing Compound it takes the stains out of my kitchen sink which is porcelin....You can get this at an Automotive or Department Store. Lori
1222.2		NRADM::ROBINSON	did i tell you this already???	`Tue Apr 10 1990 14:04`	8
	I don't think you'd want to use this if horses are going to be drinking out of it, but a friend of mine swears by oven cleaner to de-stain her porcelain tub... Sherry
1222.3	Using a large manure bucket instead..	CASPRO::MCNUTT_K		`Tue Apr 10 1990 14:35`	16
	Suggestion: I really don't care for procelin tubs especially if they are not incased in something (the edges on them can be sharp) and they tend to form more allegey during the summer months! I use a large plastic manure bucket (it was brand new and only used for water so don't gross out!) for my horse's outside water. It takes her about 4 days to drink it and I scrub it every time I refill it (every 3-4 days). It is easy to dump the old water out and clean it. Unlike a bathtub that really can't be dumped over. Just my 2 cents worth (for what my small change is worth). Kerry :)
1222.4	thanks	FLOWER::PIERCE		`Wed Apr 11 1990 07:30`	8
	Thanks I will try all the suggustions..and mybe I will try the Manua bucket also..thanks alot..I never even thought of oven cleaner and I use that for everything...but I will be sure to clean the tub very good Thanks again Lou
1222.5	ANOTHER OUTSIDE WATER BUCKET IDEA	CSMET2::GREENWOOD		`Wed Apr 11 1990 11:33`	9
	re .3 Another good outside water bucket is a Plastic 55 gal drum, (make sure it was not used for chemicals) with the middle section cut out of it. Get one that has a good square base for stability. I believe Very-Fine in Littleton sells them for $5 to $10. All you need is a saber saw and a medium file to fix up the edges.
1222.6	Drums for jumps?	PENUTS::MADAVIS		`Wed Apr 11 1990 13:45`	6
	RE: .5 Would those drums make good jumps? Are they a heavy plastic and fully enclosed (meaning they have lids, not an open end)? I want to build some jumps and drums would be very helpful. Thanks.
1222.7	BARREL COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES	CSMET2::GREENWOOD		`Thu Apr 12 1990 11:05`	7
	re .4 & .5 There are all types of barrels - openable on one end, plugs in one end, flat ended, semi round ended, but all are quite rugged. They should work fine for jumps unless lighter weight is a disadvantage. I have seen them used and they don't rust. Sooooo....
1222.9	Directions to Veryfine	DELNI::KEIRAN		`Thu May 31 1990 14:23`	5
	Take 495 south to the Littleton Ayer exit. Go left at the end of the ramp. Follow about 1/2 mile to wayside gas station and car wash on your left, and take an immediate left just past the car wash. Go over the railroad tracks and take your first right, Veryfine is on both sides of the road.
1222.10	Barrels...	SALEM::ALLORE	All I want is ONE shot!	`Thu May 31 1990 14:41`	7
	Re.08 My wife and I board in Haverhill. Is that where you are located? If so send me mail off line and I may be able to get you a few from our barn. We have several hanging around taking up space and I may be able to get you a few...... Bob
