I once saw ....

an episode of "This Old House" where they showed an old claw foot tub being restored on site by a refinishing company. The poor tub had been painted a hideous pink by the home owner. The guy was using paint stripper to remove the old paint and it came off rather easily ... but he was inside one of the rooms in the house because there was snow on the ground outside. I remember seeing the guy bent over into the tub scrapping the old softened paint with a putty knife. I also remember he had a respirator and a floor fan blowing towards him.
 
John, I didn't think about tubs that had been previously refinished. I've seen ads for such services, but never known anyone who had that done. I can imagine it would be difficult to get the coating to adhere well, especially to glasslike surfaces.
