<<< Thank you Stefan. I will take a look. After some searching on
the internet
I did find one place here in the Denver metro area that does re-
tinning and
is willing to work on these two pans. I'm looking forward to getting
them
fix and enjoying them for years to come. >>>
I'm surprised you found someone so close who could do this. Although
it is possible to do the re-tinning yourself, you are likely to get a
better finish with someone who has done it before and has the
equipment set up to do it. If you do this, please let us/me know so
we can know for the future as well.
As Aelina mentions, I would check to make sure they are using a lead-
free finish. Also considering how old these pans are, I would test or
get them tested before re-tinning them. You might need to removed the
lead-containing tin which is already on them first, before re-tinning
them. It is also possible that the tin does not have lead in it,
whether applied as a liquid film or done with electro-platting.
