Thank you so much for your videos. I just started reglazing tubs a couple months ago and started suuuuper green. All of your videos have helped me so much. Use the same gun as you, do alot of realllllly bad condition tubs and make them look beautiful. Guy hired me on without experience and trained me right, but for some reason I'm a natural with the gun, even regrouting and respraying tile surrounds are going really well for me. I honestly don't think think I could have done my first couple weeks without these videos though to be honest. You are the person that actually encouraged me to give it a try and I have not regretted it!

It’s not recommended to use a bath mat with auctions cups as it will work against the coating. However, there are bath mats without suction cups that can be purchased via Amazon.
