at one where somebody used an acid (ammonium bi-flouride or hydrofluoric) for
the grout and it etched the tile. It is a mess. I have never attempted to

of the Reulin H powder. Any comments?  </span></p>

a crème cleanser, Pro-Link or Emerald are some of the product names. These will

<p>New one for me. Have to do a bid for a hotel with 86 rooms which have
soaking tubs. The owners out east say they had a guy who refinishes them out
there with aluminum oxide. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks<br clear="all">
