What they say

>> Awesome. So Tony, one of the reasons why, you know, I've adopted this system, I think, you know, early on in my career, you I started doing epoxy floors and once again, I've been doing them for over 25 years. I've never once had a call back on an epoxy floor with the system I've been using and I've never ground a floor. or I think, you know, uh the people that are watching my videos, you know, more than likely are not, you know, companies that that specialize in floor coatings, doing industrial floor coatings. These are painters like me. Maybe, you know, a one or two man paint crews or even a little bit larger companies. But, you know, typically like me, when I'm, you know, running my painting company, if I'm just one man, twoman, even 10-man crew, I really can't afford to go out and buy a grinder. And it's sometimes a little bit difficult to rent a grinder. And so there are floor systems that, you know, you don't have to have a lot of money to enter into epoxy floors. What I'm trying to show you is that, you know, if you're just one man out there doing residential repaints, you can actually add this to a service and you don't have to, you know, invest a lot of money into equipment. I have a trailer out here. I think it's a 6x8 trailer. I can't fit a grinder in there. I literally can't afford a grinder right now, you know, where I'm at. But this system, I think Rustoleum has come up with a great system where you don't even have to use um, you know, miratic acid, which um harsh chemicals. So the the the neutral cleaners that we're using from Rustoleum are great. They're awesome cleaners. They're not harsh chemicals. I I mean I remember you one time in my career, I was aceting a floor to do an epoxy floor. I dropped the pump sprayer, the lid actually popped off and the moratic acid splashed in my face, in my eyes, and I I I know you don't want that to happen with you. So, I think, you know, I'm like really happy with this system. It's made it easy for me. I think it's a great system for anybody wanting to enter into, you know, doing epoxy floors. And do you have any insight that you might want to touch on that also here? Yeah, it so prep surface prep equipment is always king because you're going to take everything off the top, but it's expensive and in most residential applications likely isn't needed. Now, when you're using a particular primer, you're not making probably as much money in your labor as you could be with the the uh surface…
