  8. I like to teach in an atmosphere of casual hilarity. You WILL have fun, wear weird hats and eat weird food; ABOVE ALL, you WILL learn
  9. Tip: For 2011, start off right with a carpeted work space. Apply carpet to your work table and you will have a soft, easy to clean surface.
  10. Tip: Handle at bottom of pressure pot regulates how much grit moves through the hose. Experiment with ratios, find the perfect mix for you.

  16. Take care of your glass! Your very best cleaning friend it hot water. Holding a blasted shower door under a sink faucet is a little tricky.

  18. Probably the most intelligent thing you can do to achieve a smoother texture is to regulate your grit to air ratio! - Butch
