[Grovenet] Cleaning a tub

[Geri]

Chris, I don't know all the details about this,
but there is some way to seamlessly resurface
just the stained and/or abraded parts --  am
remembering a friend who had it done maybe
two years ago (maybe three).

Something to investigate, if it comes to that,
anyway ...
