And one of my favorite things about this product when I came into the company is if you're using a trowel on or even a paint and I put it down and I make a mistake, which we're all anxious about, if we're doing something the first time, I gotta grind that off.

That is as much work as the actual project.

With Like New if I make a mistake, let's just say you and I are doing it, Eric, and you're spraying and I get too close behind you, I put a footprint in where you're spraying.
