  • Why and how to NEVER waste time stripping kitchen cabinets again (well maybe once in awhile)!
  • Knowing which equipment to buy and why (Dr. Dan’s only recommendation to finish like the high-end pros and to make the big bucks – separating yourself from “the average finisher” so that there’s no competition!)
