I know they make coatings for refinishing tubs, but from what I have seen
they are expensive. I hadn't thought of the black plastic though. That would
be simple and CHEAP. I already have a roll in the garage. Now all I hae to
do is wait for the ground to thaw and find some trained dogs to dig the hole
for me.

Thanks,
Bill
