What Is A Spin Doctor

A spin doctor monitors newspaper articles that mention the organization he or she is working for. If someone controls the spin, or direction, of an object, he is showing the sides of it that he wants to show while not shedding light on the rest. A spin doctor uses spin control to emphasize or exaggerate the most positive aspect of something. Achieving a flush surface from one tile to another has never been easier. With the Spin Doctor Lippage Control System, you can spin the leveling cap down with ease to the tile surface in seconds. Other systems require tools, use of both hands or awkward repetitive motions which can cause user fatigue when installing large format tile.
