reglazer will address defects

Since you are calling the company that applied the glaze to address bubbles and other minor defects, you should raise your question about lines where the tub flange was masked at the same time. The term corking you have been using is new to me, but caulk will seal small irregularities. If they are abrupt or visible the reglazer will probably sand them down carefully to remove the ridges. The fish-eye or bubbles in the glaze would imply a need to dill and sand the finish and re-apply the glaze to correct the defect. At least that is what would occur with defects in laminate gelcoats.

The reglazing process uses a catalytic polymer that may have either styrene or isophthalic resins that create odor when the catalytic reactiono occurs. The off-gassing goes away fairly quickly but curing odors may persist for a week or two. Concerns about what is in the coatings should be addressed to the applicator who should be able to provide you with a Material Safety Data Sheet that lists the hazardous ingredients and potential hazards associated with exposure.

Remember a reglazed surface is relatively fragile as compared to porcelein. Be very carful about you selection of cleaning products and you should probably get in the habit of drying the tub after use to prevent damage to the finish.
