Application technique for WB-P53
In addition to the Black Foam Roller referenced in this video and guide, we have determined another foam roller that works very well which can be ordered on Amazon. It is the FoamPRO 176-5 Fine Finish Mini Roller Refills (High-Density Foam) (5 Pack), 6″.
With the water-base innovations to WB-P53 made in May 2019 being two bottles and option to add water,
there is no further need for misting denatured alcohol.
Your gains with this system:
1) Easy to learn and easy to do. You should have total success upon your first install.
2) Our coloring system and recipes quickly and simply yield the most “authentic” finishes “stunning” finishes.
3) On-site installation only takes 2-3 days for the average kitchen, installers are netting $2,000 – $3,000 per install.
4) Off-site fabrication (MDF is the substrate) taking only a couple days yields a quick on-site installation of just a couple hours.
5) The “show-ready” sample boards you make during training will get you installations. Showing them will get you business.
6) Seen repeatedly on national television, consumers are asking for Granicrete. Those leads are forwarded to our network.
7) Being the only countertop resurfacing system certified by the National Sanitation Foundation, commercial specification gives you the advantage.
Your customers’ gains:
1) Resurfacing their existing tops is a “green” alternative and a “Made In America” popular choice.
2) Our system is several times stronger than natural stone for impact resistance. (Granite and natural stone are actually fairly fragile.)
3) Granicrete is far more stain resistant to natural stone.
4) Our surface is non-porous and far more resistant to food-borne bacteria.
5) Damage to our surface from cutting, chipping, burning, etc. are all repairable where natural stone is not.
6) Natural stone is subject to seams disrupting the natural flow and natural unsightly “birth marks”, our tops do not have these faults.
