Pump: The Four Letter Word Most Contractors Avoid
Sponsored by Graco Inc. | Presented by Bryce Gapinski
Webinar On-Demand
If you pull up to any jobsite in the United States and watch the mixing and application of mortar products, one thing will stand out to you: it’s a very manual process. While the industry has seen little innovation over the past century, safer products are coming onto the market, but the adoption is slow. In this webinar, we will explore existing methods of mixing and applying stucco and EIFS, their pros and cons, and what the barriers have been towards the implementation of pumps.
