Curing CIPP Liners at too High a Pressure
“I cure my liners at 20psi but one of your sales trainers told me I’m curing it at too high a pressure. I don’t think I have a problem and my liners look good after I’m finished. If I don’t cure at that pressure won’t my liner shrink and not adhere to the pipe wall?” […]

Winning & Losing in the Market Place
“I’m in an area that mostly digs up and replaces the pipe. When I present CIPP lateral lining as a possible alternative, most of my customers would prefer to dig up the old pipe and put a new one in. Do you have any tips that would help be more successful in presenting lining over […]
Comparing Epoxy Resin to Polyurea Resin for Coating Applications
“I’m interested in coating drain, waste and vent piping. One of your competitors uses epoxy for coating pipe and you use polyurea. Is there really any difference when all is said and done or is most of this advertising hype?” There are some very distinct differences between the two resins.
