Quik-Pox Resin

Comparing Resins

“I am looking at your coating machine as well as your competitors. One uses polyurethane resin, one uses epoxy resin, and you use poly urea resin. I’m a little confused as to which way to go. Can you tell me why your resin, the poly urea stuff, is better than the others? Also, isn’t poly […]

Tip: Weighing Cubetainers

When applying a coating to DWV pipe, weigh the Cubetainers before applying the polyurea resin. Record the amount you calculated for that segment of pipe and record the beginning weight of the Cubetainers together. Apply as many coats as you think you need, then weight the Cubetainers after. If you meet or exceed the amount […]

Coating Do’s and Don’ts

“I bought your Quik-Coating equipment a year ago and everything was working great until this past week. I applied 6 layers of resin and 2 days later I got a call that the sewer line was plugged. I returned to the job and stuck my camera into the pipe. What looked perfect when I left […]

Additives To Resins – What You Need To Know!

“I had a supplier tell me that he was getting a “stronger” resin that the regular epoxy resin for lining you sell and that it would be a better choice as it’s stronger. Is that true or is this just a sales ploy to get me to buy their stuff?” Let’s review the standards for […]

Should CIPP Liners Melt when Temperatures Rise Over 150F?

“I installed a competitor’s liner and it ‘melted’ and sagged and plugged the sewer pipe I’d lined. My question is why? I thought the resin used in these systems was stronger than other materials.” All plastics aren’t the same. For example, if you are plumbing a high efficiency gas furnace or water heater, many manufacturers […]
