![]() Phillip Smith I would expect a floor like this, in this environment, to last probably about ten years. Investing a little bit more upfront in a quality product is something that clearly we wanted to do. Henry Van Offelen If we were going to air on durability and something we didn't have to worry about for ten years versus in three years, like we hear stories. It's an eighth inch system meeting all regulations, making it very cleanable, sanitary, and hygienic. Phillip Smith This is the deco quartz floor. We used the quartz product that met the standards. The floor behind the bar has worked out great also and looks great. Henry Van Offelen It's a great working floor. Tyler Hawkins Yeah the floor has been amazing. Phillip Smith It has been in production for think a little over a month and the floor looks great. Phillip Smith It all tied together with Tyler, talking with Henry, and showing the benefits of a urethane cement in a brewery. Henry Van Offelen We asked around to other brewing facilities, and one of the big issues in breweries is people end up, after four or five years, re-doing their floor. Phillip Smith I know Henry has seen a lot of breweries and the coatings did not look very good. Ben Bergman We installed a resonance cove followed up by installing a quarter inch urethane cement. After that, we'll put our T100 topcoat on there. SL 45, that is the thermal shock coating. Tyler Day We need a coating that was thermal shock and also USDA approved. Henry Van Offelen We worked with our local Sherwin team and we found a product that would work for that. Tyler Day I reached out to Henry, the owner, scheduled a facility visit, walked the whole floor. Tyler Hawkins The floor is very important to my day to day job. We really wanted to have flooring in the production area that was durable and that we needed to put down once and weren't going to have to worry about it again. ![]() If you plan to apply a Pettit topcoat, use the appropriate Pettit primer-and never cross brands.PM-826945-V Bucks Mill Brewery Flooring Henry Van Offelen This is a new brewery to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. If you plan to apply an Interlux topcoat, use the appropriate Interlux primer. ![]() The answer is usually “Yes.” When choosing a primer, always stick to the manufacturer ’s recommendations, which you will find on the paint can’s label. For more on osmotic blistering and barrier coats, see our West Advisor article on Epoxy Barrier Coats. If you keep your boat in the water for extended periods, you might consider applying an epoxy barrier coat, which will prevent water from seeping into the gelcoat. Note: Chemical sanding, while optional for polyester gelcoat, is recommended for vinylester gelcoat and other blister-resistant gelcoats, which should never be mechanically sanded. Then you have two choices: either sand the hull before applying the bottom paint, or to eliminate the need for sanding, you can “chemically sand” the hull by applying a tie-coat primer that will bond to the hull and the antifouling paint you plan to apply. However, if you plan to apply bottom paint to a new fiberglass boat, you will need to clean the hull and then wipe it down with a solvent to remove vestiges of wax from the factory mold. If you plan to apply the same type of bottom paint that is already on your boat’s hull, you do not need a primer. They must never be eliminated from an application system because they seem to play only a minor part or are covered up by subsequent coats. If they are not used properly, very expensive paint systems can fail. The critical thing to understand is that primers are formulated by each paint manufacturer to work as part of a complete system. ![]() They can be used either as build-up coatings or conditioners to prepare the surface for the application and adhesion of topcoats on specific types of materials. Proper use of primers can spell the difference between a successful project outcome and a poor finish. Primers are paint coatings that serve as an intermediate layer between the bare surface and one or more outer coatings. ![]()
