Question

Alternative Patch Materials


I am looking at many of the new patch materials that are available and would like opinions or history on the urethane cold patches. We get so many calls for tiny little repairs that are not profitable to consider. We recently had a salesman demonstrate a 5 gallon bucket kit in our equiptment yard that was pretty nifty. My concern is will the material perform over time?? Anyone have experience with this kind of material? To be able to knock out a small job in 15 minutes is very appealing... I dont know if I should name the product so I wont unless its ok. I'm new oh and nice board here. nice to meet everyone.

thanks

Lin

Welcome Lin.

Bob should show up before long. May as well go ahead and say what you're wearing now and save time.

BTW - are you talking about vinyl flooring patches?

Thanks for the link. Looks like they offer a comprehensive product line. I inquired today about where to purchase their SppedCrete products.
