WCIIB Appoints Hollenbeck

Appointment of Paul R. Hollenbeck as executive vice president of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau by the WCLIB executive committee has been announced b1 Aaron fl. Jones. the chairman.

Hollenbeck was executive vice president of the Lumber Association of Southern' California until about a year ago when he resigned to devote full time to other lumber-oriented services.

He developed a series of two-day management clinics which have attracted somt' 5,000 retail lumber dealers in the U.S. and Canada. They taught planning, budget- ing, pricing and accounting for lumber items.

He operated a data processing system for lumber retailers, tying capital control, pricing and accounting together. This serv' ice is being sold and will be continued by experienced lumber management people.

Lumber Service Company that Hollenbeck started in 1949 produced a Market Analyzer. a new concept in multiple pricing for retail lumber yards which avoids collusive legal problems. It is in wide use west o{ the Mississippi.

A frequent speaker at industry meetings, he addressed the National Lumber & Buildine Materials Dealers' Association convention in Dallas, November 19.

West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau supervises the grading of lumber {or some 300 sawmills in Oregon, Washington and Cali{ornia. It is the rules'writing agency for West Coast species in the Douglas fir region and grades pine species in the ter' ritory it serves. WCLIB also maintains a technical stafi working in wood research and with municipal code and insurance rating groups.

New Plywood Primer

A major breakthrough in latex tech' nology promises to eliminate the perennial problem of "checking," or cracking, in painted plywood.

The new latex, a self'curing vinyl acetate binder for plywood primers, was revealed by the Resin Division of National Starch and Chemical Corporation during the 29th annual Paint Industries Show in Chicago.

More and more cities, counties and states are amending their building codes to permit the use of Pyresoted wood for the con' struction of roof decking and nailers; studs, plates, blocking; temporary parti' tions in all types of fire-resistant buildings'

Primers formulated with the new base do not prevent the plywood from cracking, National savs. Rather, the primer o'stretches" to hridge the gap. thereby maintaining film uniformity and smooth appearance o[ the top coat. Conventional primers (usually alkyd-base materials) crack as the wood splits u'ith age. This causes the top coat to r:rack and necessitates {requent refinishing. National's new resin-called Resyn 2802 -overcomes these problems by producing a {ilm that is extremely tough and flexible. To demonstrate the new material's superi' ority, National conducted a series of punishing acceleratecl aging tests in which latex-primed plywood panels were compared to alkyd-primed panels. The tests consisted of five alternating cycles of 4 days at 9() percent relative humidity and l00o F, followed by 4 days in l20o F drying ovens.

The latex-primed panels were rated excellent. No cracks were discernible in the top coat and the panel presented a uniform, smooth appearance. The alkyd-primed pan' els, on the other hand, showed numerous cracks and were given an overall rating of poor.

Excellent for siding, cabinets, paneling. Recommend it with confldence because beauty improves with age it's lifetime, trouble-free. Full range of sizes alwavs available at INLAND.
