GOOD THINGS COME IN THREE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “It’s hard to estimate the savings that Finish Repair provides, but we certainly rely on their epoxies, burn-ins and even aerosols to keep our production moving along,” said Roger Evans, New Product Development and Quality Control Manager of Dallas-based Woodmont Cabinetry. Evans cites instances of doors that have small cracks, crevices or knots that have been saved because of Woodmont’s ability to use Finish Repair stain and paint matching products. “We can camouflage imperfections so that even we can’t see them, and that saves us from reordering the door – plus it means we don’t have to scrap a door,” said Evans. And because Woodmont has a strong commitment to sustainability, it’s truly a win-win situation.

TIPS
Partnering with You for a Perfect Repair Training events and onsite consultation are available to help both manufacturer and distributor repair technicians/installers become expert finish repair specialists. Classwork involves hands-on refinishing exercises to help participants develop solid techniques. As Sherwin-Williams partners with manufacturers and Finish Repair, scrap is reduced at both the manufacturing and installation/delivery levels. Production time is maximized as the need to build new doors and cabinets is significantly reduced. Installation costs are also significantly reduced as installers/technicians can make repairs onsite, eliminating the need to return to the customer’s home or office to install replacement products.
Painting Parts

Balance atomization and fluid pressures as needed to get a good paint application over the parts (verify fan pattern first over a carton board). Make sure to have proper distance between the gun and part (approximately 8”-10”) for paint application. Check the product data sheet for any additional information, characteristics and application recommendations. — Luis Sedas, Wood Technical Service Representative, The Sherwin-Williams Company
