Q: What is the most interesting job site you've ever visited?
A site with blistering coating on application where the team discovered excessive thinner caused the problem; a Zoom call could have identified it, but a four-hour flight and long drive were needed to resolve it on-site.

Q: What is the value of a sole-source approach with Prime Resins and Carboline in these projects?
A sole-source approach reduces liability fragmentation, streamlines project coordination, and provides a unified warranty and accountability framework, which helps owners and engineers manage risk across coatings, leak-sealing, and rehabilitation activities, especially when integrating with Lodgy Ball packers and Carboline's products.
