Dear American Clay Community,
I have been pondering one of the major challenges facing the construction industry today. Training seems to be one of the greatest shortcomings that I have noticed. Having said that, I can not stress enough the value of doing one of the many American Clay training courses around the country. They are invaluable in providing a better understanding of our products and how they work. Of the many aspects, here are some of the results:
- A better understating of surface preparation for a number of different substrates
- The pitfalls to avoid in the application process
- The specific qualities of the clay that make it different to other coatings
- Comfort in the use of the material when you are creating a unique surface
All of these lead to a greater success rate for the application of our products, and lead to a more satisfied customer. So if you have yet to experience one of our training opportunities, make sure to check our web site for the next one nearest you!
