How To Properly Catalyze Two-Component Coatings | Benjamin Moore®


Benjamin Moore High Performance epoxies and urethanes are two-component coatings. This video demonstrates how to properly catalyze these products for application. Gather your materials: the two-component product, a rag, stir sticks, a measuring container, a drill with paddle mixer, and a paint can opener. Mix each component thoroughly, then combine contents into one container (or a separate container if needed). Blend for 3–5 minutes at low speed, ensuring the paddle is fully immersed and sides are scraped. If thinning is required, add the recommended thinner and mix for another 3–5 minutes. Once fully mixed, the product is ready for use unless induction time is specified. Refer to manufacturer instructions and mix for one minute after induction. Visit your locally owned Benjamin Moore store for expert tips on any High-Performance Coating and tackle your next project with speed and confidence.

Alltek Restoration Provides 24/7 Emergency Services


Emergency Services

We are here to help when you need it. Providing first response to your needs 24/7. Our team will be dispatched to your loss, will assess the damages, explain the course of action required and with your approval start immediately preventing further loss and damages.

The post-loss condition of a structure or dwelling can vary and is specific to each type of loss and the severity of the damage that has occurred. Determining the cause of the loss and the affected area is the first step and often most important. How and what steps are taken can have a significant impact on further damages and what is necessary to prevent or limit further damages to a structure. Alltek Restoration, Inc. provides all emergency or temporary services which your property may require.

Board Up Services

Are very common requirements after storm or fire losses. The damages caused by the actual fire and tactics use to extinguish can leave your property with broken or blown out windows, burnt doors or broken doors, ventilation holes in roofs, and structural deficiencies all of which leaves the property open to access, in distress, and insecure. We will secure all loss related openings with temporary measures securing the property and temporary structural repairs to help prevent further damages.

Temporary Weather Proofing

Your property may require temporary weatherproofing as a result of a loss. Both storm and fire damages can leave your property exposed or vulnerable to weather elements which will cause further damage to your property. Preventing additional damages is key as secondary damages can exceed the preliminary damages.

Content Services

Depending on the type of loss and severity will determine what needs to be done.

Services can include the following: manipulation, both salvageable and non-salvageable / total loss inventory, packing for on or off-site storage, cleaning and restoration, and pack back after repairs.


Mitigation Services

Includes initial loss assessment, determination of cause and source, water category/classification, moisture mapping, and determining the affected areas that require structural drying. Removal of both salvageable and non-salvageable building components, and the placement of required drying equipment as well as monitoring the drying progress until completed. After the drying process, repairs may proceed.

Temporary Utility Services

After a loss, a structure's utilities can be interrupted or shut off until safe operation and use can be confirmed. All utilities are subject to interruption which can make your home uninhabitable or unsafe. After a fire, if the electrical system is damaged emergency personnel will have the utility provider interrupt service to prevent the risk of injury and further structure damages. We can provide emergency repair or provide temporary utilities that are required so repairs may begin.

Water Damage Dry Out Training with American Drying Institute (ADI)


In this episode of Restoration Renegades, Jeremy visits Jerry Blaylock of the American Drying Institute. When a home or business is flooded by a storm or unexpected plumbing disaster, most people call a Restoration expert. Jerry has trained thousands of those experts from all over the country. Together, Jerry and Jeremy "The Adventurer" visit a house built specifically for flooding, where the best water damage restoration techs receive hands on training. Jeremy turns a hose on inside this training home, which is built to the same specs as most homes across the United States. Once the ceiling, walls, furniture, carpets, and flooring are all dripping wet and thoroughly soaked, Jerry will go to work directing his students on how to properly operate the drying and measuring equipment and techniques necessary to dry it all out and save the house.
