BOOK
A little about the author:
Jack Josephsen is a practical thinker and brings a unique real-world perspective to every epoxy field - from residential flooring to
off-shore repairs.
He also knows what it takes to run a successful business in the modern world of coatings. His company, Real World Epoxies, prides itself on
manufacturing epoxies that perform in the field and is passionate about linking industry know how to provide consumers,
contractors and suppliers with greater clarity, direction and confidence.
A couple of years ago he published his first book, a 210-page epoxy contractor handbook titled: “Finally, real answers for real
contractors – Industrial Flooring”, which is available through NACE
and Amazon. It was written as a way to provide real
answers for real contractors striving for better results with epoxy flooring. You know, all the good stuff that doesn't get covered by
glossy text books or one-day training courses.
Find out why it's received 5-star reviews and have been endorsed by major industry bodies by grabbing a copy for yourself.
What people are saying about the book:
"This a great book for everyone involved in seamless flooring and coating installations. Understanding the process, materials and
environment are key to successful installation and performance satisfaction. Owners and specifiers of seamless floors and coatings can gain a
better understanding of the correct details required to help make tough decisions as to the best products and installers for their
applications."
