Wood 1010 Wood and Finishing Technology: Larry Van Isagam from Van Technology visits NIWF

We were very fortunate today to have Larry Van Isagam, President and founder of Van Technology, come and spent the day with us to talk about water based coatings. Larry and the students had a great conversation about water base,
which is an ever increasing part of the wood coatings industry.
The students had some great questions regarding their experiences
with the coatings, and Larry was very helpful in explaining how they work, and why we might choose to use a water based coating.
He also demonstrated a few of his products and allowed the students to use them and get some
more 1st hand knowledge of the coating and see what they are all about.
A Big thanks to Larry, who has always been a friend to the program here at DCTC!
