In Friday Fax issue #669 we discussed the four ways Polywater sealants repair and protect transformers. Art Johnson with Associated Representatives in Utah took this to heart and on his own initiative created the display demo pictured here. Art dressed up a partial transformer pad with Polywater products for use at trade shows. He applied InstaGrout in the floor of the pad and allowed it to cure around three conduit sections placed within. In the two larger ducts he demonstrated the application of FST Foam Sealant. One duct, on the right, shows how the FST foam dams are inserted around installed cables to create the cavity into which the foam is pumped. The other duct, on the left, contains a nice example of a fully cured FST seal. In the lower left of the transformer pad window he embedded a length of polyethylene conduit, to which he connected a PVC coupling with BonDuit Conduit Adhesive. Booth visitors can tug on the coupler all they want; it's not coming off that PE pipe. Not quite visible in the photo is the very lower left corner of the transformer pad demo, where Art applied Pad N Pole Repair to simulate the restoration of the pad after physical damage caused by lawn equipment. Near each product Art wisely fastened a descriptive cut-out from a product flyer. This allowed the demo to stand on its own as a selling tool when Art was occupied in discussion with other visitors or needed to step away from the booth. According to Art "the FST Foam was by far the most addressed product," but the entire demo was "very well received." We can imagine. We believe that's in large part due to Art's ingenuity on a demo that was "very well done." This demo is truly and quite literally ... a work of Art. |
