Common Questions:
What exactly will we be physically doing in class?
All students will have their own stations where they will conduct their own sample boards. The concentration portion of the class will be more of a group participation project where the class will often
be on a real job site.
Do I need prior epoxy experience?
Not at all! Our classes consist of an array of individuals, some who've never touched epoxy to people who work with it for a living but want to learn how to work with a high quality long lasting epoxy.
What time does class start?
Class is from 9 am - 3 pm give or take an hour at the end of the day depending on what is going on in class at that time. If you arrive early please do not enter the building any earlier than 8:45 am,
otherwise we will ask you to leave ... just kidding! You can certainly wait in our lobby if needed but please do not wander as it can be overwhelming for our staff to properly get everyone checked in.
Do I need to bring anything?
A pen for notes, clothes you dont mind getting epoxy on, comfy shoes, and measurements! During your time here you will get an exclusive discount off your entire order. Our tech team will help
calculate needed products and go over any application questions you may have.
How will I survive the lunch hour?
Our treat! We will take a lunch break everyday and pick up the tab at one of our favorite local restaurants!
Where should we stay?
We recommend staying downtown on Main Street or at a residential location within walking distance of Main Street. There's a handful of mom and pop shops, galleries, restaurants and
breweries on the main strip. There's plenty to do all year around as well! Check out the link below for fun things to do while visiting.
