Each kit has been assembled based on years of experience supplying installers through our roofing trade counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003eRather than supplying the bare minimum, our kits account for the realities of roofing work — including lost rollers, contaminated brushes, hardened tools and the need for clean mixing equipment throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003eMany competing tool kits reduce quantities to appear cheaper online. However, installers often find themselves short of rollers, brushes or buckets halfway through the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eFor this reason we recommend always comparing kits \u003cstrong data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003elike for like\u003c\/strong\u003e based on the number and type of tools included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2170\"\u003eA few extra tools in the van will always cost less than \u003cstrong data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2170\"\u003elosing time leaving site to source more tools mid-installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2175\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2222\"\u003eDesigned Around Real Installation Workflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2224\" data-end=\"2305\"\u003eGRP roofing installations are often completed by two installers working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2570\"\u003eTypically one installer lays the laminate while the second installer follows behind consolidating the laminate using paddle rollers. Our kits include \u003cstrong data-start=\"2457\" data-end=\"2511\"\u003emultiple extension poles and consolidation rollers\u003c\/strong\u003e so both installers can work efficiently during this stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2667\"\u003eDedicated rollers are also included for topcoat application so laminate rollers are not reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2669\" data-end=\"2672\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2674\" data-end=\"2725\"\u003eGRP Acetone for Cleaning and Surface Preparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2816\"\u003eEach kit includes \u003cstrong data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2760\"\u003eGRP acetone\u003c\/strong\u003e for cleaning, surface preparation and tool maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2818\" data-end=\"3011\"\u003eAcetone is used to wipe laminate before applying the topcoat. This not only removes sanding residue but also slightly softens the laminate surface, helping promote good inter-laminate adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3013\" data-end=\"3109\"\u003eThis step is particularly important if there has been a delay between laminating and topcoating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3111\" data-end=\"3202\"\u003eAcetone is

buckets so resin and topcoat can be mixed separately, helping prevent cross contamination between materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4204\" data-end=\"4322\"\u003eExtra buckets are also included to allow for normal site waste or buckets that cure prematurely during warmer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4324\" data-end=\"4479\"\u003eAnyone who has worked with GRP knows that \u003cstrong data-start=\"4366\" data-end=\"4432\"\u003elosing a bucket of catalysed resin on a hot day is not unusual\u003c\/strong\u003e, so we account for this in the kit
