Nevada Coatings Doesn't Like Us and I'm Blue...

Geez NCS thinks I'm bad news and I say hurtful stuff that isn't true. Let us know what you think...scroll all the way down for the first email. 

Thank you
Bill Leys

 Dear Nevada Coatings,
 Thank you for your feedback.

 I will remove you from our mailing list.

 I am very happy to hear that I provide a bit of levity in your life by making you laugh at our moniker.

 You'll also be thrilled to know that I am sharing your claim of having a UL Class A Test (you don't say that it's a UL 790 test though, can you at least confirm that it is UL 790 you tested to? with the world via our blog at www.waterproofdeckcoatingadvice.blogspot.com  by posting the chain of emails we have here.

 We will let the people be the judge and make their own decisions. I am mystified why any manufacturer would not want to dispel the claim that they don't have a Class A rated ASTM E108 or UL 790 test. I have checked at UL's website and nothing shows up under Nevada Coating Systems. Is it under a different name perhaps?


 Here is a screen shot from today showing zero results at UL.com. So I am encouraging you to provide a copy in the interest of dispelling my claim that without a copy of your report, or I'll accept a letter from UL saying that you do...

 I hate to say but your credibility is less than stellar when it comes to sworn testimony so I can't really accept just your word that you have a Class A report.

As shown in Krubinski vs. Aiello / Dearborn Capital Mgt http://www.cftc.gov/ucm/groups/public/@lrdispositions/documents/legalpleading/idkrubinski020199.pdf

; scroll down to page 95 where the judge said quote "... finds him (Krubinski) to be generally incredible and on most matters, less credible than respondents witnesses."
;
 Wasn't there a SLAPP suit you lost badly to Scott Schmutzer where it was shown you had been untruthful about witnessing a lock being cut? I know I have that info in my files somewhere...didn't they order you to pay his attorney fees?

 So you can appreciate my concern to ensure that while I'm publishing your claims saying that you have a Class A UL report, I'm saying provide it so we can verify. Trust but verify. Or in your case, I insist on written verification from independent sources.

 If you do have a UL 790 for Granite Deck that you can forward then I'll print a retraction.

 I find it strange that you claim I'm improperly licensed when you have a D-12 license. I see you added a B after but that's how you started...and ironic when most deck contractors have D12's...
 So rejoice in the shared information/claim that you have a Class A test...

 Thanks

I always get a laugh at your self-proclaimed Deck Expert title.  I suppose you get a star for effort.


 To be clear, we are not providing you feed back.  We are simply asking you to take us off your mailing list as we do not wish to receive your spam emails or be associated in any way with you or your companies.

 To clarify, you are not entitled to our fire testing information since you are not a client of Nevada Coatings either are you an authority on this issue, waterproofing issues or any construction in general.  You are simply an improperly licensed contractor continually impugning others work and efforts by touting yourself as an expert on a web site, when you are not…

 
 Nevada Coatings will not participate in your web games, however we will advise you, Nevada Coatings has been thoroughly tested through Underwriters Laboratory and has achieved a Class A Fire Rating a number of years ago. Therefore if you were truly honest and trying to make a difference in the coatings industry, you would let the two or three readers of your web page know Nevada Coatings has confirmed a Class A Fire Rating, but I doubt you have the courage to be honest.

 To confirm our position, we will not be submitting any documents to you at any time and this will be our last correspondence with you.

 Thank you

 Hello Nevada Coatings,

 We appreciate all opinions and feedback whether its positive or negative.

 As the Deck Expert, I always extend the courtesy of allowing anyone to submit corrections to anything we've said or published.

If our data is incorrect and you do indeed have a ICC-ES report or a Class A report per ASTM E108 or UL790 please submit such so we may print a correction.

 However, please know we are entitled to publish our opinions and allow our readers to make their own conclusions about Granite Deck and the company that markets a Carboline/ Reactamine polyurea as a bona fide pedestrian traffic coating.

So please feel free to submit your corrections for review and publication.

 Dont forget we are running a ad special;  for only $500 a year we run your logo ad at Deckexpert.com and www.waterproofdeckcoating advice.com

 Thank you

 Not only do we believe you are a very dishonest individual, we don't believe you know what you are doing as a coatings contractor and constantly mislead those who are seeking correct information by portraying yourself as the "Deck Expert" or so called "Waterproofing Expert" when in reality you only know how to install one product and not very well I might add.  Furthermore we would NEVER share any of your information with anyone we know, as we prefer to work with professional contractors and manufactures and true experts within the waterproofing industry.

The Himalayan Times Discusses Waterproofing For Monsoon Season-How to Waterproof Your home This Monsoon Season

(Thanks to Bob Seeger for the basic lyrics)

I think I'm going to waterproof Katmandu, 

That's really, really where I'm going to. 
If i ever get out of here, 
That's what I'm gonna do. 
Go Waterproof-Katmandu...

 HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE

The best way to deal with monsoon hazards is to conduct pre - and post - monsoon maintenance

KATHMANDU: The monsoon season is here and if you have not prepared your house for this season it could lead to problems. Leakage, seepage and dampness are few problems that emerge during this season. 

Stakeholders state that water leakage and seepage problems can occur due to reasons such as cracks in surface area, not using densified concrete at construction, lack of proper mixing of concrete, and not following quality construction techniques.

Senior architect ML Kayastha says, "As per the saying 'prevention is better than cure', house owners should compulsorily waterproof their structure if they don't want to face leakage and seepage.

Steaming Pile of Doo...Another Tile Deck Failed With Tufflex Underneath It

I'm not saying that the Tufflex is at fault, but when a deck is waterproofed with a rubber/water based urethane, I don't expect good things to happen over the long term.

Here's a deck in Paso Robles we inspected today that has Tufflex installed by a company that is gone outta biz....to leave the general contractor on the hook.

 

  All sand on the back of tile indicates waaay to much sand was broadcast on Tufflex coating and was broadcast in to late after material started setting. 

Rusted flashing, rusted lath underneath...water trapped under tile can't escape. 

Failing coating on the sunny side of a hot deck. Coating is very thin and applied over bright shiny flashing. 

All in all, another steaming pile of doo. I'm not saying I would never use Tufflex, I'm saying I WOULD NEVER USE TUFFLEX UNDER TILE!!!!

What should you do? Make sure any waterproofing system being applied for tile decking is ICC-ES evaluated, make sure it's installed as per Tile Council of North America spec's or pay the price.
