Dan, We replace all materials with all sorts of materials. Usually it is because of a failure of the top that is being removed. People like change. Quartz is the hot new product, something else will replace quartz in the years to come.

We are replacing solid surface because people have experienced what it is like to live with it.

I never once said we were having failures with quartz, they have been stone countertops. I will post a picture. My comment about replacing solid surfaces was toward the gentlemen that had the comments about natural stone. Retaliation maybe!

BTP has seen failures with quartz and stone due to rodding.

Sorry, don't me sound rude, we are just frustrated with the issue because we do not feel we are doing anything wrong. I had glues tested and one that we WERE using expands when exposed to moisture. What failures have you had?

Dan, You and I discussed this issue at length a couple of years ago and it appeared to me to be related to moisture presence and/or expansion. If I remember correctly, you also said that it has happened with both steel and fiberglas rodding materials. I think at the time you switched to an vinyl ester based product for embedding the rods-has that improved or eliminated the failures? We are currently working on a new product for this application and I can add you to the list of beta testers if you're interested.
