 Nathan shows how gel material is mixed

In front of the fire station Nathan sprays the fire blocking gel using a regular garden house and the applicator nozzle included. 

In the demonstration 1/2 of the pallet was covered was covered with the gel. An intense flame from a propane torch was then applied.

Both sides of the board had the flame equally applied, yet only one side would burn.

 Property owners watch as Nathan shows his stuff!

 While still smoldering the treated side remained cool to the touch.  Coverage lasts for at least 3 hrs and is washed off with water afterwards.

 A typical 1500 sg ft house runs about $400 to $600 and takes an hour to apply. For more details contact Nathan Beber at (760) 985-9820
