Custom Glaze told us of the dangers of using an older bathtub with small children while at a home show. We went to a local store and picked up a Lead test and its results were off the charts. After researching the options it was like I was able to choose between lead poisoning, cancer or Custom Glaze. Not really a decision.....

It is easy to turn and point out the flaws in your competitor’s products. But the fact that your competitor does it for you is a bit too easy. There are dangerous, toxic, carcinogenic chemicals present in our competitors’ products. Our exclusive non-toxic formula looks better, lasts longer and is #1 world wide! Why? Because our customer know what our competition doesn’t want you to.
Urethane Paints Cause Cancer- Urethane paints (like the ones described as “acrylics” by our competition) are known to cause cancer. Occupational Safety & Health Administration lists these products as carcinogens. They regulate them and provide consistent warnings. Click here to read more.
Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent to the industry from a leading manufacturer. This is not us making things up, or attacking their product, this is their own words, to their people, regarding their products (urethane based paints), that we DO NOT USE.
These products are so dangerous that they have to pay extra to ship them as a “Hazardous Material” because they are so toxic!
Think about it: They are not willing to put these products in with the general packages, but you want to have it sprayed on your home, in your bathroom to save a dollar? I wouldn’t cut my budget by eating roadkill and I’m not going to cut my budget by spraying a deadly material in my house, knowingly and willingly, when there is a better, cost-effective, proven alternative that is non-toxic.
Notice that they “call” it a “glaze”?....Hmmm, I wonder why?
Actual Email From Our Competitors
Greetings Everyone,
A few things have changed lately here at HighKote and I just wanted to keep you posted. For starters, we have done our best to eliminate expensive Hazmat Fees. This has been made possible by the re-formulation of our glaze and offering our proprietary CrossConnect Adhesive and reducer in quarts. Our new glaze is still a 4-1 mix product but higher in solids which means you will get better coverage and more tubs done per kit than our old glaze. If you have not yet tried our new UR Glaze product line, give us a call today for a sample… 201-555-0000 or log in to place an order now….
Also, new at HighKote… the AXIS Pro Air NIOSH APPROVED Fresh Air Breathing System.
These Simple Yet Effective Fresh Air Breathing Systems Take The Fear Out of Working With Dangerous Isocyanates, dusts, mists and harmful vapors. The Pro Air comes standard with an air pump, 40' of hose and a half or full facemask for one person. The Pro Air lets you breathe cool, fresh air all day long. You haven't tried anything like this before!
NIOSH Approved for use in any environment not immediately dangerous to life and health.
