Gruber Consumables

Tooling Clay
Tooling Wax is used to create a smooth radius between the edge of a floating bowl mold and the surface of the vanity deck on which it is positioned. It is available in 13 different size's. Tooling Clay is used for the same purposes as Ex-Wax and Tooling Wax. Like Ex-Wax, no special applicator tools or heat are required in its use. The clay can be extruded in the size required through the Gruber Clay Extruder. Clay comes in individually wrapped 4 oz. sticks. The sticks are packaged in either 20 stick, 5 lb. boxes or 200 stick, 50 lb. boxes.

Masking Tape
Masking Tape is used constantly by cast polymer manufacturers to protect mold areas such as back splash door hinges, mold edges, and polydomes during gelcoating and casting. Masking Tape is available by the case in widths of ¾", 1½", and 2".

Silicone
Silicone is the perfect all purpose adhesive and sealent for the installation of kitchen, bath, or any product exposed to any wet environment.

Faucet Hole Rings
Our Faucet Hole Rings are a real time saver for manufacturers. These waxed cardboard rings are positioned and set in place on the vanity mold to create holes in the finished product where the faucets will be installed, saving drilling time later. Installers need only to pop out holes prior to faucet installation. The Faucet Holes Rings are available in cases of 1000 in 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8".

Buffing Supplies
Gruber Buffing Tubes, used in much the same manner as our buffing bricks, are available in not just one, but three abrasive grades: Mild (White), Medium (Green), or More Abrasive (Blue). The Buffing Tubes are sold individually and can be used in sequence to gradually smooth the surface. The tubes are wrapped in cardboard which can be peeled back as the tube is used. Gruber's Buffing Bricks (X-29) are an all purpose fine abrasive compound that is ideal for everything from buffing minor scuffs and scratches on mold surfaces to polishing finished parts. Formulated in a dry, brick-like form, Buffing Bricks are sold separately in boxes of 10, or per pound in barrels.Gruber Buffing Pads come in several styles with or without Velcro. Three styles are 100% wool, while a fourth is a 50% wool, 50% polyester blend. The buffing pads are intended for use with rotary buffers and can be ordered individually or in cases of 36.

Pigments
Brocom pigments are engineered specifically for cultured marble and solid surface applications. Formulated for long shelf live, these quality Brocom pigments can be stored almost indefinitely, and are easy to use, requiring no formulating or adjusting. Custom color matching is available.

Protective Film
Gruber protective films are perfect for protecting the finished surface of all of your cast polymer products. Designed to protect the finish of any product during shipping, storage, or installation, protective film is the best way to insure your product looks as good as the day it was made.

Mold Care/Release Wax
MR Release products allow manufacturers, following mold break-in, to achieve multiple castings from a mold without reapplication. Our MR line includes MR Sealer, MR-GP which is recommended for molds that require tooling such as floating bowls, vanity decks, custom set-ups, and MR-HI-Tec which is recommended for modular molds, tubs, accessories, and in solid surface production.

Misc Supplies
Bowl clips are used with the Floating Unit Assembly to attach undermount bowls to the vanity top. The screw of the Floating Unit Assembly fits through the slot of the Bowl Clip, resulting in a firm, solid attachment of undermount bowls to the vanity top. Known as "t-nuts" to many, FUA's are placed in the ungelled matrix. When the marble cures, they provide a solid anchor for attaching undermount bowls to vanity tops. A paper tab on the FUA assembly allows it to float on the matrix. It also serves as a spacer for the proper positioning of the FUA when used with speedy plugs. Our FUA's are available in cases of 1 000. Cotton Wipes are made of special lint free fiber construction that is both durable and yet disposable. They are great for waxing molds and general cleanup. Cotton Wipes are available in 1 0 lb. or 25 lb. boxes.
