The Beginning
|
|
| A painting and restoration
carpenter in the New York City area, John Stahl was busy using
any repair and patching materials he could find. Not content
with the workability and long term performance of any of the
patching products he was using, John traveled to Europe to
discover any hidden secrets. |
 |

|
Taking the best of the patching compounds he found
from Holland and the UK John worked together with a chemical
engineer back in the States to develop the “next generation” of
repair compounds. In 1997, after a full year of testing, the
ART Repair System was introduced.

|
Today |
|
|
Today Flex-Tec HV and Prim-A-Trate are the new
standard for wood repair and restoration. Used together with proper
surface preparation, Flex-Tec HV and Prim-A-Trate offer a flexible
long-term solution to retain the original old-growth lumber in
America’s historic buildings. Now used exclusively by America’s
finest restoration and repair contractors as well as historic
museums like Colonial Williamsburg and The Adirondack Museum. New
York State Parks, The National Park Service, Maryland and California
Parks all use ART. |

|
The Future |
|
John Stahl and Advanced Repair Technology continue to search for
innovative product ideas including a new system for
weather-stripping double hung windows called
Easy-Stop and a unique glazing compound called Glaze-Ease 601. John
is also active in Hands-on training classes held throughout the US
as well as a regular contributor to
This Old House Magazine and Television show.
