Today on The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast, Dustin Schlachter of OBIC Products explains why it's critical to be critical of your suppliers, the distinction between polyurethane, polyurea, and epoxy, how they operate in highly corrosive environments that need a quick return to service, and more.
