The National Plasterers Council (NPC) has rolled out a new offering for the pool industry with “Smooth Finish”, a new podcast series.

Brent Lane, Artistry in Mosaics and Chair of the NPC Marketing Committee, hosted the first episode, which was released on May 6,2020.

“The NPC’s mission is to be the utmost authority in the preparation, application, materials, start-ups and preservation of cementitious pool interior finishes. We look to utilize this new platform to discuss all topics related to this mission and other matters relative to our members and the community by hosting and collaborating with other associations in the swimming pool business, industry experts, NPC members, and vendors specific to the topic at hand,” Lane said.

In Episode 1, Lane led a panel of pool industry professionals in an informative conversation covering a variety of issues related to how the pool industry is responding to the coronavirus pandemic and the unique challenges faced by the industry.

Topics covered included conflicting information from the Federal, state and local governments and suggestions on how companies can stay informed. Panelists included Chris Marcano ofNatural Chemistry, Rob Romano of David C o o k e Plaster Company, Rudy Stankowitz of Aquatic Facility Training & Consultants, and Dominick Mondi, Executive Director of The Northeast Spa and Pool Association (NESPA).

“We’re hoping to be entertaining but striving to be enlightening,” Lane said.
