PLYWOOD IS FOR CARPENTERS

GATORBACKS ARE FOR MASONS

GATORBACK mortarboards and pans increase the workability of mortar by as much as 30 minutes because they don't pull water from your mortar. The impervious smooth surface and patent pending Perma-Contour design keeps moisture where it belongs -in your mortar! Keep your crew busy installingunits, not wasting time "shaking up" mortar. Old school plywood mortarboards are costing you more in wasted material, labor, and production, plus they don't hold up. GATORBACKs are made from a new & improved super-tough polymer that is nearly indestructible. Leave your plywood for the carpenters - GATORBACKs are for masons!
