The problem nobody fixed
Purple primer cans haven't changed in 40 years. Pop the lid, dip the dauber, hope you don't kick it. Every plumber in the trade knows the smell of spilled primer on a hot truck floor. Every plumber has stained a customer's carpet at least once.
We didn't want a fancier can. We wanted a primer applicator that could survive a real jobsite — getting dropped, tossed in a bucket, rattling around in a service van — without spilling a drop.
What we built
A sealed, squeeze-controlled bottle with a precision dauber tip. Tip it sideways, tip it upside-down, drop it on concrete. Primer stays inside until you squeeze. Refill in seconds from any standard can of PVC/CPVC purple primer.
Made by plumbers, for plumbers
Designed by Sebastian Merrell, owner of Sebastian's Plumbing in Houston, TX. Tested on hundreds of joints across his own service calls before the first production run. Patent pending. Made in the USA.
Who we sell to
