Uses

Consoweld, in common with similar products had a wide variety of uses. It was used in aircraft construction, house building and electrical applications. The main use, however was as a worktop or to a lesser extent as a decorative finish for other domestic surfaces.

Consoweld advertisements often stressed commercial use, for example the Hoffman House Restaurant in Madison was subject of a 1967 advertisement.
