Gorilla Grips and Parallign are designed to improve accuracy, aid in adhesive setting, and speed up installation—helping you deliver premium results, faster.
Tait Sales & Consulting (TSC) understands the demands of your projects because we've served the industry from the ground up. Our featured seam setters, Gorilla Grips and Parallign, are curated with one goal: delivering an unmatched seam-setting performance that saves time, reduces frustration, and ensures a flawless finish every time.
Understanding Seam Setters: Parallign and Gorilla Grip
Working Principle Overview
At the core, seam setters are alignment tools designed to hold, level, and secure adjoining surfaces during bonding. But not all seam setters are created equal.
The technology behind Parallign and Gorilla Grips Seam Setters tools combines high-strength suction with mechanical adjustment. Suction cups anchor the tools to the stone surface, while alignment knobs or clamps allow precise control. Whether dealing with stone, granite, quartz, or other solid surfaces, these tools always ensure a level, flush finish.
A seamless countertop improves the visual impact of a space and offers a tactile experience of continuity. It's not just about what the eye sees. It's about what the hand feels when it glides over a perfect joint. Parallign and Gorilla Grip tools make this experience consistent and repeatable.
Types of Seam Setters and Applications:
- Manual Seam Setters: Perfect for smaller jobs and tight spaces. Lightweight, fast to set up, and ideal for field adjustments. These are excellent choices when mobility and quick setup are priorities.
- Vacuum-Powered Seam Setters: Engineered for high-stakes installations where every millimeter counts. Their superior suction power delivers reliable performance with heavier materials. These are essential for long seams or installations with irregular surfaces.
Specialized Use
The Parallign and Gorilla Grip systems support a wide range of materials, making them ideal for any fabrication shop or installation team that values efficiency and flawless finishes.

Advantages of Using Parallign and Gorilla Grip Seam Setters
Why do industry pros prefer Parallign and Gorilla Grip?
1. Seam Quality You Can See and Feel
These tools make it possible to eliminate lippage and produce seamless transitions that look and feel natural. They level and remove uneven spots in stone with remarkable efficiency. The result is joints that are practically invisible and structurally sound. Whether you're joining two slabs of polished marble or matte quartz, the finish will be tight, flat, and professional.
2. Save Time, Reduce Labor
Forget tedious adjustments. With high suction reliability and precision controls, these tools allow teams to complete installs faster with fewer hands. Every installer knows time is money, and these tools pay for themselves by increasing workflow and minimizing rework.
3. Versatility in Every Material
From engineered quartz to natural granite, from polished marble to matte solid surfaces, these tools easily adapt to material density and surface irregularities. They're equally effective in both residential and commercial environments.
4. Built for the Long Haul
Durability is not optional. Both Parallign and Gorilla Grips Seam Setters tools are designed for years of daily job site use and have solid components and repairable parts. Whether you're operating in a high-output fabrication facility or taking tools from job to job, they'll keep up.
5. Critical During Epoxy Curing
One of the biggest benefits? These tools hold surfaces securely in place while epoxy cures, ensuring that seams remain aligned even under pressure. No sliding, no shifting, just a tight, stable joint every time. That's peace of mind for installers and flawless finishes for clients.
Key Features to Consider When Selecting a Seam Setter
Not all seam setters meet the demands of modern fabrication. Here's what to look for:
- Suction Strength & Reliability: If suction fails, so does the seam. Gorilla Grip and Parallign deliver industrial-grade hold.
- Precision Controls: Fine-tune the seam height, angle, and lateral position effortlessly with smooth, mechanical adjusters.
- Compatibility: These tools work across different material types and surface textures.
- Maintenance-Friendly Design: Easy access to parts means less downtime and more productivity.
- Portability: Despite their power, these tools remain compact enough for mobile crews and shop setups.
Consider the physical characteristics of your average projects. Do you work with large slabs, tight curves, or sensitive finishes? Both Parallign and Gorilla Grip have features that support specialty applications.
Maintenance and Best Practices for Optimal Performance
Great tools deserve great care. Here's how to make sure your seam setters perform at their rise:
- Routine Inspections: Before and after each use, check suction cup seals and mechanical joints for wear or damage. Replace any worn parts promptly.
- Clean Surfaces Matter: Debris, dust, or adhesives can compromise suction. Keep all contact surfaces spotless. A damp microfiber cloth can be your best friend in the field.
- Proper Storage: Store in padded cases or designated racks. Protect cups and knobs from impact or environmental exposure. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or high-moisture environments.
- Operator Training: Proper technique ensures maximum effectiveness and extends the tool's life. Knowing how to use the adjustments efficiently can shave off significant install time.
