RODBOND, NEW--

Greetings to all
The big event is about upon us. I will be leaving for Hi-Point this coming thursday, merely 3 days hence. I wish to announce that we will have at the Trondak booth our new 10min. Rod Bond. It has a working time of 10 minutes at 75 deg. F. I managed to whomp up a large lab batch and packaged it (by hand yet) in miscellaneous jars laying around just waiting to be used for something like this occassion. Ask for a demonstration and I or Dan will be glad to oblige. We have a very limited number of samples and I guess its first come first served. We have already sent out samples to various distributors etc. We have not yet mixed a production batch, as the formula was not pegged in time to get production quantity raw materiels before the show. Dan can give you information as to when our first production batch will be ready for shipment.
Also we will have a sufficient quantity of finishing spatula's at the booth. Last year we ran out about the first hour after the show opening. That spatula has become so popular that we intend to include it in the catalogue at the next revision.

Hope to see all of you at the show

Ralph

Hi Ralph! Good to see your post on the new product. I am quite sure you will be happy to know that there will be no "Flocking Bluebeard" event held this year! Looking forward to seeing you again. If you still have it please return my cherished "Ralphees Liquid Thread" dispenser.

THANK YOU SIR!!! I guess that the 30 minutes I spent begging for the product last year DID pay off indeed ... YEAH! I can barely wait to spend a few minutes with Dan again AND to check out this latest product.

1) Did you color it uniquely as we discussed?
2) Can it be used on tip-tops and removed via reasonable heat application?

Thanks again!

Ralph,

I use Rod Bond for repairing the wood in my pindecks in our bowling center. Dang tuff stuff !
It takes the riggers of balls & pins pounding it, without chipping out. If the faster glue is as tough, it;ll be GREAT !
