	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #574

To ease your job of selling and explaining the proper use of FST™ Foam Duct Sealant, we've added a helpful application instructions sheet to the website.

Polywater's FST^™ Foam is an amazingly versatile product, and people find many unique uses for it ... especially in the South. Nevertheless, we like to focus on its primary intended use as a Duct Sealant. To this end and to ease your job of selling and explaining its proper use, we've added an updated FST Application Instructions sheet to the website. This is four pages of step-by-step instructions with descriptive text and very clear and colorful photos. Obviously the PDF can be printed for hand-outs or use on jobsites, but it's especially useful on the computer screen where you can zoom in to enlarge the images for an even clearer understanding.

Polywater® LZ is also available in a cold weather formula, wintergrade Polywater® WLZ.

In Friday Fax issue #498 we discussed the four relevant characteristics of Polywater LZ to keep in mind when selling or specifying:

Compatible with LSZH/LSHF cables
Non-combustible dried residue
High-performance friction reduction
No halogen content

But there is actually a fifth: LZ is available in a cold weather formula, Wintergrade Polywater WLZ. LZ and WLZ aren't intended to replace J or WJ on spec jobs; they fill a specific niche where J isn't an appropriate lube choice (nor is any other lube): LSZH/LSHF cables. J's lower price and shelf availability make it the best option for most high-performance installations. But when low-smoke zero-halogen cables are involved, LZ and WLZ are the perfect drop-in substitutes. They do everything J or WJ do for other cables--including extreme friction reduction--plus offer the compatibility that other lubes can't. The wintergrade option of WLZ guarantees that customers who would otherwise use WJ lose no performance when installing LSZH cables--regardless of weather conditions.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Parking Lot Scam at Lowe's. This is very serious. Read on. This is a "heads up" for those men who may be regular Lowe's customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works: two very hot-looking young ladies come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex while pressing their skimpy T-shirts against the window. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask for a ride to another Lowe's. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen on May 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, three times last Saturday, and very likely again this weekend. Please tell your friends to be careful.
