FST-250

Announcing another exciting new Polywater product, the FST-250. The FST-250 is a new package option in the Polywater FST line of foam duct sealants. It contains 250 ml (8.5 fluid ounces) of the same high-performance foam as the other packages, but delivers it in a caulking-gun-style cartridge. If the advantage of this innovative approach isn't obvious to your customers, be sure to point it out: the high-ratio ratchet application tool required to dispense the foam (known more familiarly as a caulking gun) is inexpensive and readily available at literally thousands of locations throughout the country. Many customers already own such a tool for other purposes, such as applying RTV silicones and firestop products. For those who don't, we offer one (catalog #FST-TOOL250). Note that the FST-250 does not replace the FST-180; it's in addition to it. Now customers have another option. Like the FST-180, FST-250 cartridges are available separately or in kit form with gloves, damming material, positioning rods, etc. More info will follow soon.

Ray Harlow of Young & Company, Polywater's power utility agent in Southern California, sets a standard of sales excellence and product representation that would be hard to match.

With all due respect to the millions of wonderful, hard-working people living in California, sometimes the way their State "rolls" seems to those of us in the rest of the country a little ... Hollyweird. This is especially true for a small chemical-specialty company (such as American Polywater) trying to do business there. Wending one's way through the labyrinthian and often contradictory regulatory superstructure can be daunting. But Polywater has help, extraordinary help. Ray Harlow of Young & Company, Polywater's power utility agent in Southern California, sets a standard of sales excellence and product representation that would be hard to match. With his efforts--and there has been lots of it--Southern California is where Polywater enjoys some of its finest success. It's not enough to thank Ray for his service; we must proclaim loudly and publicly to his peers that he is among the best we have ever worked with. He is to be admired and respected. Thank you, Ray.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Confessing the Confession. The new priest was nervous about hearing confessions, so he asked an older priest to sit in on some of his sessions. The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions. The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this. The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on, I understand, and how did you feel about that?'" The new priest says those things, trying them out. The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee and going, 'Holy crap! What happened next?'"
