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

Issue #803

Four quick news items:

One reason Sharon Hindahl is so good at her job is her ability to turn lemons into lemonade. Case in point, we may or may not have short-shipped an order. When the distributor called for some customer service on the matter, Sharon used levity to defuse the situation, saying in her email: "The order must have slipped thru the cracks ... sorry for the slip-up." Then, in case her meaning was missed, she explained: "That's a little cable lubricant humor!" With Sharon greasing the skids, business always slides along much smoother, making your job easier.
One lemon even Sharon couldn't salvage was Polywater Clear Silicone (cat #RTV-10). Its sales were sliding into oblivion. The product is discontinued effective immediately.
On the positive side, a new package is born: MXR-20T-10. This is a 10-pack of extra mixing nozzles for the FST-MINI or SolidSeal Foams, in case those supplied with the kits prove insufficient in quantity.
The changes described in #2 and #3 above are now reflected in our most recent electronic Distributor Price Schedule for 2014 (revision date 3-5-14). We did not feel these minor changes warranted a full-scale pricing broadcast, but know that if you want the latest file, it's available for the asking.
