Tricks of the Trade

I saw this tip in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of the Marine Fabricator.  It’s a handy trick for storing your zipper chain rolls.  Most of us struggle with keeping a roll of zipper not only clean, but untangled.  This tip will help.

All you need is an 18-quart tote, with a 1″ hole drilled in the top from a hole saw.  Simply put the roll in the tote, remove the cardboard sleeve and feed the zipper (from inside the roll) thru the hole.  The tote’s are easily labeled with a magic marker for quick identification. 

Your zipper is now clean & untangled!

This tip comes from Keith Purves, owner of Riverside Covers in Ft. Myers, Florida

Open House

If you want a free lunch, and in the Jacksonville area stop by for our open house, 10:00 – 4:00.  Tour the facility, meet the staff and walk away with some door prizes, specials and a full stomach.

Cold Seat? Heat it up!

If you’re like me, you don’t like sitting in a cold seat when you get in your car in the morning.  The past few weeks have been freezing here in Cincinnati, really hammering the fact.  Looking for a solution?  How about our Road Comfort, Relaxor massage and heater kits!  We have 6 & 8 motor kit that’s easy to use and install.  Below is a link to some information on our website.  Feel free to give us a call (800 543 0448) for more.
