During November we will be moving our blending activities to two
separate plants. The solvent based coatings will be blended at a Texas
facility and the water based will be blended in California. The increase
in volume of product ordered has been such that we needed to expand
our capabilities. Since the ThanksGiving holiday occurs in November
followed by the Performance Racing Industry trade show, delivery of
some product will be delayed. Normal delivery should resume in December.
We will be discontinuing certain products that have proven to be very
slow movers.
A/C Help
From Glen at Schottler Engine Service
Wichita , KS
Glen has had success coating Air Conditioning Condensers for Jaguars.
It really seems to "perk up" the systems. TLTD will help
in virtually any situation where you need additional thermal dissipation.
Oven Insulation
From Bruce at Micro Coat
Santa Rosa, CA
Bruce took some WBX that he had blended and not used and sprayed
it inside his oven. He indicates that the oven is 30% more efficient
with the inside coated. The WBX had sat for a while and he was looking
for a way to use it as once it has been blended it must be sprayed
or it will not have a sealed, satin finish, though it will still cure.
2 Stroke Drag Bike
Also from Bruce at Micro Coat
The bike in question runs nitrous and had turned an 8:22 at 158
MPH. After coating the pistons, using TLML and CBX the bike ran a
7:85 at 168 MPH. Not bad. In addition the uncoated pistons would begin
to show damage, after coating no indication of seizing.
Hot Seat
From Tim at B & B Specialties Martinsville, VA.
Running the MCS/MCX combination on the headers and exhaust of a Late
Model Stock, the temperatures under the drivers seat dropped significantly.
The Driver is very happy.
