[Rhodes22-list] Question for Roger?

[Kroposki]

Roger,
	Do you not only eat crayfish, but also before you get your first
paycheck start selling the new product.  I suspect you are already
getting calls from realtors.
	The question is, 'Was the president a boater, a sail boater?'
If you don't know the answer, call him immediately to get the answer.
And, ask if he is selling his product to the sailboat industry.  Who is
national sales manager is?  
	I can see why you accepted this interview, a good match.  Way to
go!  What is the lead time on getting an article in 'Sailing' or 'Good
Old Boats'?  You are on your way to national recognition.  Way to go!
	P.S. Remember to contribute to the 'Rhodes List'.

Dear Stan,

If you've been following the list this week; then, you know I had a job
interview with Isotec International, Inc. down in Canton, GA.  Isotec is
in the urethanes business.  I'm writing to you to let you know about a
series of Isotec products intended for the recreational marine industry.
The following link will take you to the appropriate page on Isotec's
website:

Does your manufacturing facility bump up against VOC emission limits
down there in N. Carolina?  Are your styrene emissions limiting your
ability to produce product or expand your operations?  If so, then you
might be particularly interested in Isotec's ACRYLOBOND-EXP product, a
two-component polyurethane designed to be an environmentally friendly,
drop-in replacement for the polyester resins currently used.  As a
polyurethane, I would imagine the UV resistance, impact and abrasion
resistance, flexibility & resistance to crazing, & resistance to osmotic
blistering would also be much better.  What would you think about
polyurethane/glass fiber reinforced Rhodes 22's?

Your committment to continuous improvement of our R-22's is well known.
When I saw the spec sheet for this product, I immediately though of you.

I don't know about relative cost of the Isotec product vs. the polyester
resins you currently use.
