Rec'Repair

Outdoor Retailer was a great show for Rec’Repair.  The attendance and vendors were down a bit.  Whether due to the slow economy or the show being moved deeper into the paddle sports season is not apparent.  But some great contacts were made.
We came out of the show with an interested party that might just take Rec’Repair international, offering the canoe and kayak fix to European markets.
Another exciting contact was a car top carrier company, and not the one who recommends their customers to contact us when they damage their carrier.
At the show, we also began showing our improved version of the product:  Color Changing Patches!!  As the material reaches the optimal temperature, it changes color to white, letting the user know when it’s ready.  Then, when it cools, it returns to its original color.  No more guessing if the patch is hot enough.
But don’t get too anxious.  This color change will not be available until January 2010.
Also, in response to a comment posted:  The recommended adhesive for the skid plate application is 3M’s Scotch Weld DP 8005.  A suggested online retailer is http://www.ellsworth.com/.
