[TowerTalk] Cushcraft R5 sealing of the traps, What sealant

[Bill Winkis]

Hey Jeff   ...

Look at your paper work and tell us the URL of the/your vendor with a 
better $$$$$ deal......I have been buying from these folks and find 
$15.00 not bad for UPS/FedEx.....
especially when I buy it in length and it comes in a protected 
"Shipping Tube", last time I shipped some prints,  Staples wanted 6 
bucks for the tube...So tell us the name so we can all save a few 
bucks..especially since the gasoline pump is taking all my spare pennies....

Thanks,

-Bill
