    Non-slip finish

    Jon, I don't know if you talking about cool-decking or not, but if you are be VERY careful. That stuff is thin, and will crack on its own in a couple of years. I would not want to put any pressure on it myself. Sam

    Stainless Steel Tools

    VOC Strip Either get your self some Silica Gel pouches or a VCI strip. The strips emit a vapor that covers your tools, protecting them from rust. They need to be replaced every 6 months. I like the Bullfrog myself. http://www.bull-frog.com/emitters.html Sam

    Any benefit on one-line YP ad?
