PLYMOUTH, IN - Effective April 4, 2005 the price of all North American production gel coats and specialty products will change. Production gel coats will increase by $0.04/lb. and Specialty Products (tooling gel coats, patch booster, webbing and wax solution) by $0.06/lb.

This increase is due to rising energy costs and the continued escalation of raw materials used to manufacture Gel Coat such as polyester resin and Titanium Dioxide.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and understanding as we strive to maintian the high standard of quality that we have achieved. We look forward to maintaining a long and prosperous business relationship with you in the future.

If you have any questions regarding this increase, please contact your local sales representative.

Sincerly,

Marty Lester
