Well this weekend I am taking time off from the deck (still working on the railing) to do the MS Bike tour.  So if these posts helped at all, please consider taking a moment to pledge me at https://msofs.mssociety.ca/2009bike/Sponsor.aspx?PID=1129530&L=2.

 Thanks!  Graham Facer

We’ve now added ziplocks, brochure holders, tarps, tie downs and fabrication supplies to our website.  All told we have over 200 items up now!  If you are wondering where the resins are they are going to be a while.  Right now we ship with Canada Post and they will not ship liquids or gels.  If I switched to UPS I could do some products but not anything that became ‘hazardous goods’ which is many of the resins anyways so I have opted to keep the shipping costs down at the expense of a greater selection.

 Thats all for now!

Well, if you were looking forward to my upcoming projects I am sorry to announce that they have been put on hold.  As of this week our new location in Abbotsford is now open at #21 - 2337 Townline Road.  We’re doing a soft opening until Nov. 5th so that I can pound the pavement and introduce myself to the businesses in the area.  So if you know anyone who needs plastic in Abbotsford - send them our way!

Hello and welcome to my blog on the PlasticWorks Website.  I’m going to try and go though new and interesting things that are happening at PlasticWork’s and some problems that we have solved for recent customers.

One problem that we are working for a customer is a Shower Knob lock out box.  The customer is a local care home and they have a problem where they need to cover the shower temperature knobs so that patients cannot start the showers and potentially scald themselves.  The solution that they have been using is thermostat covers but they have been breaking repeatedly so they thought that a Lexan (Polycarbonate) lock out box that was custom made for them would be better.  I have priced out an order of 100 (all with matching keys of course) and now we have just gotten a prototype ready.  The new box, while it may be a little more expensive will not break without quite a large blow and should be much longer lasting than the previous version.  

Here’s what it looks like:

 In other news, I am trying to get brochure holders and some of our stock fabrication items on to the webstore shortly to join the newly added Fiberglass tools section.  For now, as we ship Canada Post, we are limited to non liquid items but if you all help out and buy lots we can move to a regular shipper like Canpar and ship out almost everything except hazardous goods. 

 If there is a problem we can help you solve, let us know!  - Graham
