Made of a hcavy duty, doublc coatcd, non-woven, polypropylene fabric saturatcd with rubberized asphalt, the selfadhcsive strip covers cracks and forms a waterproof barrier to prevent moisturc and salt intrusion and frcczc/thaw damage.

To make a repair, the homeowner cuts a piece of the material to match the size of the cracked area, peels off the adhesive backing paper and presses the fabric down on the pavement. It instantly and firmly grips the surface, and can be walked on or driven over at once.

A sealcoat may then be applied to the driveway to give it a clean finished appearance.

Weighing only 6-ll2lbs. with a full roll of tags, the tool can secure over 100 tags per minute. FasTagger cuts and staples tags in two widths (l||16' and7 |8") and two lengths (l-318' and2-314") to cover a full range of UPC bar coding and product identification requirements. The same gun will handle all four sizes with a simple change-over procedure.

Also available are weather resistant PolyTags, Legitronic label printing equipment and Eclipse bar code label service bureau.

Selling Decks From A Billboard

A redwood wholesaler and Richmond, Va., retailer have teamed to sell deck boards from a billboard. Literally.

Epperson Lumber Sales, Statesville, N.C., arranged to build an actual redwood deck as part of a billboard in front of N.B. Goodwyn Window & Door Planning Center to help boost sales of custom-designed Palco decks. Epperson's Virginia sales rep, Glen Ehrhardt, often uses the deck as his office, taking calls and answering questions on his cellular phone at (804) 356-DECK.

"It only took six hours to build the deck; the hard part was getting the permits," said Ehrhardt. "We heard a lot of no's."

The deck is being manned throughout June and July. The promotion has received extensive local media coverage and a live radio remote June 27 attracted many customers. Epperson president James B. Epperson, Pacific Lumber Co.'s Burke Hill, and representatives from LWO and 12 local builders and deck contractors were on hand to answer questions.

A $2-a{icket raffle is also being held to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. The grand prize is a customized redwood deck, but everyone entering receives a coupon for $200 off a deck.
