    Yes, very much so. They have different types of other applications too.

    I would say yes as it's recommended for fabric. No experience with A but B is vinyl only.

    Heh, we have a customer that wants a breakdown of where the items come from. They want at least 90% American made.

    Well it's a little work for me and a spreadsheet or 2, but I think we have well over 90% American made with the line they are looking at. Cases and impellers made in a US foundry, most of my components are US machine shop made. O-rings, some fasteners, and a couple seal components from China are about my only detractors, but when literally some O rings are only made in Italy there's not much to do about it.

    Been using it for a long time, first time getting a gallon. Cheaper that way, by a lot.

    The ones in my truck have the "reservoir" along the outer edge...works good, but I don't like picking my feet up over it...

    Gave the elderly neighbor a ride the other day, he spilled his tea on the floor. I pulled over told him to lift his feet, pulled the mat and poured the spill on the ground. He said of all the bs I spend money on those weather techs are worth it! Lol

    Woobies Shoes: Got the style of the old converse. A touch more substantial. Use them hiking and kicking around.
    Not cheap / Not pricey. Have 2 pair.

    Eyeballed one of these last time I was at the saw shop. I am currently using the handy squeeze to measure version. What do you use for measuring? Ratio Rite? Something better?

    Edit: Soundstream! Wow!

    Not sure if you remember but we discussed car audio a bunch when you made your post about it a while back. Truck only has one amp, the D100II(powers a 10" SS SPL sub). JL Audio co-ax F&R and a Sony head unit with "high power" (class D amplification). It's tolerable for now. Car has 3 SS's. An MC500, MC300 and a D100II. + a whole lot more stuff. :D

    I measure the Red Armor with a cup my wife brought home from the hospital. It's triangular and allows me to easily prop it upside down for a few days to let it drain in the 6.4oz bottles that I take in the truck. I've kept a few just for this purpose. BUT.. the place I bought the gallon from also sent a measuring cup. I'll have to take a pic later to show it. I haven't bought a Ratio Rite yet.

    Quite sadly, I am removed to 'stock' radio now. bleh. I did however hang onto my Sub & Amp. These stupid new integrated radios are no fun for a DIY enthusiast. Have decided that if I can make the vehicle move I want to in the next 6 months that I will invest some money into the next vehicle's stereo. Unsure if this means a controller or a new head unit that is compatible with vehicle functions or what. I really miss my 'bumps'. I can make a wifi hot spot with my truck, but the stereo is inferior to a mid 90s whatever in terms of sound. Priorities all messed up!

    Edit: There is a measuring cup on amazon by 'Pit Posse' that is basically a ratio rite with the one thing that the ratio rite is missing...a lid. Showing $11.50 as cost.

    Ratio Rite has a lid available. And it's made in :usa:
    Ratio Rite Measuring Cup With Lid | Parts & Accessories | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

    And you're right w/ todays audio systems. Looks like one of the avenues available is a line converter to connect speaker wires to, to create RCA's for aftermarket amps. I haven't had to worry about that yet.
