False Creek Tugboats Ltd 433 W, 17th Ave Vancouver BC V5Y 2A1 To Terry Laing Ship-2-Shore November 23, 2004
Dear Terry, For the past eighteen months we have been refurbishing out 1945 built steel tug Sea Champ. One of the first jobs we performed at the shipyard was to chip and de-scale the steering flats. We then painted a coat of Ship to Shore industrial onto the bare steel. After a few weeks the steel in this damp unventilated location appeared unchanged by moisture. No Rust. We were sufficiently encouraged to consider replacing the badly rusted deck and frames of the lazarette immediately forward of the steering flats. We did this with one coat of aluminum paint and one coat of Ship to Shore industrial. Whereas one coat of aluminum paint on bare steel will start bleeding rust within a couple of days, the aluminum painted steels in the lazarette today looks exactly as it did 6 months ago when the job was done. The predominant color is silver, with a waxy pink tinge from the Ship to Shore. The surfaces constantly drip moisture in this unventilated part of the boat, yet there is no indication of rust anywhere.
The ability of Ship to Shore and PLID to neutralize the action of rust in difficult to paint and inaccessible areas present new possibilities for extending the life of steel vessels. We are still working through our five gallon pail of industrial, but we will need another case of the spray cans of PLID. We find more and more uses for this versatile product.

Hi Terry Attached is the photo of the test sample. This sample has been out in the weather for about 18 months. The heavy rust area was bare steel, and you can see the effects of corrosion. The darker heavier product is the S2S industrial. It is amazing to see where the S2S was removed with the razor blade. The steel is in as perfect condition as it was 18 months ago.

We are feed manufacturer's on Vancouver Island, B.C. Our fleet of trucks deliver animal feed from Victoria to Courtenay on a daily basis. We first became involved with Ship to Shore in 1987. Our fleet of trucks were subject to rust and corrosion due to road salt and the feed products themselves. Ship to Shore has improved these problems with remarkable success. We recently sold a 1987 Ford LTS 8000 that had been treated annually since new. There was no deterioration on any of the body parts. This helped to realize a higher sale price.
Ship to Shore also helps the maintenance side of things because they are easier to disassemble. There is no rust or corrosion to deal with. We recommend an annual application of Ship to Shore on any vehicle, whether it be a commercial vehicle or your personal mode of transportation.

K.G. Wardstrom Industrial Gas Ltd. #211 - 9654 - 192nd Street SURREY, BC V4N 4C6 January 21, 2004 Attention: Terry The anti-corrosion treatment you applied on our service trucks is proving very effective when compared to the trucks that were purposely not treated. The application of the ship to shore on the electrical terminal strip we were having problems with has solved the corrosion problem and the random shut downs have disappeared. The PLID product is not only being used successfully as a penetrating oil but has also turned out to be an excellent lubricant and protection for my shotgun when hunting in the salt water marshes. I sold one can of PLID to a friend and he sprayed his hovercraft motor with the product. This eliminated the shutdowns he was having when salt water sprayed the motor. A number of other Hovercraft friends have since purchased the product and reported successful results. One of my employee's races cross-country motorcycles. He was having problems with the wheel bearings rusting and experimented with replacing the factory bearing grease with XHD. This has proven very successful. While we may be applying your products to non-traditional applications, we are very impressed with all the results so far. Yours truly, Ken Wardstrom UP TO PAGE INDEX

 

Ocean Cement (now Lehigh Northwest Cement) We received this note from one of the largest Tug and Barge companies on the BC coast who have been using the Ship-2-Shore rust inhibitors since 1998. I spoke to Paul and he says they are using the PLID in aerosol on tugboat winch controls (bronze and brass) with excellent success. No more seized valves.

We basically needle gun all heavy scale/rust, coat the affected areas with a Rust Converter, allow for curing of Converter as per manufacturers recommendations, overcoat the Converter with a cheap (Grey) primer and then apply your product (Ship To Shore). We have performed this application in the shaft tunnels, bilges (Engine Room & Aft Holds) and chain lockers on 3 vessels up to this date, "success rate is excellent". Regards Paul
