SUBJECT: 3M DUAL LOCK WEATHERING REPORT AFTER 4 YEARS OF SUN/UV
EXPOSURE
Dear John D. Smith, President & Inventor of Storm Stoppers®:
As you may recall, I purchased and installed your Storm Stoppers® system
in May of 2005. My house is located in east-central Florida about
fifteen miles from the coast in Brevard County. Recently, I gave the
Dual Lock fasteners on the window and door frames a good looking-over
and thought you might like a 'weathering report':
The 3M Dual Lock fasteners are well into their fourth season of exposure
(I haven't installed CAPS strips) and still appear to be very robust,
both visually and tactilely. When compared to a new, clear fastener (top
photo), the existing clear fasteners on my white door frame trim have
darkened slightly, but other than that, show no signs of functional
degradation.
Overall, you've done a great job with your materials selection, as the
Storm Stoppers® system seems to be holding up quite nicely. If we have
to endure hurricanes -- and unfortunately we do -- I'm glad I've chosen
to protect my home with Storm Stoppers®.
Thanks again for a fine product.
M Spotes Brevard County, Florida
