In Response To: Material: angrier by the minute with CLC (wwfloyd)

Out of curiosity, what was CLC's response to your complaint?

: I had posted below about needing PROPERLY SIZED foam strip for my hatches.
: Several of you suggested that I need neoprene, and I want self-adhesive
: material that is 5/16" thick x 1/2" wide.

: CLC provided 3/8" thick by 3/4" wide. That's just stoopid! It's
: clearly the wrong size. One might argue that 3/8" would compress over
: time, or with exceedingly heavy hold-down pull. But, the hatch kit makes a
: 1/2" wide flange/channel -- period.

: I don't have a marine supplier nearby, and I have wasted HOURS on the web
: searching for this material. I know it exists, because I've found
: industrial suppliers that only sell in bulk, or, one place with a minimum
: order of $50 + $15 shipping.

: I'm really resenting CLC not providing the right stuff, for both the time and
: money involved in doing it right. This is a heck of a way to conclude an
: otherwise satisfactory build. Can anyone direct me to a known source from
: which I can buy 5/16" thick x 1/2" wide neoprene tape with one
: self-adhesive side?

: Thanks
