Dear Deb King and Marjorie Hagerty,

In reaction to your problem I can tell you that we are manufacturing our own
tape, known as KP Tape and available thruog Mercedes Medical in Sarasota
Florida www.mercedesmedical.com It is also available through Fisher
Scientific, Check their new General Catalog (healthcare section Histology).

As Mrs. Bonnie McMahill tried our KP Tape and switched over she didn't have
the problem anymore.

We hope to see you as one of our new users in US. You can ask for a sample
to try it yourselve.

Yours sincerely.
