Tip: Bounce and Bugs etc

Bounce This Along 

Our US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers ... Put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.

Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just veer around you.

All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that are not opened too often.

4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home ... Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put a sheet of Bounce in your vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car ... Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.

14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers can put a sheet of Bounce in their back pocket to ward off bees.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

22. Wet a Bounce sheet. Hose down your car. Wipe love bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

23. Put a sheet of Bounce in your suitcase when traveling, it will help keep mites or any other critters out of it. While you are at it, travel with several Bounce sheets and run them up and down your bed linen before getting into bed, it will cause all the critters already in your bed to run. Keep a sheet in your suitcase even after you have unpacked to protect your suitcases from bugs nesting in it.

Quick! Bounce this along within the next 5 minutes! Nothing will happen if you do not, but your friends will be glad to learn of these litte hints!

Sansin Introduces ‘Ready-To-Use’ Foundation™ Wood Primer

Many try to strengthen UV absorbency in wood stains or add white pigment to lighten finishes - at the cost of clarity and beauty of the final finish. Sansin Foundation™ primer penetrates and protects wood, regardless of how light the top coat.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 19, 2011 -

The Sansin Corporation today announced a ready-to-use formulation of Foundation™, a water-borne primer for both interior and exterior wood surfaces.

Architects and homeowners often decide against light or natural tones for an exterior wood finish since they traditionally do not provide as much protection against UV rays as darker finishes.

Sansin Foundation™, which applies invisibly, creates UV protection deep within the wood, allowing for the lightest of finishes to bring out the natural beauty and distinctiveness of wood while maintaining clarity.

“The industry has tried to strengthen UV absorbency in wood stains or add white pigment to lighten finishes, but that comes at the cost of the clarity and beauty of the final finish,” said Sjoerd Bos, Vice President at Sansin. “Sansin Foundation™ primer penetrates and protects the wood, regardless of how light you go with the top coat.”

Sansin Foundation™ is a low VOC base coat that applies easily and evenly, and protects the wood for up to one year, simply needing only a wash with soap and water before finishing. Sansin Foundation™ can be used on the most popular wood species including fir, pine, spruce and cedar.

Sansin’s environmentally friendly Foundation™ primer will:

 Ensure dimensional stability
 Reduce checks and erratic movement
 Prevent discoloration, including joinery
 Improve top coat performance
 Deliver superior UV protection for wood tissue
 Repel water
 Enhance the natural moisture resistance of wood surfaces by supporting breathability
 Treat wood with a moisture content up to 25 percent
 Clean simply with soap and water before finishing

For more information on Sansin Foundation™, call 800 767-4916 or visit the Stain buttons at www.LogHomesByJack.com or www.sansin.com

About Sansin

For 25 years, Sansin has been the only wood protection company focused exclusively on researching, developing, and introducing environmentally-friendly, ‘water-borne’ interior and exterior wood products and technologies that deliver outstanding color, durability and performance without the toxicity found in conventional stains. Sansin Enviro Stains use water, not oil, to deeply penetrate and protect wood naturally, from within.

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Sansin has dealer locations across Canada and the U.S. To learn more about The Sansin Corporation, its line of Enviro Stains or how to become a Sansin preferred dealer, visit www.sansin.com.
