Statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “1995 Act”). The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “guidance,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Certain risks and uncertainties are identified from time to time in the Company’s reports. Some factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include: market conditions, environmental remediation costs, pension expense and funding requirements, liquidation value of assets, and marketability of real estate and the market value and future liquidity of Detrex stock. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the 1995 Act.One problem that as always been a part of a horizontal wind turbines is called wire twist, were the constant wind change of direction will cause the wire to twist and eventually brake. To solve this problem I devised a simple stop system by drilling a hole through the 1-1/2� PVC just above the rigid conduit, with a �� hole. I placed a 2� long �� bolt through the hole securing it with a nut and lock washer. Next, I placed a 3� piece of �� rod or bolt secured vertically to the end of the 2� rigid conduit, spacing it away from the 1-1/2� PVC so it doesn�t rub. I secured the vertical bolt with 2 hose clamps around the 2� rigid conduit.Cut a piece of pipe 30� long and glue the pipe cap on one end, and the PVC to pipe thread adapter on the other end. Apply a small amount of pipe dope or Teflon tape to the threads of the adapter, and screw the male garden house fitting onto the adapter. Screw the garden hose cap to the male garden hose fitting.Next I needed a way to allow the wind turbine to pivot freely in the wind, so I got a 3� PVC tee fitting. However, I decided to use a 2� rigid mast for my tower which allowed me to reduce the tee fitting down to 1-1/2� PVC pipe which slips nicely into the 2� rigid conduit allowing a smooth turning point.Depending on the temperatures, it could take a week or so before you can see the effects of the herbicide. If the sponge gets too dry you can loosen the cap a little to release the vacuum and more herbicide will be released onto the sponge. Or you can simply turn the tool upside down and that should let some air into the chamber, thus releasing the vacuum. As always, read the label and follow the directions on the herbicide package.Now back to the end of the pipe that you glued the pipe cap to. Drill a very small hole right in the middle of the pipe cap. You might have to experiment a little with the size of the hole you need, but make sure you start with a very small hole. I'd start with 1/16�. Cut a piece of regular household sponge in a square about 1-1/2� square. What you are going to do is place this sponge over the small hole you drilled in the pipe cap, and secure it there by covering it with a piece of lightweight screen or mesh cloth. Maybe even a piece of an onion bag. You can secure the mesh to the PVC pipe with a hose clamp, or electrical tape.The growth in the first half of the year resulted in a working capital increase of $2.96 million, however this increase in working capital leveled off in the second quarter and began to decline as receivables began to catch up. As a result, bank debt increased by approximately $1.7 million in the first half of the year, which includes a decrease of $783,000 in the second quarter. Detrex said it continued to manage liquidity very closely to continue to fund its legacy liabilities. Nonetheless, the Company maintained ample availability under its current credit agreement.The PVC fittings have to be glued on so you'll have to pick up some PVC pipe glue and cleaner. You have to use the cleaner to remove the film and gloss from the PVC pipe and fittings before you glue them. Once you have them cleaned, just apply a coating of glue to both the pipe and the fitting, slide the fitting on and twist it at the same time. Hold the fitting tight for 60 seconds and it will be glued tightly.
