Actually I wouldn't be shocked to learn that manufacturers sales of
colored glass were off 50% domestically. It's been a plummeting market for
years now.

This probably means a decline in the need to learn turbo soldering, eh?

I don't know about the other companies, but Bullseye and Uroboros are
doing well still.

Facts, financial reports, or just a rumor? How can they possibly be
selling as much when Chinese ripoffs are .99 cents a foot? Gotta be
impacting them on SOME big level.

Speaking of Chinese.....

A couple of weeks ago I stopped by Armstrong's warehouse. They were balls
to the wall getting huge orders picked and packed for several container load
export shipments to Finland or Norway or Germany or somewhere over there.
He told me where they were going, I just don't remember exactly.

I didn't get the impression that Armstrong was crying the blues over sharply
declining sales.
