Ohio contractor buys USA Tips
Eric Seaman, a Toledo, OH, sealcoating contractor for 30 years, has purchased USA Tips, manufacturer and supplier of ceramic spray tips for sealcoating equipment. Seaman said USA Tips has been supplying ceramic spray tips for 24 years.

"These tips actually help contractors save money because of the sealer they save spraying such an even pattern for so long," Seaman says. "I have used these tips for 20 years and have always felt they were worth the extra cost."

The ceramic tips come in three sizes: 80/50's, 80/70's and 80/100's, with either 1/4- or 3/8-in brass. Seaman said the tip's plastic tip retainer has been changed to protect the tip even more.

USA Tips can be reached at 1-800-USA-TIPS or at www.usatipsonline.com.
