rckuehn, Ahh, then what's cookin in OH with sales efforts? Are you finding the lack of official product certs, etc, to be a major blocker regarding sales?
Have you tried the steel mills in Cleveland? I know LTV has been idle for a while, but they're going to start it up again soon if they haven't already. They could use Nansulate in many ways in a steel mill. Worker protection being one way, and possibly more efficient blast-furnace, and other mill, processes.
I wish I was as confident about Petrobras as you are. Seems like Petrobras is buffalo'ing INTK. The longer it takes to solidify, the more changes there are for change/cancellation (but hope not).
Let's hope Coats is impressed with the single plant case-study and makes the decision to apply Nansulate more of a wide scale manner. That would be big. And same as you, I hope the UAE and/or the Prince is serious about Nansulate.
