  • Resin Buying in Uncertain Times | Tech Tip Friday

    Today's TTF covers buying resin in our current (and uncertain) times.  Despite being what Kurt would call a buyer's market, please remember to allow the seller to cover their costs, so they can continue to provide their support and service.  It doesn't have to be a zero sum game.  Everyone can have a small win.
