A Day at Line-X
On May 24, the guys at Line-X had us over to their corporate office to go over their new product possibilities, as well as make us more familiar with the capabilities and applications of their product. We were able to go into the main warehouse, where a demonstration was given on how to apply the company's rock-solid product, in addition to letting a couple of staffers try their hand at dropping some bedliner.
