With regsed in the composition applied by you to the Ballers and Steam Piper ol this Steamer, I beg to State that it has given every satisfaction,
Tha Donkey Boller, which is on the upper deck and totally exposed to the weather, had a very severe_text last trip, and sean breaking over it continually did not detach any of the composition nor has it in any way deteriorated.
In my opinion it is one of the best non-conducting compositions I have usen and. perfectly self-adhesive.
