OLYMPIC COLOR RODS www.glasscolor.com Newsletter Vol. #1 12/04/01 "What’s New" at Olympic Color Rods Our Website designed by Cort Ockfen and Ockfen & Associates We trust you will be as pleased as we are with our new, very much improved and user-friendly site. But, we are not finished yet... our goal is to continuously improve and update the site. You will find the new color samples to be truer than the color charts of old. The added option of being able to have all colors in a specific color group list at a click has received positive reviews. If you were not aware of this option, give it a try, its great for finding just the right shade. Also, we are working vigorously to get every item in our catalog in a picture format so you can see and/or compare. This site is a work in progress we will strive to keep it as up-to-date as humanly possible. A hardy thank you to Cort, Ockfen & Associates, our participating suppliers, as well as our loyal customers for their suggestions and wish lists... keep the ideas coming. Hope you are sitting for this one. You asked for it, we got it, Gaffer® Coloured Glass from New Zealand. We are pleased to announce that we now carry the New Gaffer® Batch manufactured right here in Seattle by The Seattle Batch Co. Please do not confuse this product with that of a similar name. John Leggett and John Croucher, founders of Gaffer Coloured Glass Ltd, formulated this batch for use with their color. Bonus, it works equally well (compatible) with the gorgeous colors manufactured by Reichenbach® and Zimmermann. Gaffer® originally had a limited pallet, however due to numerous requests, the line has expanded and will continue to do so. The gorgeous array of new colors is in stock and ready for you to try. Those items soon to be added to our site are, Robin’s Egg Blue, Iris Yellow Lustre (reduces), Cherry Red (transparent), Celedon and Salmon. If you just have to try one of these new colors, sight unseen, we will gladly send you a sample piece of rod. Check out the Gaffer® casting colors. They are amazing! Those of you who have asked for an Opaque White formulated just for casting, your wish is about to come true. If you would like to be one of the first to get the new Opaque White, call, e-mail or fax your order now we are scheduled to receive the first shipment around the beginning of the New Year 2002.
