Improved Gluing System for TravelRoller Manufacturing

June 3, 2008 --- TravelRoller has upgraded manufacturing with an improved gluing system. There has been significant efforts and investments made to construct every TravelRoller with 100% non-toxic adhesives. TravelRoller products continue to be Made in Canada. Since TravelRoller's release in October 2007, several gluing improvements have led to the current incredibly durable product available today. Rigorous humidity and hot temperature testing of the latest gluing system is complete and since early May 2008 has been used to manufacture TravelRoller. TravelRollers are backed with a 90-day manufacturer warranty when used as recommended. Always keep your TravelRoller dry and away from extreme heat.

"Throughout production and sales of over 1800 TravelRollers, we have improved the gluing system several times. If any TravelRoller customers are experiencing adhesive problems with normal use or where the it has not held the way it was intended, we want to inspect those TravelRollers and see where we can make improvements to our manufacturing process. We are constantly striving to have the finest non-toxic gluing system in action and every customer is part of a greater team to make sure we have it 100% right as we grow across North America. I just tested one of the latest TravelRollers off the production line and it looks great after 2 weeks outside in the regular rain and occasional hot sun - now this is definitely not within the acceptable usage, but it demonstrates that the TravelRollers are being built the way I designed them. " --- Adam Wood
