Subject:Basic question - poptop seals
From:W. Silva

Another question.  Three years ago we replaced our seals with ones from Bus
Boys-mistake.  They are very thin and fragile.  I had also made by far the
WORST mistake anyone can make by removing the flat seal, leading edge of
pop-top.  The one Bus Boys sent was just the same round rolled as the side
and didn't fit at all well. I have since bought a flat seal from someone
else and glued it on but I remember at the time, learning from some vendor
on the list that they had a aftermarket seal available that was ONE
piece-three sides with the roll-type seal, one with the flat seal,
completely assembled, no cutting or gluing.  For the life of me, can't
figure out who it was.  Does anyone know?  Time to replace them again, this
time I want to do it right.
