A Couple Product Updates
We now have white ice paint packaged in 1 Quart cans instead of full Gallons! WHY? Have you ever had to deal with leaves, sticks or something burning heat holes in your ice?
White Ice Paint over the top of them blocks the sun from hitting the dark spots and thus stops the ice from melting in those spots without chipping the leaves out of the ice. Available online here.
