Yeah, I had members of the immediate family who were both miners and did their mining in Minnesota, and so happens that they had a very warm spot for 3M and thought they could do no wrong.
I tend to think so, too but "don't think 3M makes a bad product."?
Nah, I worked on packaging design for a division of 3M many years back and when the adhesive engineers (or chemists) came thru once on a visit saw that we used "Super 77" spray adhesive in our spray booth, told us that it was the one thing that they refused to use themselves...sure it sticks real well but you have to quit breathing.
