Abstract: A pool skimming system for removing debris from a pool water surface comprising a pool water skimmer; a stationary back plate removably connected to the pool water skimmer, the back plate comprising a front, a back, and an aperture; and a vertically mobile, buoyant front module comprising a rear slot disposed vertically, an aperture and a weir, the front module being slideably connected to the front of the back plate by connecting means at the vertical rear slot, wherein the front module moves up and down with the level of water in the pool to maintain a substantially constant position of the weir relative to the pool water surface.

Abstract: A process comprising removing an adhesive-protecting film layer from a peel and stick multilayer article comprising an embossed, anti-slip thermoplastic layer selected from polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonates or high density polyethylene; a water-resistant adhesive layer; and the adhesive-protecting film layer, thereby exposing one side of the water-resistant adhesive layer; and then applying the exposed side of the water-resistant adhesive layer to a surface that is at least partially covered with water.

Abstract: Bio-based wax compositions contain at least one of the following components: epoxides of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, epoxides of fatty acid esters. epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters, chemically modified epoxides of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, chemically modified epoxides of fatty acid esters, and chemically modified epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters. The wax compositions can be used to produce candle sticks, container candles and/or composite materials.
