80 NOVEMBER 2014 COATINGSPROMAG.COM C ontractors in the New England area may need to work around the colder temperatures to get their jobs done; what they don't need to work around is bad food.

H., head to the Blue Mermaid Island Grill where they can pick up a twist on the typical fare. Tey call it "Caribbean inspired cuisine." Shown here is the lobster quesadilla, which is flled with the crustacean chunks, roasted corn, and fresh basil. Tere's a reason this restaurant is celebrating 20 ye-ahs: It's wicked good!

Te durable exterior keeps trafc, impact, water, overspray, and stains away from the surface. At the same time, dirt and debris cannot get between the Skudo covering and the surface being protected. W hen Skudo is peeled up, it reveals a clean, damage-free surface. Skudo's versatility is expansive, cover- ing nearly every surface type, from concrete to tile and carpet to cabinets, with its product range and providing long-term (6–12 months) solutions for a range of construction environments. Worker safety can also be an issue with some surface protection products; instead, Skudo's Mat products provide a safer work surface. Te Mat exterior has the highest slip ratings in both wet and dry conditions. Te work surface is seamless, without trip hazards, and stationary so it won't move with wind or other construction activity.
