RC: zilco tack

[Teddy Lancaster <teddy@runningbear.com>]

BioPlastics Company has come out with better and better BioThane over the past few
years..much of it does not stiffen in the cold like the old stuff used to.  Their new
embossed series (in black and brown) and the Beta series are much more flexible,
softer and do not get stiff in the cold.
