Re: Deck coating / Turned complete restore
Hi ahmincha,
Been catching your thread off and on for awhile now and finally got all caught up with...
Sorry to see it went from a bit of cosmetic work to the full monty, but hey, it is what this forum is all about...
Glad to see you took the initiative and literally dove right in.
You have been doing some excellent prep work so far and I just know you are going to end up with one fine craft when you are all done.
At this time I really can't add anything that the awesome guys helping you out, haven't already covered...
The one thing I will warn you about is that US Composites will
NOT sell directly from their location.
They have an agreement with local businesses in Palm Beach County to this effect
I am only 80 or so miles from them and asked them by phone if I could drive up and pick up supplies, and they said NO!
The only way would be for me to have the items shipped to another county and pick them up there, or just have them shipped to my house, which in my particular case would have made sense...it would have cost me almost the same to drive to a nearby county and pick up my order at the local post office as have it delivered to my home...
The only thing I can suggest is to price the supplies as being delivered to your home versus a county nearby that your friend can pass by and pick up for you...
Let me add that glassing supplies can be quite bulky [3-4 fivers of resin will easily take up most of the trunk space in a regular car and they need to be secured and upright to prevent the possibility of making a really huge mess, should one or more tip over and break open...:facepalm:] and in the heat of a car, can get a bit stinky...which if your friend is on a vacation with family, may be a bit of a nuisance...
Best of luck and Have Fun!
