I'm getting my paint and epoxy orders in. You folks who were recommending Jamestown Distributors were right: nice website, cool selection, better prices than my "west coast" alternative........
I got one of their 5:1 epoxy kits to try, some G10 backing boards, a chunk of Starboard to play around with, and misc goops and powders. All for about what I WAS gonna get a West System quart kit for! Can't wait to see what sanding nightmares I can concoct with it!
Part of my first order came in, though: blue Kiwi Grip! I couldn't wait to play with it. This is WAY thinner than the recommended application, obviously.....I just dabbed it on with my finger. The purpose of sharing, though, is to show how close it is to the OEM blue nonskid color. I've sanded a couple of spots to see what "NEW" looked like......and it was a very close color match. In my little swatch, you can see that it's too thin and showing through......but this was an experiment to see how it worked. Applied correctly, it looks like it's going to refresh the look considerably!
