Or it could be the universe being against me getting my Seawind MKII ketch ready to go back in the water.
Ordered 2 gallons of antifouling paint from Defender, it was backordered, don't know if I missed the backorder notice when I ordered or it went on backorder after I dropped my order. Not a big deal I've still got a few weeks of work to do.
After a couple of weeks I went to the website to see if it was still backordered and was going to cancel and select a different color that shows in stock and found that it had shipped. I figured they are getting slammed hard this year with the world starting to reopen and I'm not the least upset, it is what it is.
Got the shipment today, 1 gallon. Or rather what was left of one gallon after UPS had their way with it. I'm amazed that the packaging contained the paint that leaked out of the can. I found it sitting on my front porch and could smell it from more than 10' away and knew it was gonna be FUBAR. Really couldn't see and real damage on the outside of the box other than it had been obviously handled a little roughly.
I don't blame Defender and I've already contacted their customer service and fully expect them to do right by me and go after their shipper for the damage.
I'll update with the resolution.
