Robbie's Ignorance!
 
LOW COST MOISTURE DETECTOR::

Robbie goes on and on about his GRP 33.

He's paid hundreds of dollars for it!

Well, take a look at this:

http://www.zircon.com/SellPages/Scan...L/MSProSL.html


I'm sure many of you have a similar device.

Now try this experiment:

1. Take a newspaper.

2. Sprinkle a few drops of water on one side and let it soak in for ten
seconds.

3. Shake off the drops.

4. Now hold the newspaper against a pane of glass and scan it with the stud
detector.

You will find it detects the drops several inches away. It's much more
sensitive than Boobies several hundred dollar gadget!

Only $26.95!!!!!

More sensitive!!!!

Easy to prove to yourself!!!!!!

Buy at Home Depot!!!!

Hundreds less than Boobies!!!!!!!

Aaahaahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Test it on your own boat!!! For hundreds less than Boobie!!!!!!!!!!

Amen!!!

The beating continues!

Here's how a stud finder works:

Here's how a Marine Moisture Detector works:

There's no difference!!!!!

Robbie paid too much!!!!!

$26.95 at Home Depot!!!!!!!!!!

Smaller and more sensitive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAaahaahahaahahaahaahahaaaa!!!!

Amen!

Exceptional!!! Brilliant!.... I'm going to grab my tack hammer and dolly up
my stud finder with a label... then grab my digital camera and go to the
boat yard, tell everyone I'm a surveyor.... and Bob's Your Uncle... I'm in
business!!

Wooooooooooo..... Thank You Mr Crantz!!

Cha - Ching..... $$$$$$$$$$$$..... I'll be rich!!!

By next week I'll have 2 bigger, better & faster boats than Bobsprit, a
harem of German blondes in bridles, 3 sock puppets and enough loot to buy an
entire theatre and a band!

Take That Bobsprit!!

Sorry, won't work. And I actually think you know why! Do you think that
every surveyor uses T-max and other meters when they could use a
cheaper item. Never saw a surveyor without a proper meter...not once!

Works quite well. The newspaper is dry to the touch and I can still find
where the water is!

So tell me why it doesn't work.

You comment about other surveyors is a logical fallacy called "appeal to
authority".

So tell us!.

StudSensor Detection Depth Typically up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) in Stud Scan mode
Up to 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) in DeepScan mode
NOTE: Sensing depth and edge detection can vary due to moisture content of
materials, wall texture, paint, etc.

Find someone who has a boat and try it on a one inch or greater cored
deck. Never saw a surveyor use a studfinder. Think of the money you
could make rebadging them and selling at 300% profits.

I just tested it on 1" plywood. I slightly moistened the backside for 10
seconds. The Zircon stud finder correctly showed the size and location of
the moisture spot through one inch of plywood! Easily!!!!

The moisture meter manufacturers are making large profits, the circuitry is
the same, the box is different.

Really, try the thing yourself. Go to Home Depot, purchase one and try it in
comparison to your expensive moisture detector and see. You can return the
stud finder to Home Depot when you are done, doesn't cost you a dime. Or you
can resell the expensive meter on eBay.

Amen!

Bob Crantz, the man who understands complex permittivity measurement!

$26.95 at Home Depot!!!

Save hundreds!!!!

More sensitive!!!!

More portable!!!!!!!

Marine moisture meter manufacturers make big profits - off of Bobsprit!!!!!

Anyone can simply test all of this for themselves while Bob tries to deny
demonstratable fact!!! Watch him flounder about!!!

Robbie, there's a sucker born every minute. Didn't your birth take several
hours?

Bwaahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa aaaaa!!!!!!!

Costs 1/10 of what Robbie paid!!! More sensitive!!! More accurate!!!!
Better value!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robbie doesn't know the difference between a stud finder and an overpriced
stud finder.

You've killfiled me twice now, under the same name.

If you think that a capacitive type stud finder won't work as a good
moisture detector for fibreglass or wood, you are wrong.

I've given an experiment anyone can try simply. The results are easily
reproducible. Most people have the device in their toolbox.

You call it all crap out of ignorance. Experience will prove you wrong.

I hope you really did killfile me and can't read this.

Hey, this Bozo Bin sound like a really fun place! I'll even bet that
if I top post you'll put me there!

Seriously, why would you even bother reading any of this if you don't
appreciate BC's satire? He is, after all, the best we've got, and
since you've been posting for a month you should understand this.

Basically, I can do without the crap. I read (have done for 6 months I
spose) this NG to get sailing info. If I want satire, I'd go to
alt.satire (or whatever). So by adding Bozo's to the Bozo bin, I cut
the crap, and sometimes... sometimes, find some useful info. Otherwise
I'd have left this NG quite some time ago.

Cheers, I'll see if I can find some others, or make some nu ones this
weekend :) - I found out (on the Labour Weekend trip) that when I got
home the camera had been on macro mode the whole time - oops. So if you
look carefully, *all* the pics are slightly 'non-focused'/'blurry' or
somethin'.

Most of the pics were taken he

We stayed in a wee cove in Little Pigeon for the night - and as you can
tell by the pics, the place (the whole of Banks Peninsula) isn't exactly
renowned for it's fishing.
