I'm thinking of investing in the stuff to do my own boat. Last year the marina charged $10/ft, and
now they're up to $12/foot. The supplies ran me $60 last year.

Wonder what all I'd need to do my own boat? Anyone done it?

Be careful with that big propane torch.


The directions I read said to keep a fire extinguisher very handy!

The price of the propane gun, $650, threw me. I suppose my wife's hair dryer wouldn't work too well.
I was thinking the stuff was like the wing covering I used to use on model airplanes. It's a bit
thicker!

I never have, John. I store mine inside. But if you decide to DIY
then good luck to you. You might also look on youtube, somebody's
probably posted a vid on 'how to'

Now I understand the rule, never own a boat,
have a friend that owns a boat.
