It was one of those weather days yesterday, when in the morning it was back and forth between downpours and humid sunshine. I decided outdoor work in the blueberry field was a washout. SO, I called it a day and went to apply the first coat of satin polyurethane over 3 coats of epoxy on the dock steps. I added Epifanes Brushthinner to the mix for this project and boy did it make a difference. Much silkier than hardware store thinner. I am hooked on this stuff now.
A few pictures of what I saw.
He is not going to see this but, I would like to give a shout out to Mike at Specialty Marine Solutions in E. Falmouth Mass. I placed an order last Thursday for Epifanes satin polyurethane. Did not expect it until the next week. It came the next day, Friday. But it was the wrong product, it was gloss instead. It was their mistake and they owned up to it. They immediatly shipped out the correct product and sent a UPS shipping label for a pickup. Well the UPS guy delivered the new order to a different location on the property and missed the pickup. E-mailed Mike to let him know, he said no problem I will send a pickup request. A few hours later I decided to use the gloss for the O'Day sailboat tiller/rudder britework. I asked what the charge would be to purchase the gloss and he said how about $30, sold. Half price of the $61 product with no shipping charges. I scored and made lemonade from lemons. Epifanes Polyurethane Clear Gloss, PUCG.750 This guy will get my business in the future. This is what West Marine charges for the same product.
Oh and the day cleared out later with the help of 15-20 kt. winds.
