Yup, she did. When I looked into this stuff back when it first came up (?... things come around a lot and I can't be sure that the first time I saw it was The first time!) I went looking for it and no body local would sell it by the gallon. They all wanted to sell based on their minimum order quantity (IIRC it was either 5 gal or a case of four 1 gal cans). I assumed because distributors don't want to sit on stock anymore these days.

So thinking a 5’er would do 8 canoes or 2-3 trailers ... wonder what the shelf life would be ?? if it lasted a while we might get around to using it all ... Bit Pricy for just a onesy' and twosey' ...

Sometimes you can write the manufacturer and get coupons .. we just got PPG coupons for $8, /ga. rebate on Paint .. That’s $16 back in the old trailer building fund ... Never hurts to ask eh ?

After Rosey had tried it, I was all in, but I couldn't find a west coast supplier. I was OK with the quantity but shipping that stuff across the country would have made it too expensive. Hey... whatever did happen to Rosey...

$63.58 for two gallons here and free shipping.

That doesn’t seem like a bad price at all eh ? Product reviews were good ..

Rosey ? ... guess she quit “the Job “ and moved back to Colorado ... Must have been the Humidity ... ... Haven’t heard from her in quite a while ...

Picked up my HF trailer today. $299.99 on sale and then a 25% off coupon, came to $226.78. You just can not build a trailer for that price. It would cost over that for just the supplies.....

That’s SUPER !!!

Been a busy weekend between the car and the trailer. I got the HF trailer on Friday. It took about 2 hours to get it to where I could get everything set up for the floor and body.

I needed to cut wheel wells out but, needed to see where the wheels were going to sit first. I found a good spot and cut the floor.

Then I was able to place the body on the floor with the trailer.

Not yet, but I do know about it. Nice thing about these hubs is that they have a grease sert on the back side of the hub.

Looking real good. Glad to know there are lots of us adventurous enough to build outside the box...

Adventurous or enlightened ??? Foamies , the Thinking man’s (or Ladies) trailer ...
