[QUOTE="thefirstbert, post: 487656, member: 31580"] Lowe I am actually kicking around the idea of spraying it with white polyurea and antislip grit. I have used it a few times on other projects and really like how it performs. I always have a spare pint or 2 and by keeping all of my projects the same color, color matching my repairs have been pretty straight forward. Not sure yet though. I personally would choose anything over carpet though. It has never been a good choice for how i use my boats. Looks good though but its just not for me. GTS Thanks for the heads up. I know they have changed the PT chemistry in the last decade or so but I still dont trust it or know if its still a problem with aluminum. Like you said, better to stay away until others start reporting long term success. The wife and I sat down and figuered up our finances last night. I will be ordering aluminum bracing and sheets in just a few paychecks from now. Atleast the bracing... Im going to go with AL sheet over foam. I like what everyone is reporting with that method I am also thinking about oxyhydrogen for welding the brackets instead of spool gun due to the malleability of the joint afterwards. Spoolgun can leave a brittle weld less forgiving to flex. Im not sure about that yet. No room in the budget for a tig and I do my own welds... I do know that in about 3 weeks this project is getting kicked back into gear. I hope to have the aluminum done before april. I might wait till next winter to install the jet drives. Anyone have seeds for a money tree? Anyone have any experience with a cheap camera that will provide decent video for youtube? [/QUOTE]
