I would appreciate your comments with reference to using Celotex as a foam core laminated with glass cloth and epoxy resin, for a superstructure on the DE25, as I have a set of plans I purchased about 4 years ago. Doesn't time fly? :D I have access to a range of thicknesses up to 7 inches, all 8' x ...

One of the benefits of Protecta-kote is that it is dense enough to hide sanding imperfections as well as delivering a non skid surface. Here is a British link, but I guess there are suppliers overseas. It's also UV resistant. I finished the entire interior of a epoxy ply skiff and was on the water v...

Why are you chaps still knocking yourselves out with the sanding. Follow the instructions.

There will be no Altairnano when EeStor get really started. It's about price. Altairnano are hoping to get their price down from $2 to $1 per watt hour. EeStor published this. # For a 52 kWh unit, an initial production price of $3,200, falling to $2,100 with mass production is projected.[6] This is ...

Just thought I'd up the ante with this information about battery power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEstor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZENN_Motor_Company I do not think we are looking at a scam here. What we could be seeing is one company developing a pr...

If I may contribute.
