As soon as I'm settled I'll be getting an order ready for some epoxy. I got ride of the last little bit as I didn't trust it. Start with some fresh epoxy to kickstart the build.

Tom Piperdown, very sorry to hear about the 2nd round of cancer!!! I hope she is doing well now!! Jeff Thanks Gents! Bee...

Any update on the foam manual?
I recall JM was working on it but was wondering if it was out and I missed it.
