years ago we needed to redo our 12x12 tent..green roof white sides...bombproof when pitched right...
any way,got the stuff from smiths city..looked for all the world like PVA glue,even smelt the same.... I stripped down to shorts and got stuck in,painting the stuff on..the roof was problimatic but got it done plus quite a bit of it on myself.... finished job and went to clean up...ever tried to wash waterproof armpits??? it just doesnt work..wife was rolling around laughing no help at all.
Ha! Was thinking the same when replying above! We really must support the local economy! Sing out next time you've got an hour or two to fill.Quote:

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
