Throught you guy's might be interested in this.
I got word today that Akzo Nobel's has decided to discontue Awlgrip 545 primer.
There is no word what the replacement will be.

For those that don't know, US Paint's was bought out by Akzo Nobel's a while ago.

I just went and bought a case of each part.....at my rate I will need / use it within a year.......thats bad news, but International (Akzo) markets and sells their own line of primers and fairing compounds that are much, much more extensive that the Awlgrip brand primers....just harder to find on-the-shelf for doityourselfers right now....

Tom,
How's the Bertram coming along? Haven't seen any updates here in quite some time.

I'll work on it, just got back online after Fred's Wife Left.....

Bertram was completely done, but now have a bit more work to do after the neighbor's roof panel sailed horizontally into the flybridge...

Was at Harbor Towne Marina today, there is a stack of Rupp outriggers lying in a pile near the HMY docks with over 60 broken 'riggers. I think they are going to put a cooler there, bring a case, and pick out your parts....
