mikegerber Posted October 1, 2015 Author #189 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Patrick Thank you! - but that's still a long way up to the wet ... ... otherwise, you hit a sore spot! - the final density test is not yet done! I was too impatient and wanted to get start the deck - you see, so much for my famous patience! I am however very hopeful that with the use of the Primocon primer (Log #127) everything turns to the good.
