I tried once one brand with weight ratio, never again. WS pumps are so easy, fast and tidy to use.. That said I always have something to smear the...
What it's used for? Like what loads are expected? Any structures on deck? As Tansl said, more data needed..
Stability says you need pontoons on the outer edges. Structural stresses says they need to be evenly distributed under the load.. how's the sea...
Film faced plywood. Fenol film on the surface. At least epoxy doesn't stick to it..[IMG]
