Yep....at B&Q and Trade Paints

It comes in two parts, and you have to mix it yourselves

Weigh it every step of the way! Make sure the max axle weight for each axle isn't exceeded (or won't be) once you are loaded up. Hartwood Elite (see ad in H&H) supplies lots of parts.

Good luck!

mmm not quite what i mean, as the white ply is coated so easy to wash down, but might end up going that way

i just had a thought, are you being serious? as this could work. I assumed you were joking but a polyester pain might just work

LOL!

Nope, I was joking

But you could be onto something...

Seriously though, be careful on the weight, as plywood is bl**dy heavy
