[QUOTE="Ail, post: 364082, member: 14963"] Nothing really to update here, the weather has sucked the past few days so I have let the first coat of paint have an extended cure time. Where the paint has hardened completely it is very strong and I cannot dent it with my nail, some places I can still put my nail in to the paint slightly. I am going to attempt a roll and tip on the second coat to get rid of the paint blips that do not settle. I have a feeling I may not be able to as this paint seems to flash rather quickly as I am rolling it on. I could try Petrol, but additives are not reccommend by the paint can. The only thing I have done in two days is coat the trailer bunk boards and planks with spar urethane for the third time. I have been thinking more about decking, and what I would like to use to fabricate the frame. Aluminum is pretty cheap online and I really don't need too much, however I saw usplastic.com sells PVC angle and PVC square tube that is also relatively cheap. Has anyone ever used PVC tubing to build a frame and how durable or sturdy do you think it will be? I don't want to use wood because I would be compelled to seal all of it in epoxy resin, an expensive endeavor, and I don't want to use anything that will rot or corrode. It is pretty much aluminum or a plastic of some kind for my frame. PVC seems to be the only cheap option for plastics, I am just not sure it will be structurally sound enough to be standing or sitting on. Any thoughts? https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23658 [/QUOTE]
