Duratex application

#1 Post by Keryn O'Shea »

Good morning gents,
The new labels on Duratex tell us we can use a hopper

Can anyone describe the difference between a hopper and normal spray gun? It would be awesome to be able to hop(?) the roller grade Duratex onto the exterior of CD horns.
Also how confident for waterproofing can we be, to leave Duratex finished cabs out on the rain?

I've always used a hopper, going back 20 years.

Last time I had kangaroo it was jerky and tasted like a hamster cage smells. The right amount of BBQ sauce would probably fix that right up. I'll bring the potato salad!

You're right there Seth, I'm not a fan.
So this question I'm about to ask, will cement my reputation as a douche..
How do you pronounce "Fitzmaurice" Bill?
Pretty sure I've been saying it wrong this whole time :conf:

Fitzmorris. But since I'm Norman it's spelled Fitzmaurice, which would have been Maurice Fils back in Normandy.

Huh, and I have always been pronouncing it "Fitz more eese". More of a French way of saying it, is my way of thinking.

Wait a minute.....I've always pronounced Bill like "Beeeeeeeeel". Is that wrong, too? My world is upside down.
