Ordering Nyloboard

Good morning, Steve,
I was just on the phone with the company. Here are some things to know about ordering from them:
  • Very nice folks to talk to about the product details. For example, my concern about VOCs -- they say there is no gassing off.
  • They do not have local distribution. I had to order directly from the company.
  • They don't take plastic (kind of ironic). You have to fill out an application for credit, to set up an account with them, and fax that in before the sale is arranged. I'm not going to submit all of that info on trade and bank references, since I am an individual and paying by check. They will take COD. Since I will be traveling, I would rather pay by mail and, I hope, speed delivery while I am gone.
  • Basic cost for the fiberglass is $124.16 for a 4' x 8' piece. Non-fiberglass is $114.56. Freight extra. I'm waiting for that email, will update with the total.
  • You can order two grades of Nyloboard. Prime is both sides finished exactly alike; choice has one side rough. I chose choice. There is no difference in the performance of the choice, just appearance. The only thing looking at the rough side is the black tank, insulation, etc.
Just thinking ahead, as Frank said, talking all about baiting the hook and not fishing... definitely will need Forstner bits.

Oh -- by the way, check out the mold study on the home page. That's a pretty impressive image. Looks like HDF didn't do too badly in comparison, but the rest -- YUK!

More soon,
Anne

If so, did you purchase directly from the mfg or were you able to find a local seller? Did you order the fiberglass skined material or the plain? How many sheets of what did you order... and one last question, what did it cost you to have it shipped to Indy?

Sorry for all the questions... I'm just a curious
