Parker Gelcoat

[Luv2fish]

I am looking to buy some Parker colored gelcoat. I sent an email to Robin and she indicated my local dealer could supply. I live in Fredericksburg, Va and don't know of a local dealer. Does anyone know of a dealer near me or one that I could call to order?

Thanks

Steve

Let's see if someone local has some. I once bought a quart and sent it ALL OVER the US, either in its own can or in smaller bottles of 1-2 ounces. Now I need some ... and I have none left.

If worst to worst, we'll get someone to step & buy some and mail it to you ...

Any volunteers?

I have a quart but it is in Florida and will not return until the end of Oct if vacation is approved

I ordered some from James Hebert, another excellent Parker employee

You need to purchase MEKP SYRGIS red or clear locally

Have you tried Spectrum Color?

I bought some gelcoat and color dye at BP but didn't match well. I'm not in a time crunch but would prefer the same they use. Robin indicated exterior was different than interior. I need exterior.

I had mine for years. I will also shoot in some propane or put a small balloon in the can (to take up air space).

I see the woodcraft catalogs now stock a can of inert gas (argon, IIRC) to shoot in any NON-full can to replace the air in there, but have never tried this stuff. I also do this with any premium paint or finish (varnish or paints) I keep on hand.

I have a quart in a metal can. What type of container did you use for smaller (1-2 ounces) aliquots?
I have some glass test tubes with black phenolic caps

Tri-State in Deale, Md. is not that far from you. They have it.

Thanks for the info. I will give Tri-state a call today.

You can also try Garrett's Marina on the Rappahannock. They started selling Parker after Mid Atlantic closed.
