Re: (ET) PVC Battery box liner

["Pestka, Dennis J" <Dennis Pestka TycoHealthcare com>]

One of the fellows on the EV discussion group gets a 2 part epoxy from
Home Depot for his truck battery boxes.
It's used to coat sinks and bathtubs.
He claims that it hold up extremely well.

Yes, that's the stuff I'm talking about.  Not the rubbery material, the
hard epoxy.  I've used it to coat battery boxes in road EVs.  

I had it sprayed on by a detailing shop and it worked nicely, so I
wanted to have it applied to the underside of my mower deck a few years
back.  But I couldn't find anyone to do it.  Most of the shops just said
it was too small a job, not worth their while, and let it go at that.
However, one manager told me that setup and cleanup were a substantial
part of the time involved. 
 They'd also have to open a full 5 gallon (I think it was) can of the
material; the unusued portion would then go to waste (I wondered if they
really had to mix the entire can at once, but didn't say anything).  I
tried to convince them to let me "piggyback" onto a truck job, but they
wouldn't go for it.

     nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!
