Gullible me.

Here I thought they would all use a standard urethane core.

You and me both. But after doing a lot of emergency repairs (kick-
ins) and replacements, I found that the insides range anywhere from
loose laid panels of styrofoam (sometimes glued to one side), random
squirts of urethane on the perimeter, all the way to solid urethane
cores.

I have even seen them where there is nothing in them except materials
glued in place to stiffen them up in the center and at the door lock
hole. (Hint: When you see an $89 metal entry door, think of this..)

Time for the marine finishes.

The material I am using is rated for marine use. It is a modified
urethane product, and you are right. It is perfect. It dries hard,
hard, hard. It is extremely abrasion resistant, and it looks like it
was baked on in a factory.

High build epoxy primer followed by some good L/P which can be applied
with a mohair roller and tipped with a good brush.

OK... now you overshot me. I don't know how to apply that stuff, and
I don't know anyone that would pay for it! My favorite is about $55 a
gallon (Coronado "Corotile" from their industrial line) and is rated
for "medium" industrial use for manufacturing and processing plant
application.

I can't imagine what your stuff would cost or how much it would cost
to apply it.

Just trying to make a living here, Lew.
