Cool, beige azek for boatz. Permateek is $11 s/f for dealers.
There is no pricing online for teakforboats.com, even though they
specify elsewhere that the pricing on that site is for product only.
Bozons abound here, too, wot?

As the saying goes, if you have to ask...you can't afford it.

In Denmark the price for 70mm (2.75 inch) wide and 10 meter length is
850 kr. ca. $155
Maybe this gives you a small hint on the price.

Is that $155 US or ?

If so..that is far too expensive for my projects..though its
comparable or slightly cheaper than teak itself. Then there is the
cost of the adhesive....

Thanks!!

That is indeed US$
On easy way to convert a price given in danish kroner to US$ is to type
it in google. Just type this:
850 dkk in $
and press enter

If you find the abbreviation for the currency this method is quite
useful :-)

Not cheap but you do not have to scrape and varnish it every 2. year or so.

True indeed, which is why I was pondering using it.

Now about the cost of the adhesive has to be added. And given that one
has to coat the entire area that the material will be attached
to.....sigh

Too rich for me Id suspect.

But thanks!!

about prices.

Right. Either "call for quote" or "affordable" on the site usually
indicates a price that's 3 to 25 times what it should cost.
