Rui Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 In preparation for building I've been trying to find local sources for glass, foam, and epoxy. The foam shouldn't be too big of a problem but getting glass as it is described in Wicks (ie. BID 8.8 oz and UNI 7.0 oz) is a problem around here. I have been using the Wicks numbers in the absence of any other information, but is there a range of weights that are acceptable? Also more generally, are there any guidelines for the foam (ie. I notice that Wicks says that their polystyrene has a flame retardant addative, should I ensure that the supply I get also has this?) and epoxy that I should be looking out for? Is this type of infomration in the plans (ie. not just the approved/non-approved suppliers)? Quote Rui Lopes Cozy MkIV S/N: 1121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 No, this type of info isnt in the plans. But it is in the archives. Use Rick Maddy's search engine: http://www.maddyhome.com/cozysrch/search You'll find lots of discussion about foam and glass alternative suppiers for non-us builders. Also, you'll find a number of canadian builders who've been through the same issues. I think many just drive down with a truck and pick it up from Wicks.
