No Phil I didn't but I would like one. George Dyson is not handling Gaco
product any longer so I have been trying to go the the factory. The Rep has
not replied yet. I am interested in finding a substitute.
For anyone in the New England area. I have been asked if I would apply the
Aliphatic Urethane for other builders since I have the material and the
breathing equipment. If anyone is interested give me a jingle and we can
work something out.
