So I have worked with plenty of Smooth-On, but want to use one of Chemtura's Vibrathanes. The mixing and curing process that they describe is extremely intense. Do any of the people that have experience with their products (chris, montucky...?) know what parts of their procedure is critical and what...

what is this gallium/electra you speak of?
So I frequently see ski companies list there base material as sintered, but it has to be 4000 Gallium or 4000 Electra or even (if you're lucky) Electra Gallium 4000! So the 4000 seems pretty obvious (4000 series - from Durasurf if sintered, from Iso if extruded/unspecified). Now what does the electr...

Thanks for all the info. We picked up the machine and are going to tear it down, sand, repaint, etc in the next few weeks. Maybe I will swap out those bearings preemptively while we have everything apart. How does your water pump power up? Does it start with the main motor, or is it a separate switch?
