Resurrection of the Mini

hey hey, thats rad, im eventually goona finish mine soon, its alot smaller but still worth it for seesions and alot of laughs, urm just a question, what sort of wood did you use for the surface??? i just used normal ply and painted it, ???

GroundHangers 21:53 11/Aug/05

Paint is the best thing that u can do and plenty of it always try and use Wattyl Solarguard Masonary Matt Acrylic, its a little more expensive but, its as tough as hell and hangs on forever on a properly prepared surface.

Yeah animal chin standard ply is fine and just as Ground Hangers suggests - don't be shy with the paint!.

First time it's snowed since we moved here Benna but usually snows every now and again in Winter (so I'm told)...

Yeah Pete, I was sent up there a coupla years ago to teach some coaches. That park is pretty nice, except for the scooters.

Sounds good Benon. Oh.. And don't worry Pete, Shanghai winter was -1 to 11 not including wind chill every day for 5 months. Ouch!
