Kudzu Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 To my surprise the old 8 oz polyester is available once again. I should have it back in the store next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JReed Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Great news. Price going to be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I don't remember what it was, was it $3.25 a foot? Regardless it is going up in price, $4.50 a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JReed Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 $4.50 is still a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webby Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Jeff I'm finding it difficult to source a suitable skinning polyester here in Australia. Are you able to ship out to Sydney? And thanks for the great videos on your website, Webby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yes, no problem. I have several boats that have been built there. I think there are two Long Shots in Sidney. Shipping is sort of pricey but I tell all my overseas clients to order everything you need at once! For small items the shipping is often more than the cost of the item.

labrat Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Webby, Good to see another "local" builder - which design are you doing? I bought skin, sinew, footrests and the first book all in one hit. I would get all these again (although with plans instead of the book) if doing another build and also add a roll of the stitching twine and a couple of hemostats to the order. I had trouble finding a thread of the right weight. As Jeff says, the postage is a high proportion (around 50% for my order) but I don't think you will find a skin material locally so will need to bring that in anyway. Jeff, your boats are being built right across Australia, do you have any idea how many there would be altogether here now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 No, I never kept track of what I shipped out. Plus with the book there could be a lot built from it I have no idea of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingBear Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Great Great News!!! I'll be keeping an eye on the store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 It's in the shop. I just need to get it listed. So much to do and not enough time. $4.50 a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcone1381 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm ready to shop for the old 8 oz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well, that is not the typical FROG photo! I have a job in the morning. I will try to get the new fabric listed in the store tomorrow afternoon. It's sitting there in the shop. Just so busy getting ready for the class.

P Doug (WA) Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Looks good, maybe you have started a new FROG picture pose. Have to take that up with the committee of Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcone1381 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Jeff; I just tried to order the original 8 oz fabric from your web site. The website did not allow me to change the quantity from 1 to a number greater than 1. All of the other fabrics that you are offering allow me to change the quantity except this new offering. I tried to order it on both Safari, and Fire Fox browsers. I am building a Cast a Way, so I thought about 17 or 18 feet was about right.

Kudzu Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 THANKS, I know exactly what is wrong. I will get that fixed this morning. I recommend ordering 1 foot longer than that boat. Cast Away and Mess Abouts are exceptions. Because they are so wide 1 foot is cutting it close so you probably need 2' extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
