(Gary Gower) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:10:58 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Pietenpol-List: 2005 Matronics Email List Fund Raiser [Please Read]... --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Matt Dralle Dear Matronics Email Listers, Each year during the month of November, I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the Email Lists sponsored here. As you have probably noticed, there is no commercial advertising on any of the List-related web pages or in any of the email distributions. The Matronics Lists are supported completely though the generous Contributions of its members. Making a Contribution to support the continued operation and upgrade of the Matronics Aviation Lists is completely voluntary, but I encourage you to consider making a donation that is equal to the value and entertainment you have received from these Lists over the past year. And thanks to a number of extremely generous members/businessmen found on the Lists, there are some truly awesome Free Gifts to be had during this year's List Fund Raiser! Andy Gold of the The Builder's Bookstore, Paul Besing of Aeroware Enterprises, and Jon Croke of Homebuilt HELP have all contributed products from their respective catalogs in support of this year's Fund Raiser! Thank you! Andy, Paul, and Jon are great guys and I really appreciate their support for the Lists. I encourage each List member to visit their respective web sites for a closer look at each of their great product lines. Its guys like these that make this such a great hobby/sport to be a part of! I have included links to each of their web sites below. And just like PBS, I will be making pretty regular reminder requests throughout the month of November. I ask for your kind consideration and understanding during this time and realize that this Fund Raiser is the *only* source of financing and support I have for these Lists. I am continually upgrading and improving the hardware and systems required in support of the Lists. This year saw a substantial upgrade to all of the computer room infrastructure including gigabit networking, dedicated air conditioning, an equipment rack, and high-performance system chassis upgrades. Yes, it was expensive, but I feel the Lists are worth it! Hopefully you do too! All of these upgrades are what add up to the High-Performance, Highly-Available system that everyone has come to expect of the Email Lists at Matronics. Please make a Contribution today to support these upgrades and the continued operation of the Matronics Email Lists. The Contribution web site is fast, easy, and secure to use. You can even select a sweet Free Gift with a qualifying Contribution amount. The Contribution Site can be found here: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your generous support!!

You can buy PolyFiber Epoxy Varnish from them. I found the same thing you did. I first used Helmsman Polyurethane varnish, then tested it with PolyFiber Reducer and it lifted right off the wood. Their epoxy varnish is bulletproof! Maybe next time you fly your jet into the US you can buy some epoxy varnish and take it home in your flight bag.

Hello Javier and Friends. Sorry for "jumping" in... No, no flamables allowed in aircraft. What we do here is, get a few of us organized and send all the (non airline) parts to someone in Laredo or close, then drive all night (two or 3 drivers). Do the retrive/import during the day, then drive back all night. Yes, we are used to this... For, non dangerous little airplane "goodies" there is always a traveling friend handy, that will bring them in his hand bag.. Now, Javier, you are in our list for the next one, (we will do the driving from here) no problem for you. you are far from us., I will let you know with enough time when we plan it, to be. Probably not sooner than Feb, next year. now Customs if FULL with Xmas imports. Get too troublesome this time of the year to do the paperwork in one day... Hope it helps. Saludos Gary Gower Guadalajara, Mexico. Not a Piet Builder, but lots of time in the list. Do not archive.
