Yep many times we had to go back to do the coating. Had some expensive gear in tight felt lined cases then had to run the temp, humidity and pressure maybe? through an algebraic equation (with a calculator) if it doesn't cure right it's a waste of that $300.00 a quart (more now I'm sure) Sikkens and a nightmare for the customer. Subcontracted with a good outfit down there for a while until I "retired". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had friends stop by every few days to check it out. Had an awesome time but still didn't get all the work done in the Philippines that we wanted. Next trip we will have to get back to the place we are looking to retire to. Probably rent for a year while we settle in as more native so they won't scalp us on property prices. You know, we're the rich Americans... 🙄 Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Like I've said before I couldn't take pics of the ladies, but I have never seen so many 75 pound marvels of the human anatomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 You can live comfortably on $12k a year there... but that also depends on the lifestyle you want. We pretty much have no retirement, so will have to make do. It also depends on where you live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
