I had a chat to them this afternoon, looks like it might be good stuff.

[jrs]

What sort of cost is involved ?

[KingBob]

The stuff itself wont cost us too much, but because the clay is packed, we'll need a wetting agent to help it penetrate, thats whats gonna cost us.

[dingosrun]

what wetting agent do we need

[Maxd out]

Guys this sounds like a great product but does the product contain Calcium chloride ?

Calcium chloride will eat your electronics

[KingBob]

As far as i know, any wetting agent will do.

I dont think it has any calcium cloride, apparently its some sort of extract made from the left overs of the paper making process.

[dingosrun]

well that means if everyone brings down a bottle of dish washing liquid we should be right as dish washing liquid is a wetting agent

[*TOP DOG*]

go to coles and grab 4 boxes of the home brand crap ha

[Nissanmania]

It sounds like it could be just what the doctor ordered. Be good to get a cost per sq metre for the stuff and the wetting agent.

[Matt]

how long does the wetting agent last?

days, weeks, months?

[KingBob]

Few hours is all it needs, as long as it gets the dustex to penetrate.

[Matt]

so this additive would need to be applied to the _entire_ track before every race meet because it will only last for a few hours?

[KingBob]

No, the additive will last months, if not years.

You asked how long the wetting agent will last.

[Nissanmania]

It's all reasonably well explained in the company website. Dustex has been used to stabilise gravel roads, mining site hard-pans etc so I think it should last pretty well with some RC cars driving on it. Sounds like it increases grip as well!

[*TOP DOG*]

soooo.. wats happenin?

[Emlyn]

are we still getting dustex?

[KingBob]

Yes

[Kai]

do we have a date???????(or time frame)??????

[obzELiTe]

we should ask a patio company for sponsorship and get a roof

[KingBob]

As soon as they have someone available to apply it.

[Emlyn]

that would be awesome racing for the hole year
