Bobbie , my adorable bride runs a rather large roofing company . As such , she is the person who decides when a new product might be added the inventory .
She was more than a little excited by a sample she brought home .
Made by Perma Bond , its fiberglass reinforced polyester sheet . Until it is exposed to UV light it is very flexible .
Works on wood ,metal , fiberglass and more it is claimed .
Have any of you heard of this ?
I almost want the break something just so I can try it

How come the photo shows up in preview but not once I post it?
Charles I took this with an IPhone XR
I took the photo . Then I sent it to myself via email . There I had choice of file size . Then the image was small enough for me to share here

You have to insert it in the post once it uploads. With that arrow icon thingy that pops up. It'll upload the link wherever  your cursor is too D; Interesting product there!

Timm, Your query: "How come the photo shows up in preview but not once I post it?"

Was covered a few months ago.

There's three requirements (beyond the upload itself) for embedding a pic.
1) You must click the cursor on the text page that you are typing on, so the embedded pic has somewhere to land.
2) You must click on the blue up-arrow, so the program knows to embed the pic.
3) You must click on the "INSERT" button for embedding to be complete.

Do all three (in that order) and you get this:
You cannot view this attachment.

I suspect that you may have missed either the blue arrow, or the INSERT button.
Without this sequence, what happens is that they show up as saved files at the bottom of your post.

Hope this helps,
Charles Brennan

Timm, take a clear / flat picture of the whole QR code (the black and white checkerboard thingie)
or post a web link to the product info.

They have UV-cure resins and additives for surfboards. Spend as much time as you want in a darkish room fiddling with the cloth and resin on the board and then bring it outside or put under some tanning lights to initiate the cure.

Similar tech going on at the nail salon, small UV lamp to cure the finishes.

Pure UV cure has a disadvantage that the spots not in the light don't cure, normally they will have a secondary cure mechanism to help with this, either driven by the heat of the first reaction or time or moisture in the air.

Help me out here . Just what is supposed to happen when I zoom in on the 3d barcode ? How does that help get
the image or the picture of the package on this website .
Soom of us will always be technological holdouts !

My phone has an app for reading the codes and then offers to chase down the link in the code without typing. In this case they could have just put the URL in plain text as it is not a long or difficult one.

Question - I suppose it could be used for fiberglass repairs on the boat, however will it last in a marine environment? Also does it add any structural integrity to the hole or patch? Lastly, can it be painted over?

Brian , from what we read on the package and from what Bobbie was told , It will last in a marine enviroment .
It was designed from the start to be structural . From reading the package ,yes it can be painted over .
Bobbie brought home a 3"x6" sample "trial " size package .
 She asked if I wanted the 3' x 6' piece .. Uhm sure .. who wouldn't want something new and cool to play with .
From my understanding this was designed to work holding various materials together that are subjected to severe and harsh climates .
What's strange is the fact , that I can't find this listed on PermaBonds website . It's hard to believe it is so new that the  Web site isn't even up to date
