Forgot to add, what a brill idea using the hatch as a trial, and thank you every one for your ideas, I will have a go and let you know which one worked out :-)

So sorry, I am dyslectic so some times the spell check puts in words and I miss it, it should have said the painter put sand on the boat for a non slip surface, really sorry for any confusion :-)

Hi Chris, that is the problem the painter will not respond to me to find out what paint he used, I do have a small pot of paint he left on the boat so I am now trying to find out what it was, unfortunately the paint has dripped over some of the witting on the tin so finding it hard to work out. I also think he mentioned that he added thinners to it, but as I understand paint from what others have told me, but I am not an expert in this, I need to find out if he used thinners or white sprit, and my only memory is he mentioned thinners. The boat is fab, all that worked on her I can only praise apart from the painter. Tim has come up with a fantastic design and john and Tim are such lovely people.

The last time dean painted it was last November, it is a long story re the paint job and his work, but I have no problem with Johnathan at all, it is not his fault Dean did a bad job. Unfortunalty payed dean £1600 as part payment, he said he would come back in the spring and put it right but he does not respond to me, I have been trying to contact him since the spring time, so looke like I have lost the money and now have to pay out more to get it sorted out, well leson learnt!

Thank you, what is scabbler? Willing to do what ever it takes to put it right, starting again if we have to Thank you for the advise, had not thought of sugar soap

Looking for some advise. I have a new boat built and designed by Tyler Wilson boats. The new design lives up to its advertising in the tow path, back page is the pictures of our boat and the first one built and designed by Tim Tyler. We love her and everything about her, but Johnathan Wilson recommended a painter called Dean Roberts, he has been the only one recommended by Johnathan that I wish I had never met. Consequently, due to the appalling paint job we have decided to put it right ourselves after no response from Dean and Johnathan in how this will get put right. Problem is that we have been getting advise form various people who paint boats and the painter out sand on the boat for a non slip surface. I have been told that no paint will stick to this and will lift of if we try to paint on it. Anyone know how we can sort this out?

Then it would be worth less and we poss could take it over, yet another solution yey potential number 2 solution Now there a plan, but I don't think I will make the famous money for it, pants Why when ever there is a plus there is a minus! :-)

We have a solution lol

I do not know how many, like I said rummer at the moment!

If we all leave, then the company will deffinalty not be able to survive? It is one option. Again, the impact this will have in the waterways of, I think about 300 boats coming out together would certainly hit the head lines "300 boats block up British cannals" :-)

Now I only know a little bit , and his was from the meeting, it seems that there has been some payments, if I remember rightly, we were told £45000 and he ows £16000, I think that was the figue anyway.

Sorry to hear you had the experience as well, i do empathise with you. What sort of society can not see the effect the MONEY people have on the individual's who have to suffer, it is pants! I have not got a clue, just the latest update here!

Thnak for the advice, i guess we will just have to watch this space and see gow it pans out. All I can say is what a mess, rummer has it, already the moorers are looking into getting licence fees back, who knows what will happen now

True, had not thought of that :-)

I was not thinking of it that way, I was more thinking that CRT would loose the same amount of money again if they block of the marina, if PLM do not pay them as well, how does this make business sense?
