you ain't hunted till youdonit on snowshoes!! LOL

Pilgrim, i pussed out big time . went through the instructions and got a bit overwhelmed. called up your man ,greg and asked him if i sent them back if he would do the lacing. he gave me a good price and i'm shipping them back for him to do. i'm a carpenter but the tedious things are not my bag. thanks again for hooking me up to a quality pair and the over-the-phone advice. i hope they turn out well.

Hey Bucks

Can't say I wasn't tempted to bring them back to Greg. I trust Greg will make it very quick & convenient (and low cost) for you- yours will also end up perfectly laced. If you'd like them white, spray them with Kilz before you send them.

Let me know when you're ready for the varnishing. I used Rustoleum's Marine Spar Varnish. One quart will cover a pair of shoes with plenty extra for touch ups down the road. I applied 4 coats and mixed about 2 Tablespoons of white oil-based paint into the varnish per application. They turned out white, anyway.

the price was very fair. i've already painted mine and will ship them tomarro

Sounds like it all worked out well!

send pics when you get some blood on them.

got them back today and they look awesome!!!!!!! hopefully we won't have snow for the next 10 years so they can still be in new shape.

Cool. Did you start varnishing yet?

I used a $13 quart of Rust-oleum Marine Spar Varnish. I think I applied four coats total (used less than 1/2 quart), then about 30 days of drying... As Greg says, "They're done drying when they're done stinking."

hav'nt yet but will start soon. i will use what you used. thanks again for the info
