Common Butch, dont run away, there are stil questions that need to be answered.

What you said on page 2 is
Quote:
Not including the cost of the gun, you could apply the material at about $3.65 per sqaure foot for Pond Shield-FSP and the proper geotextile fabric.
THat is a quote.

Now, "you could apply". That means you have it at the job site. That means either you brought it to me, or had it shipped in. Now, take away "the cost of the gun", and then add the proper geotextile fabric. Even without the fabric, you are already in the 4.17 range. So lets say 30 cents a foot, and we are up to $4.47. Now add disposable gloves, respirator, the cost of taping off the areas you dont want sprayed, and you begin to hit 5 bucks a foot. Now, if I happen to be doing a 1000 sf pond, the cost of the sprayer would be about 60 cents per foot. Now you are in somewhere between $5.50 and $6 a foot without labor. Of course they can rent a machine to do the pond, but that would set them back 1500-2000 or so. Now, for a true do it yourselfer, that is the true costs of putting in polyurea yourself. Your time is worth what you are willing to add to the cost. Or not. So by your own quote, minus the gun, you can apply our product for $3.65. AT the very best you are misleading, and at the worst, maybe dishonest, as I have shown where that is just not correct. And instead of admitting your misposting, you chose to be flippant and run?

So while I applaude your efforts at making it sound like you can spray your pond for 1/3 the cost of having someone do it for you, the true costs just dont make it so, now do they.

BTW, I cant help notice that the price of the goods actually being put on the pond, at your prices, are over $100 a gallon for the polyurea. Kinda interesting when you do the math, and get behind the glitz and glitter of misleading advertising.
