there is an acoustic sealant
Isn't that what you play pool with? Acoustic? ;-)
Yes pool is played with acoustic. How about a paint on white roof sealant?? Or apply a bonding sheet and paint over with a waterproof sealant, this would form a solid dome cover, this was dome to Mees Observatory and should last 50 years. Rack'em up Rob
That's essentially what Barrett suggested - I just didn't understand it at first.

I still think that calling Ron Case or one of those companies is the right thing to do--they'd have the experience, and they can at least give a free estimate as to what the job entails. Or put it out to bid to a few companies, but that'd probably take a bit more time and energy than we'd like. Don't forget to play the non-profit card…that can result in some discounts in exchange for signage at least... Dan On Mar 6, 2012, at 12:55 PM, Rob Ratkowski Photography wrote:
