Thanks for checking the weather Shags and definitely would be easier with a line-marker that’s for sure. Not sure about who owns the Youth Centre as a venue but will ask then I call them later today. If it is an ASTC property then I’ll get in touch with Lucy at Council to talk about the possibility of using their equipment; if this is possible then will have to make sure the line-marker is compatible with a two-pak paint. I’ve checked with Alice Equipment Hire and their paint trolley isn’t.

 

Cheers

Two bit.

Hi Gals,

 

I’ve heard rumours of rain this weekend, so have checked the website and this is the 7-day forecast......so perhaps prepare for a rainy weekend.

 

Also, I know you’ve done HEAPS of work researching this, but what is the town council’s role in the Youth Centre?  As they have a line marking machine – which I presume would pre-mix.  I personally know the guy that used to be the line marker at the council for years, while he’s not the line marker anymore, he still works at the council so perhaps if the Youth Centre ties in with the council we could ask them about using the machine?  The council is very good at supporting local sports.  Was there a lady on the mailing list that works at the council, could we ask her?  Sorry, just throwing a few questions out there.

Hi All,

Quick update, if we want to minimise cost then the least amount of painting we can do to have a skateable track are the inside and outside track lines and the "pace" lines that are spaced every so often around the track. I've done some basic calculations and I think we should be able to get away with just the 4L of paint for $165 which means it's cheaper than spending $395 on 10L but also means it's a solvent based paint which is a messier to deal with.

So far Breanna, Alex and Donna are available to help this Saturday 27th November so unless there are major issues getting paint (should be able to let everyone know tomorrow) and assuming the weather holds that will be our painting morning.

Things we need to do beforehand:
    - Purchase paint (I am happy to do tomorrow morning as Alice Paint Supplies opens at 8am - will get yellow since that is the general consensus. If anyone has any other ideas happy to discuss)
    - Get other equipment (paint mixer, extension cord, stuff to mark out track ie. rope, tape measure and tape, paint tray, rollers, solvent, rags, rinsing buckets, mixing buckes - it's a two-pak paint so we should only mix up as much as we need at a time)
        - I have an extension cord, rags and one bucket I can bring that can be used for rinsing. I'll probably get the solvent and rollers when I get the paint but if everyone else could email if they have any of the other stuff, particularly a paint mixer and stuff to mark out the track that would be great.
    - Let the Youth Centre know and make sure no-one needs the track on Saturday or Sunday morning, I'm happy to do that today.

On the day

    - Check the weather
    - Clean the track - not sure to what extent we should be doing this besides just scrubbing it and letting dry, if anyone has a pressure cleaner or any ideas let me know. I'll also ask the paint shop.
    - get painting!

As long as all goes well with the paint then this Saturday is the day - will send out another update later with a start time and more info.

Cheers
Two bit

Thanks for researching paints 2bit!

I am really up for a track painting working bee, and I think we should go with the cheaper paint. Not sure what colour - yellow or white? Needs to stand out...

The sooner we start skating on a proper track and building our track awareness the better.

The end of the year is fast approaching at it is HOT but I am happy to be involved on a weekend early in the day?
Could do weekend of 26/27 Nov or 3/4 Dec - otherwise probably not free again til Feb!

Cheers,
Axle

Hi All,

 

I rang Alice Springs Paint Supplies  this week and got some info about outdoor concrete paint. They recommended a two-pack paint (comes in two separate tins and is mixed before application) and these are available as water or solvent based paints. They stock Dulux brand and recommend:

-          Durebuild – solvent based – less durable – cheaper $165/4L, also available in 15L tin

-          Luxepoxy ECO2 – water based therefore slightly easier to use – more durable – more expensive $395/10L

I’m not sure why they said the water based paint was more expensive since it’s actually cheaper compared to the price for the 4L tin of the solvent based type so it doesn’t seem like there’s a great difference.  They did indicate that price does vary depending on the colour that’s chosen and that the darker colours can get chalkier quicker due to heat absorption over time.

 

Anyway, just thought I’d start the ball rolling on getting the track painted. Other things we’ll have to think about are cleaning the concrete prior to application, curing time required and making sure it doesn’t rain soon after.

 

Cheers

Lisa
