[Ferro List] FC Costs

[Mark Hopper]

I am exploring the possibility of coating the exterior of a standard

    steel shipping container with FC both for waterproofing and for

    protection of the steel against corrosion where it will be in
constant

    contact with salt water (Texas Gulf Coast).  It would be possible to

    apply the FC either on a vertical surface or horizontal depending on
the

    cost advantage of one against the other.  There would be
approximately

    750 square feet of coated surface per container.

    Can anyone tell me how much to budget per container if my intent is
to

    pay a market price to experienced FC technicians where the total
number

    of such containers could be more than 25?

    I have no hands on experience with FC, though I have read about it
for

    years.  I have no "do it yourself" urges with this project.

    Hopefully, there may be someone who will also chime in with a

    cheaper/easier way to achieve the same result
(waterproofing/corrosion

    protection).  These containers are structurally adequate as they are
for

    their intended use.
