[Rhodes22-list] What's under the deck?

[Hank]

Jerry,

It has the consistency and weight of sand, but I didn't see any stones or
lead.

As far as the epoxy, I'm looking for a good source to buy the epoxy in
larger quantities.  All Home Depot has is small (few ounces) size.  Where
can I get in Qt or Gallon quantities at a reasonable cost.  Measuring cups I
can figure out from stuff I have laying around the house.
