If Bilgekote will work i may just do that, 1/4 the money, is the bilge kote stuff work ok, i know it wont be as good as the two part but will it hold up for 5 years. I can get bilgekote local and awlgrip is order only and is 300 bucks!

cold temps can cause blushing you should try and find a way to keep some heat in it. I find those little cheapy ceramic heaters work pretty god for this kinda stuff. If you can block it off somehow with either plastic sheeting or cardboard you'de be surprised how warm you can get it with one of those things. Bilgekote should work fine, i have never used it but heard its good stuff.
