1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    Not sure of the interest out there except the high-end tastes of boaters so this is a little FYI to the high-end yacht designers.

    I manufacture and market the first color-changing glass and plastic sheet material that is used in the highest of high-end decorative surfacing and lighting applications for clients like MTV, Disney, Norwegian Star Cruise Lines, Starbucks Coffee, Sony Style, and some cool restaurant interiors.

    Called Dichrolam and Chromasheet, these products change color upon viewing angle and point of illumination in lighting FX, using dichroic films in the lamination core (must see pics on my website to understand).

    Common applications include table tops, entry door glass, light shades / diffusers and floor/wall tiles. Flexible versions make awesome sculpture, and is thermoformable.
    I am currently using it to make a red/green bow light for my boat, and can see it used in awesome cabins / yachts though not main target market. See www.johnblazy.micronpcweb.com

    Unfortunately, it requires high-tech laminating equipment, and is not rated for car window application. Great for interior tabletops, as well as flat windows, sliding doors, shower doors, skylights etc. See www.johnblazydesigns.com.

    It is really awsome. However, how can you make a legal bowlight out of it?
