Tom,
Canada's Standard of living is high and we have similar
market conditions. No third world Country here.

Also Ed Hollestelle Jr. may do refinishing, I am not 100% sure on that,
but I know he does fibreglass repair

done

Tom!

Are you suggesting hiring labour overseas just so that you can pay them
below the regular rate? I'm sure your local labour market would just
love
you to import some Eastern Europeans for 2 months to refinish your
capitalist, elitist toy at a quarter the price of a locally quoted job.

On that basis I'm sure there are several million people worldwide
prepared
to pack their bags and leave for Ellis Island tomorrow. Hell, I might
even
be one of them!

I can just see it now, factory workers all over the USA down tools and
riot
in the streets just because of a bit of Gelcoat!

The U.S. has a long history of bringing in foreign "guest" workers, a
good number of them undocumented (i.e. illegal). The documentation
headaches to do this is probably not worth the resultant savings.

Does anybody know what they charge for refinishing in Canada, or if
there is anyone doing it?

Tom
