Thank you, Ken, for sharing your thoughts on plastic lumber for HP. Niche
marketing for historic preservation is relatively expensive for any product
line, and the hurdles to being successful at it are well summarized in your
response.

I have to admit a certain sense of technical challenge, though-- why
couldn't we make it look more like "real" wood...I've seen some great
adhesives for plastic substrates, and many plastic automobile parts are now
routinely coated with all sorts of specialty coatings...
