Just watched this clip Lee and went straight to Screwfix and bought 5 cans of Instastik. I was wrecking my head as to what to use to stick the foil boards, Cheers
Glad to hear it's all coming back together. As I say again this quarantine build is a great guide for someone building a new pond, top detail, quality banter and a laugh. If ever I build a forever pond I know who I'm hiring :D very jealous that you can pop down to the beach, I'm about 40 minutes from the nearest beach. Insulation is looking really smart, looking forward to seeing the next video of the fibreglassing !
Also I forgot to mention East coast fibreglass supplies they are extremely informative and knowledgeable they will be able to advise wether you can use the roofing one you intend to use before you go ahead might prevent another setback
Lee great job your issue is the castle resin i have just used some and it is the worst gear for koi ponds when you leave it in the bucket look out for the smoke
I know your not gonna see the silver boards once fibreglass but it looks wicked all silver 🤣like you said mate you got back up and round 2 this one looks like it’s your round 👊🏻 K.O
Champion job👍😊. Consider yourself redeemed 😊👍. It’s going to end up much better than the original would have done so worth the heartache . Looking forward to seeing it glassed. 👍🈲🐟😊
Hi Lee hope you don't mind my saying as I haven't done fibreglassing for years but I know that roofing resin and the hardener is toxic to the fish and so is the top coat. Even though goes off hard it can leach out and affect fish with sores redskin and ulcers, when you fill pond up you get an oily scum on water surface which should set alarm bells ringing. Did you get issues with fish in your other pond? Some years ago when I had my pond fibreglassed they used Scott bader products because it's food industry standard. Maybe the reason your foam melted is because you used an aggressive trade roofing system with incompatible chemicals. Take notice of what other subscriber says regarding skimmer . You can't really fibreglass onto plastic because it doesn't bond maybe use etching undercoat first. Always fibreglass under the skimmer then push skimmer into position with goldseal around it .. plenty of... you can always adjust the foam to suit the skimmer. A good tip, coat the foam with coating of resin and ensure set hard before fibreglassing because resin doesn't adhere to the silver foil. Kind regards Ed I'm really enjoying watching you and your project and admire you posting your mistakes for others to learn from, quite rare on youtube
Great insight that Ed thanks mate, I am using the exact stuff I used on my other pond and they are fine. I did have a bacterial problem but that was from my first pond that was not filtered properly! But I’ll definitely do what you say about the skimmer and take on board what you say mate for sure thanks for letting me know buddy
You need a little bit more tape across the top of the kingspan! The foam will still react its just the foil protecting it. Awesome job though mate 👏 👌 👍
Well done fella! I got a lovely ISA Showa from Gary at GK this summer - very professional, only shipped when I was up to 17 degrees - eating like a pig - very happy
That looks better mate, well done for showing your mistake I would like to do mine at some point if I decide to upgrade my pond. Where is the Wales koi club?
Every cloud has a silver lining! Great job buddy, it’s going to be amazing! Can’t wait to see it done. Total legend! Ps how many times did you cut yourself on that tape, I cut my hands to ribbons 😂
Looking good mate role on the fiberglass 👌👍😃
Looks good now everydays a school day great recovery 👏👏

Great recovery. I’m even more determined to fibreglass my own pond now!
Yes have a go it’s not a nice job but feels good to do it yourself

Fresh Sub here, really enjoying the vids dude. Did you go 1" or 2" thickness insulation board? I have an almost similar sized project starting soon!
