    Thanks for sharing and documenting the whole process, it was great to see you actually doing the job rather than cutting in after it’s finished. Looks amazing, top job

    Alright Lee, that was the best two hours of CZcams I've seen in a while. Thanks for documenting the process and again you have given me the confidence and knowledge to tackle my own pond, when the times right. Really such a good watch mate. The pond looks amazing too, we are really looking forward to seeing it filled and fish swimming around. Well done mate!

    Excellent video Lee, really enjoyed it and will be doing two longer videos on my CZcams channel in September.

    Cracking job there Lee. I did my QT / grow on a few years back and that was my first time fibreglassing. Really rewarding when a plan comes together 🎉

    Hi Lee. Brilliant video as always, very informative from start to finish. Have been watching your videos since your first pond (but only just found out how to subscribe lol). Great to see someone so hands on and the work you do is first class. Keep up the good work and the videos coming 👍 Neil

    Hi Lee, great job on the fibre glassing. Do you mind me asking where you bought the fibreglass products from please and what insulation you used? Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you've done a great job there Lee. Took me back to my very first job as a fibreglass laminator making garage doors. Fully aware of the fumes, sweat, resin and catalyst in the eye. Did that job for 6 long years, 1987 to 1993.........blimey last century 😄

    Next pond I’m going to give Fibreglass a go 🫡 👍

  • @maureenk-farmhousecharms903

    Unbelievably the best 2+ hours watching a video Lee! All the info, the visual how to’s and tips given during this on how to fiberglass your own pond is so valuable and greatly appreciated! Hmmm…so are you still going to do another growon tank on the other side as you had hinted at earlier in the video, or did you decide not to (as gave away the supplies to a fellow friend). I’m like oh yes!!!! 👍🏻 You gotta build another one!! One for quarantine, one for lil ones to grow on. 😂😂😊 A great video!!

  • @delmaista69
    @delmaista69 Před rokem +1

    Awesome Lee….great video to help other save thousands of pounds. As you say take your time, be prepared, have everything at hand. Don’t be blinded by the ‘smoke n mirrors bullshit of temp, rain etc’ prepare and a piece of piss. Another Koi Tax piece of industry resolved 😂🤣😂

  • @darrenvaughan5915
    @darrenvaughan5915 Před rokem

    the wax you add is to make the gel coat cure solid and not be tacky The wax rises to the top for an airtight barrier. When using a mould you don't add the wax as it's done in reverse to this method and the coats on top make the airtight seal too have a non-tacky finish

    @Danny-xb9qs Před rokem

    Ayeup matey , nice job on the grow on but if you ve got the time an energy def think the 3Rd ones a good idea , then there’s main one , grow on and quarantine ( should you need it 🤞🏻) as well as it’d be a good safe place if there’s ever a problem with the other two 🤷🏻‍♂️ jus thought I’d share my thought bud … plus ! You can always just blame me if your lass gives you any grief 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂👍🏻

  • @philipnguyen2529
    @philipnguyen2529 Před rokem

    I love how your 650 gallon pond turns out. I'm thinking doing a koi pond with fiberglass by myself, and from the look it's not that hard. Anyway, I have a question for you, how come in the European you guys love doing koi pond with fiberglass and in the United States people don't use fiberglass not much? Another question is what is your black top coat brand? Does it have to be some kind of liquid top coat or something else? Anyway, I would like to thank in advance for your reply.
