Showing how you prepared everything and the fiberglass lay up to cover seams during the second lay up was just what I was looking for. Looks more professional than the guys that get paid big bucks!

Glad to see you wore a mask, where I use to work had a fibreglass dept, if went in there for 5min you could taste it for rest of day and the smell just clings to you, hope all goes well with the fill, but just before you fill carefully run your hand slowly over the entire area, it won't take much to injure your koi and it's a lot harder to find once water is in it.

@@PaulsKoipond Hey Paul, Thank you for responding to me! That all makes sense. I'm currently pretty far along in building my block pond. Bottom drains are in and all that's left before fiber glassing is pouring the cement floor. But I'm running into a problem I'm hoping you might have some advice on. WARNING: this is going to be an overly long explanation. I’m a big fan the way ponds in the UK are built. I think lining a block pond with fiberglass makes all the sense in the world. This is how I want to construct my pond. Only one problem, I live in the US. I’ve yet to find any suppliers here who carry what I need to build my dream pond. But I’m very determined. I’m not willing to settle for a rubber liner pond. If I can’t build my pond the way I want it to be built, than what is the point? Naturally, I started looking into companies in the UK who sell fiberglass pond kits. They look amazing!! And I found several companies who sell them! I want to buy one so I can do my pond justice and build it the way I like. Here is the problem: none of them I’ve corresponded with are willing to ship to the US. I let them know that I understand if there is additional shipping charges/convenience fee for all the trouble. But they have been pretty adamant that they just don’t ship outside the UK/Ireland. Naturally, I’m turning to strangers on the internet for help! Lol Do you know of any fiberglass pond kit suppliers who would be willing to work with me? Do you have any solutions you can think of that I can’t? I greatly appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I worked in a workshop for 7 years using resin like this, you do get used to the smell. It gets into your clothes, never wash these clothes in a family washing machine.

@@PaulsKoipond being in that enclosed space, didn’t help. If you had a heater going, then the smell and fumes would have been worse. The heat will make the resin cure quicker. But you can get an accelerator to mix into the resin first before adding the catalyst. But it must be mixed it really well before adding the Catalyst. Accelerator and the catalyst should be kept in different areas as they can be combustible together.

@@PaulsKoipond ........ I started in 1993 with a bunch of guys, re-lining factory roof gutters, then I went into a workshop environment in 1994 to learn how to make gutters/down pipes and rainwater hopper heads. That’s a totally different form of laminating as ‘air bubbles’ are the worst enemy. Air bubbles with your video laminating don’t matter really. Air bubbles with using a gel coat base in a mould, does matter. Yes you get used to the smell and it never effected my eyes, I never wore goggles or a mask (stupid me!!!) Make sure you either wear goggles when squeezing the catalyst bottle or use at arms length, those bottles can split and as you know, that catalyst in your eyes is a ‘goodby to your eye site’.
