Totally redeemed myself!!! Koi pond insulation is back in and ready for fibreglass again 🥵

[@paulthompson6975]

Great recovery. I’m even more determined to fibreglass my own pond now!

[@leehadfield6881]

Yes have a go it’s not a nice job but feels good to do it yourself

[@anthonystevens6733]

Looks good now everydays a school day great recovery 👏👏

[@leehadfield6881]

Every day 🙌🏼

[@keynshamkoipond25]

Well done Lee, looking so much better and ready for fiberglassing. 👏I did burst out laughing with the wookie sound effect 🤣

[@leehadfield6881]

🐻 🤗

[@edwardwood2679]

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

[@leehadfield6881]

Ok I’ll check them out now!

[@GazsKoiPond]

Looking good mate role on the fiberglass 👌👍😃

Great job Lee... Nice recovery mate... onwards and upwards 👍

[@jolleykoi5970]

Looking good lee, much better than before 👍🏻🤪 looking forward to your trip to gatwick koi

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks buddy I’m happy i re done it 😎

[@JoshuaBurch]

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 !

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks josh mate, I’m quite glad I re done it now! Looks better this one. Mate I love you sea could never live far from it!!!!

[@edwardwood2679]

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

[@leehadfield6881]

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

[@paulmarjoram2258]

Good vlog Lee. Hats off for admitting your FU. Did you do any time in comms when you were in uniform. Bream, your redeemed😂😂😂

[@leehadfield6881]

You got to own it!!!!!! I hated comms lol

[@law8182]

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 👏 👌 👍

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks mate I will tape the tops when I round them over

[@koipond6266]

Great video Lee. I wounded if it's the silver lining that stops it melting 🙄

[@leehadfield6881]

Could well be! Well Iv taped all the exposed foam now so should have no problems 🤟

[@TelfordKoiPond]

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. 👍🈲🐟😊

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks buddy I’m happy with this Mk2 version 🥰

[@just4koi143]

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

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

[@leehadfield6881]

Exactly the same as me mate, wouldn’t ship until I was up to temp

[@davidrevitt7470]
