Fibreglass - Day 3

Into day 3 of the fibreglassing and the weather was looking considerably better compared to the previous few days. The glassed ponds were looking fine with no further water ingress or drips plus the whole area was looking less damp. So it was on with the top coat.

In no time at all Keiran's pond was completed and Matt from GRP Lining Services moved straight on to the header pond. In fact he almost ran the short distance from one to the other. The inside of the header pond was soon completed with the black top coat which was followed by a well earned cuppa and a quick breather before moving on to the main pond.

Header Pond

The last swig of tea was soon followed by a quick calculation check before the top coat for the main pond was mixed. No sooner was the top coat mixed the whole application process started again, but this time on a much larger scale. The walls were first to be coated before moving on to the floor area. Matt worked his way back towards the window opening before jumping out and finishing off the floor area where he'd just been stood with a roller on a pole. Job done!

Main Pond

Yet another major part of the new pond build process out of the way and although there's still quite a bit of work for us to complete, we definitely feel that with the pond now glassed, the majority of the work on this project is now behind us. What's more, although it's not full of water yet, we actually feel that we now have a pond again!
