    Loving these vids Zack- been doing a lot of this for years now- but nobody (not even the best park builders) will ever say “I’ve learned enough.” ALL of us are constantly learning new ideas! I also suck with bondo- but been using this product called “JB Weld Steel Reinforced epoxy” for the joints between our pool blocks and between our can coping. It’s SUPER expensive (don’t use their “clear weld”)…but comes in the two tiny toothpaste tubes. we broke most of the mortar joints in my fave can coping wall- those joints are tiny and this epoxy STILL works awesome. There is a wall that has been there for two years and my friend used this on those- guess which ones have NEVER needed repair?! Thanks again for the rad vids!
