- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Welcome guys and gals. So in this episode I'm going to attempt to fibreglass the Koi Pond myself as the people that said they would help either wont answer me or are always busy so....
it Started off as a good morning and then the Catalyst hit the Resin and it was massively down hill from there.

I fiberglassed my pond 16,000 litres, looks like you had the wrong catalyst that's all, you gave it a try, good for you, with the right catalyst you would have been fine, i mixed 5 litres at a time and only ever got 25 minutes to use it, get some more and give it another try.
Yeh your spot on mate it was the wrong catalyst but live and learn I guess an expensive mistake 🤣
Really appreciate the advice about fiberglassing,something I am looking to do next year and this was invaluable information. On the bowl nets? I'm in southern Ireland and would be interested in getting one for my 60cm measuring bowl if that's an option? Either way, great idea and something we'll worth while. Hope to see you giving the fiberglass another go and getting right would be the icing on the cake👍
Well done for being so honest and posting your trails on line👏
Thanks bud yeh I shared everything about my journey good or bad 😅
I commend you for giving it go especially where no one was getting back to you or too busy. So glad you got someone coming this week though as I know the fiberglassing was holding you up in finishing the new pond. 👍
Good luck at the grow & show!!! Hope you sell out 💯% & lots of lucky buyers get your bonsai trees!! 🙏🏻😊👍
Thanks Maureen yeh was an expensive mistake but what can ya do 🤣 just waiting on the window now 😅
And thank you hopefully it's a good day as I defo need the money after paying out twice for the fiberglass 🤣
let me explain to you that you should not mix large quantities of resin up and leave them in a thick concentration. This actually encourages curing by trapping in chemical reaction heat. It is best to mix small quantities (quart or less) and put them spread thin on disposable paint pans. I know it seems opposite of other materials, but this is expert advice.
Thanks bud 👍
Winter catalyst in the summer? You can. Buy slow activity stuff. Gives you more time.
@sounduser even so it should still give more than 2 minutes surely
@@keepingitkoi I've had top coat smoking. But not in two minutes. It's definitely good advice to use only new stuff and do a test piece first.
'buy cheap, buy twice'
Yep 😅
I found mixing at one percent was suitable for me to get about 10 15 mins work as it was hot when I was glassin. The grp suppliers said its not recommended less than 1 percent but aslong as it goes of its fine. I found only mixing enough resin per fiberglass drop (sheet) so I could get all that excess resin and air bubbles out. also buying you brushes rollers and gloves from a supplier as the b an q ones just melt as I know the buckets are also better as you can reuse the as the resin peels out when gone off. It's a horrible job but worth when done yourself to save the pennies and take your time and get it better than the pros
Yeh unfortunately I was given the wrong catalyst it was a super fast acting one 😕 live and learn I guess but thankfully it's all sorted now 😊
I’ve never had the nerve/confidence to do fibreglassing myself and I guess this illustrates why it costs £££ to get it done by a professional. Sorry that you’ve had this experience but fingers crossed the professional will sort it for you🤞🤞🤞. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday😊👍
Thanks Phil yeh I certainly don't recommend fiberglassing unless your 100% confident 👍 and yeh you certainly will 😊
Any body thinking of having a go themselves, you can do fibreglass day course for £100 ish. Bit of confidence and Q+A goes a long way. Enjoying your build.
Thanks bud your comment means alot and I would love to do one any idea where I'd go to do one?
Fair play mate. I'm sure it will be spot on. You live and learn...
Yeh we certainly do bud 👍 see ya Saturday 😊 👋
Hi Jamie, fibreglassed my grow on pond in that stupid hot weather, i was covered over with a temporary pergola, you definitely had a dryer that was to fast, you needed a slow drying catalyst, i got twenty minutes at four kilos at one percent, and used a seven inch roller, all went well, just waiting for the window, i used Apex fibreglassing and got a ten metre square kit, was enough.
Yeh your spot on mate that's exactly what the issue was but thankfully it's all sorted now fingers crossed 🤞 and yeh I'm waiting for my window too now 😅
Not to add to your worries but have you used the correct resin? There are different ones for roofs and ones for ponds.
Thanks bud but yeh it was the right resin I checked that before I bought it 👍
Great update Jamie unlucky about the fibreglass as you say let the professionals do it see you on Saturday.
Yeh defo let them do it 🤣 and yes you certainly will 😊
You should rename the channel - Every weeks a new issue 😭😭
Tell me about it 😒
@@keepingitkoiBut…… you know what they say. Things can only get better 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@edenkoipond hope so 🙏
fair play play for trying though, i wouldn't know where to start lol
Thanks bud rhank God its sorted now 😊
Were the 2 products still in date, like everything they have a shelf life, or had they been opened, once exposed to oxygen they will start to react, i think you did well all considered
Yes they were but I found out it was the wrong Catalyst super fast acting expensive mistake but we live and learn 😒🤣
Gutted for you about the fibreglassing Jamie. At least you had a go, nothing ventured nothing gained, crazy how quick it was going off mate
Yeh it was the wrong catalyst unfortunately 😔 but never mind its sorted now 👍
Hi, could you let me know how I can obtain 2 of the bowl nets? Thanks, Roger.
Hi Roger yes either email mail me using the email address on my about page or better yet drop me a message on Facebook the link is in the video description 👍
Sorry to hear your troubles.. As mentioned before without knowing what materials you used something is very wrong.. At them mixes normal resins would give you easy 10 - 15 mins.. Hopefully you can get it done
Thanks bud yeh it wasn't the resin it was the catalyst 😕 but it's all sorted now 👍
Owch j,,, q,did u get sorted tho as very annoying when waiting for tradesmen good luck, cheers Terry,
Yeh was an expensive mistake but yeh it's all sorted now thankfully 👍
Chin up mate...I know it was a disaster but still very good content...really enjoyed that bud!
Thanks bud really appreciate that 😊👍🙏
It shouldn’t go off that quick , must be wrong or out of date catalyst
Or winter catalyst 😬
Yes mate it was the wrong catalyst 😒 expensive mistake we live and learn I guess
Oh! what a bummer mate. I've never tried it, so I've no idea. Just watch the pro when he comes, that should give you a better idea. Take care mate, Terry.
Thanks Terry yeh was an expensive mistake but we live and learn I guess but yeh all sorted now 👍
Thats a real shame Jamie, as I’m sure you are more than up to the job.
You may have hit the nail on the head tho, about getting all your materials from the one supplier. That’s what I did, I got a kit for 20 sq. metres, for my little pond, which came with everything, but I’m sure it was about £300. You need to be careful fibreglassing resin and catalyst, as they do have a limited shelf life. I remember having less time to work with it than I’d seen other people get on RUclips, so I generally only ever mixed 1 or 2 litres at a time. I only ever got about 15 minutes. I could probably have used less hardener. I’m sure you will get it sorted soon mate….🤞🏼
Yeh we live and learn but hey least it's sorted now just had to pay twice instead 😕
@@keepingitkoi yeah, that’s great its now sorted, and CONGRATS ! On the 2K subscribers mate….👍🏼 🍾
@AndysKoiPuddle thanks Andy as always very much appreciated 😊
Lol super hardener .. I would love to build a fiberglass tank / pond downstairs.... after watching.. hmmmm maybe not. Lol
Haha yeh it was exactly that a super hardener I had the wrong catalyst and it was super fast acting expensive mistake though 😅
Geez....pretty sure it shouldn't set that quick, without having thermal runaway. I'm no fiberglassing expert, but i have done a fair bit of resin casting.....and id lean towards the mixing of brands/ types of resin & hardner....Gutted for you dude
Yeh I was given the wrong catalyst 😕 we live and learn I guess 😕 an expensive mistake tho 😕
@@keepingitkoi really am gutted for you dude, because I'm sure you'd have done a cracking job of it.
I did my 2200 i used epoxy as far easier and thats ll i can buy in france worked a treat
Thanks bud yeh was an expensive mistake but we live and learn I guess 😅
Fiberglassing is not fun Jamie 😕 😒. Well done for giving it a go 👏 👍
Thanks Cesca yeh live and learn just an expensive mistake 🤣
Good on ya for trying it mate 👍maybe it was the wrong catalyst? But hopefully its all sorted now🤞 Stay safe Andy 👍
Your absolutely spot on Andy wrong catalyst 😕 we live and learn and yeh all sorted now 👍
I feel your pain Jamie, prepare for the backlash mate!! 😎👍🏻
Thanks mate yeah nightmare an expensive mistake but luckily all sorted now 👍
