ISOPON P40 polyester glass fibre filler is a two component chemical paste used for the bridging of holes and rust in surfaces such as steel and GRP. ISOPON P40 forms a very hard durable surface and can be sanded and shaped if requi...

thats a great link David..thanks...
Still want Bob's though as i will be mixing smaller quantities..

Hello tancho, thanks for the advice, i think i would rather go the glassing route mate..


Ok Bob...

Funds are a bit dry at the minute Jane with the holiday coming up.. Hello Bob. Until i lifted it out i thought the pipe was still connected, it was only when i lifted the pond out i noticed that the pipework ( it is 3" ) was still on the ground. the reason for the pipe snapping wasn't the weigh...

Managed to get the pond out today and its not good news ( really p***ed off ) The pipework has snapped off completely, not sure what i can do now.. :evil: [img]http://img4011.photobox.co.uk/67160139b5ea8a22eefccb085aeb591553304281737f75ab22e717530d82ea20c76bfef1.jpg[/img] [img]http://img4011.photobo...

I'm so close Gazza....

I think a repair would be better Bob..
I could gold label the joints and then fibreglass over just to make sure

Can't put another drain in John as it was built into the base mate

Bob.. Thanks mate... :wink: I will get it out of the ground over the next few days ( gotta move the shed again as its in the way ) then i will get some more pics of it from inside and out and we can take it from there I'm sure its all plastic welded as it had a small plastic collar around the outer ...

John here is a wider picture..the pond can be reomoved so the drain could be sealed from both sides [img]http://img4011.photobox.co.uk/919938146f52cf30b6e63a1a8217c5bc3dffeb13972a5b1654d0b84e2919365a1046f4c0.jpg[/img] [img]http://img4011.photobox.co.uk/2964576548e9dd55cc49bcf6dd3169626280a4df6932731...

Jane. The drain is from [url]http://www.coastal-koi.com/[/url] I have just spoke to them and they have said that the drains are made out of the same plastic as the pressure pipework, he has said that it will be ok to glass onto as they use the same drains in a pond they have just built in their shop...

I'm willing to give it a go Dan, i try and turn my hands to most things, trouble is now i have to wait for decent weather, when i was hoping to have it running in the next few weeks..
Plus if i get it out the ground i could glass both sides for security.
