hello is anyone there

long time no post not going to mention the L word

Hope the absence means you are busy with plan B which was actually plan A ie the bigass liner

Have you thought about Wetsuit at all? It looks very promising.

I haven't, but it appears to be a copycat product of the Liquid Rubber product.

The issue is NOT the coating, but my application. Somewhere a void is being allowed. I can't find where it is, so I'm resolving it with a liner.

As I've said before, I wouldn't change my choice of coating if I had to do it over. I would change the 3/4 plywood to 1/2 plywood and hardi board.

Nope, no one is home. Until I get the money for the 25' x 30' liner, nothing more will be done with the tank.

I am not questioning your decision, but why would you do that differently?
I have followed your build since your first thread.. the answer might have already been said, but I don't want to reread it all again

I am just wondering, since 3/4" plywood is significantly stronger than 1/2" plywood.. It doesn't seem like it would save that much money to go to 1/2"

In any event, good luck with your liner. You certainly deserve the Fates to smile on you, after all you've been through. All my projects take three times longer than expected, and I question whether it is worthwhile.. until they are finally done.

It wouldn't be about saving money. It would actually cost more to go with 1/2" plywood and hardi board over it. The combination would be approximately 1" thick and immensely less giving than the 3/4" plywood.

I'll be checking it out

The hardie is a waste of time and money. Going directly onto the plywood seems to work better. (with pond armor)

Of course I could be way off base jumping into the middle of the conversation since this awesome forum decides to just stop notifying me here and there and now and again....

Best I found was $313 before shipping. Most places I've been finding are around $150 to ship. I'm still looking.
