yep, just using pond shield, I have used fiberglass matting in the corners for some added strength, I ordered it from USA and had it posted here. I had no problems with customs etc as product is non-toxic and for personal use, so it came straight to my door , one lot even went through a customs inspection and pasted no problems.mr giant gourami;1627593; said:
From what I have found fiberglass is not water proof in long term immersion and would need to be coated with a sealer , this is why I choose Pond Shield in lieu of fiberglassing and then coating the fiberglass with a fish safe sealer.
I have used more product than I thought I would, however I did put on a thicker coating.
Hope this info helps.
thanks that helped loads what was the thickness of the coating or what should it be?? was thinking of getting this pack http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/store/pond-pack-square-mtrs-p-488.html

They supply a thickness gauge it is about 1mm (Black Border Line), I ended up, with up to 3mm or more thickness. There application guide says a thickness of 10mils.
The majority of those fish reach 12" in length. Several of them could reach 24" or 36" in length.muckieman;1632822; said:this is website is called monsterfishkeepers not lilfishkeeperslol why are all the big fish so much over there ????
