rED O Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am going to make a plywood tank as some of you know already. I want to use fiberglass resin or some fiber glass product for coat the tank rather then pond liner. My question is dose anyone know of a place were I could get this done? I was looking at topline fiber glass but I believe they are out of business. If any one has some tips were I could get this done please let me know.

CORVETTE Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You want a spray type fiberglass? Because the other way is quite easy. I have built some stuff with it and its quite easy. i use the same material as jogging pants (fleece) fabric shop, and coat it with resin. hard as a rock and really strong.

darkangel Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You could try a body shop supplier, Buy the fiberglass fabric off of a bulk roll and some resin. The resin is a bit pricey, The last time I bought some it was about $45.00 per gal. 2 gal of resin if layed up right with 3 layers of fabric will rebuild the @$$ end of a corvette and you will almost be able to take it out on the road safely.

If theres an Industrial paint and plastics store in Edmonton that would be the place to go. I used epoxy resin on a large vivarium to make the bottom water proof and worked perfect, i know a guy who used similer stuff on a 300g plywood tank and had it for years.
