Murray,

I've got a frame that I wanted to make into a tank with fibreglass, but I'm not sure where to get large pieces of fibreglass or the resin. Do you know?

Cheers,

Duncan.

You will need to get some sheets and glue it all together. a mould is needed to make a seamless FG object. It is ok to make up a tank from FG panels. Just need to find somewhere to buy them.

You should see pix of my 2300 ltr FG tank in a couple of days, just waiting on the insulation sheets to be delivered to glass them on, then pop it off. RasKar has put his hand up for the first one, he is getting it really low cost because he is the first, and this one will have some cosmetic faults making it into a second.

Any seconds I get I will let you know. It would look good in that fabulous greenhouse of yours.

Thanks for the info Murray. I'll try to find a place that sell the sheeting.
I might even be in for one of your tanks.

Cheers,

Duncan.

Donarto,

If you want me to make you up some sheets of FG , just send me an email with the sizes you need, and I will see what I can do.
