That is a most excellent build. Can I ask you, did you apply the resin direct to the wood or did you reinforce it with a layer of mat or something first?
Yes direct onto the ply wood a light sand and clean with prepsol or the like the surface must be clean and free off dirt, depending on the size and depth you will need to apply up to 10 layers of mat I used a medium grade! then 3 coats of neutral top coat in the colour you wish to finish in.
Dude, I bet that made the worth of your house ten-fold! Looks AMAZING! I am in the process of making one for my ol' lady... what is the "mat" material? And where can I find some? thnx, and awsome tub again! NICE!!!
The fibre glass matt can be purchased from any good fibre glass supplier and is sold by weight and per meter, good luck with your build your ollady will love it
Thanks mate!!!! A lot of blood, sweat and tears I tell you...but now plenty of cold beer is put away watchin the footy....so the pay back is a bitch lol
I have the solar heating operational now so the water temp is 34 degrees in winter
Have a go at building your own just build within your limitations and budget...
Dude, i need step by step, what to apply how to apply, i am stunned that you actually make this from wood, simply stunned. =D
