the new 299 gallon tank is almost done. spent all day sunday 'fiberglassing' the tank. actually, we didnt use fiberglass, but instead used an iso resin.
learnt some interesting things about applying resins
1) adding too much catalyst makes the resin harden in 10 minutes, also whatever resin you have will solidfy, heat up, and start to smoke.
2) 4 rollers is not enough for 2 n00bs trying to do 3-4 coats of resin. buy at least 8 rollers and a few disposable brushes.
3) change out of your good clothes and into your crappy clothes BEFORE starting to paint.
