    Re: ferrocement

    Or, I can some speak as a Master Gardener followed with a complete Q/A session. This is a free service of course. What do you think?

    Although, if you will mostly have members from this forum... that might not be so useful for them!

    Wish I could Stucco but flying from the Philippines to there is really expensive. I would like to just see a video or pictures as to who you framed it and applied the cement. I would consider this a solution to our expense and lack of materials herein Palawan.

    Truly amazing Stucco! Are you going to seal these with wax?

    Re: ferrocement

    Thank you! Yes I’m going to use the wax cuz I still have quite a bit left over from the trial bed, but I still think the epoxy is the way to go.
    This tank and bed are for some duck that TCLynx hooked us up with. The supports on the bottom will hopefully be nesting boxes

    Looks good. Would have to be a good way to make a swirl filter.
