    Re: DIY Fiberglass Growbeds?

    Hi Shas, thanks for the great advice. I've had the 2am wake-up session about exactly that. I've sealed some pine a while ago with a water bases sealant and it rotted......What I'll do. When I see the rot settling in, I'll give the inner liner another coat of glass and let the wood fade away. It is treated shutter board, so hopely it will be a while.

    Hi Foodchain, Thanks, you have a good point. I'll give it a go with the next mould. It seemed tidier to contain all the resin inside the mould.
    When in doubt, stick it in, see if it grows.

    Re: DIY Fiberglass Growbeds?

    When I used a blank for a mould, I would wrap it aluminum foil. It would just pop off then, and then you spend the time pealing off the foil. Was cheap enough.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."
