Pegasus Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Don't know if any members are interested in this type of project (See here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?t=83) but I recently was asked about the sealer I used for the project, and after a great deal of searching, both here and elsewhere in the world, I finally found a company in NZ that supplies a product that may be suitable. I recieved the following email today. Hi Bill, EQUUS INDUSTRIES PHONE 03-5780214 RIVERLANDS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE BLENHEIM HAVE A PRODUCT SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBED IT IS USED TO LINE TANKS FOR LIVE CRAYS. EQUUS ALSO HAVE OFFICES IN CHCH, WGTN,AUCK.I have just done a speci for live prawn tanks for Silicate Systems. What are you proposing to do? Give me a call or email SINCERELY Gus MacIver PH 021-467-671 Hope this helps. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 pegasus, I also got a reply from cotec who recommended an epoxy paint used to seal swimming pools. You can get a 3kg pack for $100, enough to paint 15 square metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 There's a product available here in NZ called Pondpaint. Comes in 1ltrs; 2ltrs; 4ltrs and 20ltrs. Colours are Black; Grey and a clear (which can be tinted but i've no idea how toxic that could get). Coverage range from 6-8 m2 per ltr. Retail for a ltr apx $36. Doesn't seem overly expense and having a clear finish could turn out quite nice if you've used a nice finished timber for the tank it's self. If anyone's interested in more info I can put enquiries back through the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryO Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Translucent Pondpaint won't stay clear underwater. It turns white as I found out with my project. http://shell.world-net.co.nz/~jenniefield/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 hmm, definately interesting change. Does it appear white due to reflection, or does it actually discolour its self? Was applying it simple enuff? just brushed on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
