Sissy's sock

[Mike in Vermont]

Fiberglass is a hard material.

Fiberglass is a hard material.

My dad rebuilt antique aircraft and he used material type fiberglass to make new parts often, so I was just wondering.

 

[HARO]

The fiberglass cloth used to make car and boat parts is a very limp and flexible material. It doesn't get hard until the two-part resin component is applied to it, and it takes some time to harden. What we're talking about here is mosquito screen (AKA fly screen), which is more flexible than the old aluminum variety.

I'm including the post where Sissy shows us how she made hers. And yep, she used fishing line.

This stuff:

You can buy it in rolls at Lowes or H-depot and other hardware etc. stores. Comes in gray or black.

 

[tbendl]

Yup, same stuff I used for my rock sock.

 

[j.w]

Exactly, j.w., it's the part above the water that worries me.

Maybe one could attach some kind of black cords that blend in to it to hold it against the pond so all the sock is in the water? Or just wait and see how T's and sissy's last. They could last for years tho before they fall apart if they do.

Well mine will be covered with rock so I don't anticipate a UV issue. But until I try it, I won't know for sure. I think Sissy had said she has had hers up for like 3+ years with no issues. And hers was exposed since it was against wood I think.

Just try it you all.................you'll like it

It is all in the eyes!

That is brilliant but why don't they make a liner with pictures of rocks on it?

 

[tbendl]

Bullfrog, they make that rock and roll liner to put over the edgethat looks like rocks but I really wanted rock rocks.
