Found out something interesting this morning. Using water and soap helps very little in removing waterproof silicone from your hands. Starting to think I need to either scrub my hands in some gasoline or just wait until it dries and peel it off.

Another helpful thread on the OC. Don't try using water to remove waterproof silicone.





Stupid koi pond has a leak.

Haha, yea a bunch of koi. Probably three or four decent sized fish and around a dozen or so of their retarded inbred fingerlings.
The tear is towards the top and with it being so dry the past couple weeks it's a tad low. Figured now would be a good time to try and patch it.


Any other OC'ers gotta koi pond?

So you are saying water doesn't help remove a water proof product?

Serious question. Can you waterproof a fabric like a porch umbrella that's slightly leaky?

We have a big garden pond, but no fish. I'd like to get some mosquito fish, but I have no idea where to find them in my nape of the woods.

I have not. Losers smoke weed. And John Stewart is a sarcastic liberal homo.

I don't think you can. If it's possible, I doubt you'd be able to do it.

Some lava soap should work. I'd say quick and easy would be gasoline or brake parts cleaner.
