I believe the fibreglassers use foam instead of render on the concrete blocks as its faster setting and very easy to smooth off also it does act as an insulation and is generally about 1/2" to 1" thick

Hi Guys

Your right Mik it is 1/2 inch thick. It just replaces rendering. The finish is only as smooth as the prep work carried out. I scraped all of the walls to make sure there was no lumps of cement protruding other wise it will take the contour of the protrusions. I went for it because any help in insulating the pond must be a good thing and the difference in price for the foam was minimal compared to having it rendered. Just personal preference really.

Jono ;D ;D
