Whats the best method of sticking/fixing polystyrene to GRP??????

[site admin]

If its not going to get wet, I would say grip fill or any water based adhesive.
What are you up to?

Evnin mate,
I'm trying to stick polystyrene to the outside of the filter chambers on my G on T. The normal spray on adhesive i steal from work isn't up to the job!!.
ps what did you think of the picture of my tancho on koi mag site?

Hi Mitch,

Most DIY shops sell adhesives to fix polystyrene ceiling tiles, these should be up to your requirements.

Where on the koi mag site is your Tancho Photo?

Hi Mitch,

The fish has grown well, looks in very good condition and has maintained a good body shape. The tancho spot looks a bit thin though, is this due to the koi being grown on indoors? or maybe just too strong a flash on the camera.

It's fared better than my tancho showa (No 45). This was from my shiro utsuri spawning and I had doubts about how stable the tancho spot would be when I entered the koi. I was right, the tancho spot disappeared about 2 weeks after it was moved out to the pond.

Have you entered anything in the winter grow and show? If you look closely you'll spot 3 koi looking remarkedly like the clubs three raffle fish, although the photos don't really do them justice.

Hi Colin,
Yes your right, i think the hi has lightened a bit due to being inside, also the fish was photo'd at night with a point and shoot and your right about the flash effect on the spot!
I did notice at the start of the comp you had entered your tancho( i saw it at your place) but after losing its spot i think your left with a nice shiro.
warmest regards ........... mitch

Mitch,
Sorry I have not posted before now, been busy doing the New Website
I have had a look at your Tancho, good body shape, growth, and skin quality.
But to be perfectly honest, a bit worried about the tancho spot.
I do hope I am wrong, but when they fade, it will start around the outside.

I really hope it does not.

regards
Dave.

Morning Dave,
NEW web site!! Would that make this a Scoop?
The Tancho:- The rest of the Go Sanke in the tank have faded at a similar rate, which gives me hope and also when she was young the hi spot was roughly that shape you just couldn't see it as she was so small.
So i think its going to be a case of wait and see, Hopefully its stable but if not,
i've got room for her. She might of rubbed some spot of when she was flinging herself round the garage floor eh!!!

warmest ragards boss ...............MItch.

Mitch,
New Website, SSHHH
Would be a shame for your Tancho, as its got a lot going for it.
Might be just down to the lack of light etc.
Do you clay your tank?

Dave.
