I just wanted to just say thank you to all for taking the time to read my questions and providing valuable feedback to this Koi hobbyist. One who is starting out and relying on the experts. I also thank all of you for your patience with me in my endeavor to learn how to provide the best conditions for my kids. I'm a fast learner no matter how long it takes.
As l learn and others inquire I hope that I will be able to provide valuable information for them as well.

Again a great big hug, yes to the males and females of this forum and a thank you.

David (aka kougs)

I know they sell paint for the composite stuff at hobby lobby .It says it is pint for plastic and composite and a few other things .Says permanent as long as cure time is followed .Great kougs because a lot fail and give up on there ponds because they don't give it a chance .Seems they want instant perfection and that only comes with work and patience .Takes thinking outside the box now and then too .

I contacted the company, my gators sank, floated crooked, paint peeling off the other things. They said they where not made to be outside unless a protective coating put on them.
They did not care if the gators sank. jw lucked out, me no go.....I should have yanked the charge via the cc.

The bear has white showing all over its back, the little gator welcome to the garden sign is peeling off. The floating gators now have white heads.

man addy1, so sorry to hear and I'm embarrassed that I suggested them. They should own up to what they sell.

Is ok, I just need to figure out a way to protect them or repaint with something that lasts. I rate them ZERO on customer service!

Hugs back to you, Kougs. I started here with my first pond 2 years ago right about now, learning, reading, figuring, calculating, and asking tons of questions that now seem so imbecile! But, I learned as I went, and no one told me my questions were stupid. I learned in baby steps, and figured things out eventually. Like Sissy says, you have to go in baby steps, learn and think outside the box sometimes. The best part of this forum is seeing everyone else's creations, getting ideas for improvements on my ponds, and just the feeling of friends there all the time!
