Default Re: Deck Drain Frustrations!

Ok here it is so far. I got out of work early yesterday so I could get the tubes filled in, with the hopes I could drill them out this weekend and install the new moeller drains. This was my first time ever using west systems and doing any kind of fiberglass work Thank god for first grade paper mache class. Any how I tried to use duct tape to seal the bottom of the holes and fill the tube with thickend epoxy. WRONG. It only took about 2 minutes for the duct tape to fail and my epoxy to be all over the lawn. Then I took 2 small squares of fiberglass and slathered them in epoxy and let them get tacky and then stuck them in place and let them dry. (Thanks John) I let them dry in place over night and this morning they were hard as a rock. So quickly before work at 6am, I mixed up a really thick batch of epoxy and poured it down in the tubes and then placed another small fiberglass patch on the top to tie it in with the deck.
I was working by myself so I was only able to snap one picture.
