Hadarford Canal

Initially the pouring resin went well, pouring the resin into the canal.


Once dried most of it was okay. The reed and bulrush bank.


The tyre. The resin has gone a strange orange colour and not sure why.


The bicycle, traffic cone and floating log.


Some waterlilies above the lock.


Some more waterlilies at the canalside cottages.


Hadarford wharf.


Above the lock.


Unfortunately 3 cracks have appeared in the resin below the lock, these are 2 of them. We cannot work out why this has happened. 


This is the 3rd crack below the lock. I am not sure what to do about this, will give it a lot of thought.


Also there was a leak in the lock, so the level has dropped, but also it has not turned the same colour as the rest.


Well at least I tried.

Final touches to the Canal

Final touches to the canal on Hadarford this morning.
The photos are 2 of the 3 fish-plates I added this morning to the rails on the concrete piling.
I also weathered the canal and lock walls so all is now ready for the resin pouring to create the water effect Monday.



Everything ready for creating the water effect in Hadarford's canal.
Pouring resin, catalyst, murky water tint, various sized buckets and stirring sticks.
