    Fixing in a JBR skimmer

    Hi,. I need to fix my JBR skimmer in place before fiberglassing the pond tomorrow.

    How can I best do this, just with cement or some kind of adhesive on the block work?

    Thanks in advance.

    I just used a mortar mix, probably better off with PinkGrip if you plan to stick it in place

    Do you mean to tell us that when your wall fell down the skimmer stayed attached to the blocks when it was on the floor? Lol

    I know but that wouldn't have been as funny lol

    Don't worry you'll probably get your own back shortly by putting a pin hole in the next fitting or bit of pipe you give me lol

    Shit I have given you that idea now

    Gold Label is only about a fiver? I thought it was nearer the price of CT1 which is between £10 to £15 depending where you have to buy it from
