Butler sink for a wildlife pond?

(1/3) > >>

Georgie:
I'm thinking of making a raised wildlife pond (I've read up on how to do it) and I've just seen on Freegle that someone is offering an antique butler sink.  This sounds like a runner to me, what do you think?  And if I'm lucky enough to be offered it, what would you recommend to seal the plug hole/overflow.  Thanks.   :)

if t'was me i'd use silicone /

Georgie:
Right thanks.  Can you expand a bit on that, please.  Do I fill in the holes with some kind of cement and then use the silicone to seal or just use silicone?

we used aquarium glue sealant on ours georgie,the stuff you would use if you were to repair a fish tank

tonybloke:
apply a thin smear of silicone sealant (fish-tank grade) to the plug, the weight of the water will ensure a water-tight seal. leave the over-flow open, to allow for overflowing when (if) we get a down-pour..
