How to Seal a Pond using Bentonite Clay

Watch the guys use bentonite clay to seal the bottom of the pond. Use a mini excavator, bulldozer and a skid steer to mix it in and then level it back out.

What’s the result

[@buzzbustillos3016]

I remember picking up Railroad cars out of Belfouche SD.
An old head conductor said to me years ago. Be careful when you go to the Gorilla factory. I was confused. The engineer turned and said. The bentonite is all over the rail, very slippery and it sticks to everything like gorilla shit.
I waited and before I could ask about the gorilla. LMAO.
But it does get nasty after a thaw or rain.
I am considering using a bag for my hogs water hole. Suddenly the clay got really thirsty.

I live in east Texas and about to dig my own pond. Where can I purchase big bags of bentonite?

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

I will ask the engineer where he got that tomorrow. Thanks for watching

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We're about to do the same thing....but not with all that fine CAT equipment!!

[@jagboy69]

What's a big bag of that stuff cost?? Thanks!

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

If I remember right it was $19,000 for 40,000 pounds. That included trucking.

[@jagboy69]

@@thomasconstructiontexas That's not horrible. I need about 1000lbs for a small project. San Antonio a good place to get it?

[@goaatveing]

is it still holding water?

[@thomasconstructiontexas]

It was actually put in to keep water from coming up. This is going to be a dry pond. Thanks for watching

[@seeharvester]

No. That thing will never hold water.
