"I connect to my laundry sink to get hot water.  I've had great success with my rink despite the weather and I feel a big part of it is flooding with hot water. (the other being constant shade).  If you have access to a laundry sink,…"

"Sometimes you can reach into the holes melted into the ice because of the leaves and pull them back out. It's always such an exciting time when the rink first goes up and is all clean and ready to go. And it is always so depressing when that…"

"Just got in from a a couple of hours of playing.  The scraper does wonders.  I scraped spots and misted with hot water using a spray bottle this morning.  Ice was great.  Unforunately, I think Rain is in the forecast, so…"

"I took a scraper to it tonight and then flooded it and it helped a lot.  A few more scrapes tomorrow and a flood and it'll be good."

"I got mine on sale at Menards. A 50x30 silver tarp liner was only $90!! That might be your best bet to try and find one this time of year."

"I'm in Scarborough Brian and I've been lucky this season with many skating days until now.  I had the same problem and tried to remove snow in one area and messed it up.  Flooded it this morning with some barrels of water, but it…"

"I'm glad it all worked out for you.  Cold weather is on its way!!  "

"Looks great Todd.  Our ice wasn't quite ready near Christmas, so I made sure that just the little guys skated.  Be patient and keep adults off until you're completely solid and it'll pay off in the longrun.  We've…"

"Bought mine from Nice Rink in Oct....not sure if they are in stock or not."

"Holy %$#%!!!  This is trick.  Is there any way that you can you can isolate the rip and tape it up?  Do you have a pic of it?  "

"Where do you get your liners from...I was looking at some sites that have liners and it seems they are all OUT OF STOCK for this year.....I was like...WOW! "

"Has anyone ever thought of using, or has used, a mesh netting across their rinks to stop all those leaves and debris from getting into the ice?I was thinking about something like this or that, but am wondering if it will create a greenhouse like…"

"That was an interesting find, Karen.   I never would have thought about milk...might have to give it a shot here once the temps drop off again.   Rink held up pretty well with 44 degrees yesterday, but never got below freezing last night…"

"I tried some white non-toxic kids paint.  I would need more of it (less dilution) to make a difference.   So many leaves and twigs.  Mix it up with a bucket o' water.  I'll try this again if it ever gets cold enough to…"
