Thank you, TJ. That definitely gives me something to think about. I've been watching videos, both good and bad, and I've seen quite a few people have great success with one-part polymers such as DamIt, and it's around 1/3 of the cost of SoilFloc iirc. The one thing about DamIt that appealed to me was the fact they say you can apply it to dry ground before the pond fills up. Can SoilFloc do that?

I'm not in full panic mode yet, but I definitely have some concerns regarding the current and future integrity of my pond. Luckily it's a small pond, so if I go the polymer route, I should only need 1 unit (of part A and part B) of SoilFloc to treat it.
