This is my first year building a rink and I can't wait to get out to skate with the kids and whole neighborhood. However, I've only got about 2-3 inches of ice built up so far. I used a liner and have been patching holes as I find them. But my question is, there's about 3 inches of snow expected tonight. Should I utilize that snow to even things out on the ice?
My shallow end only has about 1 inch of ice so far so I'm thinking I could pack the snow down and then spray it down to fill in my gaps and uneven spots? I spent all day yesterday well into the night adding about 7 layers onto the ice. I made substantial progress, but it's STILL not thick enough.
Any advice would be great to alleviate some of the frustration.
