Clear Aquarium Silicone Sealant - 10.2 Fluid oz Cartridge

The only reason I took away a star is because it is difficult to work with. It is important that you are as quick as the product in order to cure it. The finish on this item is nice and clear. The following tips might be helpful I. - Make sure your hands are protected. You will generally find the silicone very sticky and it will leave a residue on your hands. If you have smoothed it out, you should resist the urge to retouch it. A smooth finish will be destroyed if this is done. I. - It can help to lay down painters tape before you begin to use it. If you want to remove the tape before the silicone cures, please remove it before it dries. I. - Make sure you use the product in an area that is adequately ventilated because the vinegar smell of the product is very strong. I. - Whenever the scent of silicone has disappeared, it means the silicone has been completely cured.

This products is exactly the same. When fully cured, this product is SUPER STRONG. The rock cave also sets up so quickly within an hour, so you will be able to continue adding rocks, like this giant cave I'm building for a Red Devilfish. You can't stop when you have the power to do so.
It's a water cured glue so mist some water on your project or seams after it has set and cured. I'll tell you what it is.

I really like it. a 55gal and a 10gal with one tube, so we still have a little bit left over if we need to redo anything. It is possible to screw a screw into the tube nozzle to retain the left overs for later use. One of the only complaints is that it dries so fast. You have like one or two hours to work with it. Take 2 minutes to make your line and to smooth it out and to rip off the tape. The longer it is than that, the more goopy it becomes. Therefore, only do one or two lines of tape at a time. Lay your tape accordingly as you work so you can peal it off However, I do not think that other silicone would be any different. I guess you could slow down the cure as a result, since it states on the tube that the cure speed is faster in humid conditions and when the temperature is above 77 degrees. In addition, it takes 7 days to cure, rather than 48 hours as seen in It is possible to chance it, but it would be a lot of work to do it again!.

I have been rebuilding pet store tanks run into by cars etc of various sizes for a long time, and I am currently working on setting up a Discus aquarium in the Master Bedroom for the 6th one. There is another tank in there I am modifying which uses this stuff well. I am also working on the bowfront in the second tank. In that case, scarifying two bar towels and having lava soap afterwards is a good idea if you are edified about it 1) This stuff works as it should, which involves it bonding to you.

The silicone is quality, but I read the instructions incorrectly and thought it would dry within 24 hours, when in fact it only cures after 24 hours and does not dry within 7 days The dry period is 14 days, which is quite The smell is extremely strong, which takes your breath away as well as burning your eyes when applied. Use it in an area with good ventilation. Sealant tools did not work you had to use your fingers to smooth the seams, and you only had seconds to smooth out the seams. Seams should be sealed one at a time due to a short set up time. Do not go back and smooth the sealant after its applied. I applied a masking tape, but I had to remove it immediately, or the tape would damage the seam, causing me to have to reapply, if I waited minutes to remove. Keeping the screw on tip on the tube if you do not use the entire length is recommended. A number of aquariums and canister filters were sealed.

Here's what I used to re-check my work I used it to seal a 75 gallon aquarium and it worked well. One tube was needed, but I only bought two, and there were still some left over from the first. Before applying this, I used denatured alcohol and a green scrub sponge to remove the last remaining vestige of miro film on the old silicone. Spritz the area with water and if the water tension doesn't break away, then you have removed the last bit of It is important to do this because if old silicone is applied to new silicone it will not adhere. A finger dipped in water smoothed it with my finger after I used painters tape to make the joints straight.

This works great as a sealant for your aquarium, as other commenters have noted. In order to get the pretty line along the side of the tank with the tape method, you will need to remove the tape quickly, as this will become tacky pretty quickly. Having it too long will cause it to pull along, so using a tool or your finger can do it, but go over it very quickly, because if you go back over it once it has set, it will look terrible. Here is the photo after taking a second look at it. Here is a photo of the after pictures after being cleaned and reapplied. Also, there are very strong fumes, so take a deep breath and smooth it out, then get out of the Taking a deep breath again. Performing the procedure twice will make you nauseous, and you will cough a bit, but it will be worth it in the long run if done outdoors. At the end, I used about three quarters of the tube to fill a 65-gallon Redoing the corner, complete removal of all the bead and re-sealing was also part of the process.

I've used this recently to glue rocks onto a pipe in my aquarium for my Pleco in order to make it look more attractive. In order to be certain it was safe, I let the plastic pipe cure for a good 2 weeks before I put it back into my aquarium.
