So here’s the plan.
-Tear down tank
-Clean off all silicone
-Clean off any silicone residue with acetone
-Sand and polish glass
-Pre-assemble tank a mark where to lay masking tape and lines for the 1/16” gap of silicone
-Dissemble tank and lay masking tape for where I don’t want silicone to touch.
-Clean glass one final time with 99% alcohol
-Lay silicone beads and get my family to help setup all the pains of glass.
-Spread silicone
-Remove masking tape and clean any blemishes
-Wait 14 days allowing silicone to cure.
-Clean glass
-Lay masking tape for Eurobrace
-Clean glass and prep for silicone
-Lay silicone for Eurobrace
-Apply Eurobrace and remove excess silicone
-Remove masking tape and clean off any blemishes
-Then let tank sit for another 18 days allowing silicone to cure
-Then fill tank all the way to the top and let sit for 1 month, while checking for any signs of flawed silicone beads.
-Then after the tank has passed the month leak test I’ll be drilling the back wall and installing the external overflow kit.
