Just go the final layer on, what do you think?! Is it to much of a oxidation look? just got to let it sit for a few days and I can rinse it and put it in my tank.

Then scrub out the tank, get my new glass brace and put the rim on!

I think it looks good... though I'm still concerned about the smell... and possible taste

Funniest thing I have read all day!

 

[MrBones]

Ah those Kentuckians, always wanting to taste everything.

Hey Mog, did you use PVC glue for your piping?

 

[Mogurako]

Hey Mog, did you use PVC glue for your piping?

Yes I did, the PVC glue is 100% safe after curing however. I notice that allot of the plumbing fit together tight enough when I water tested it that it could be left unglued.

 

[MrBones]

You have been my source of inspiration and helpful information resource. I am getting of my procrastinating arse today and starting my background today.

Ok Mog, I changed my mind... I now hate you for inspiring me! <JK>

I now have an apartment full of little feather weight pink balls of fluff from **** flying everywhere!! OMG!!

Ahahaha I've been there, thats really the worse part.

Had a bit of a set back, I got to much sealer on the sides and now it doesn't fit in the tank the way it should Now I have to trim in a few spots and repaint. Also despite being very careful the sides have gotten a little scratched up when i was doing a dry fit. If I paint the sides with scratches be less noticeable or more so?

Ugh so frustrated

 

[roundar]

I would assume they'd be less noticeable but impossible to say for sure w/o actually being there and looking at it.You could try to use some of that material to fill it back in before repainting.

I meant scratches in the glass.

 

[MrBones]

Wow, it's funny, I was going to ask yesterday how much extra space you had to compensate for the sealer when you carved it. That is very frustrating, I feel for you.

Well I had about 1/4 inch on each side but got to much sealer on either side. I did some sanding and trimming. Should be all good now. Just waiting for the repainted areas to cure again.

Can't wait to see your end result ! It's going to be stunning !

I will he ready for another dry fitting tomorrow.

 

[JennaSimpson]

How's everything moving along ?

 

[Mogurako]

How's everything moving along ?

Very well, as of tonight the background is officially siliconed in. I pick up my glass for the brace tomorrow. tomorrow I will paint my trim and silicone it on. Picture day will be Friday.

 

[JennaSimpson]

I can hardly wait !

 

[Mogurako]

If I stay on my time line the tank will be up and running Friday night Saturday night at the latest.

 

[Mogurako]

Glass brace is in place and the silicone is curing, first coat of paint is on the stand. Next silicone the trim on the tank, wait for that to cure them prep the trim to be painted. Going to be a loping night, pass the red bull please.
