bingo.

The top of the front glass panel is exactly at the water level. A 5/8" glass brace is glued on top of the front panel and there is a 3/16 th inch gap at the water level on one side. If there are any surface ripples, a small amount of water overflows and runs down the front of the aquarium. I just have to plug a gap. <br>
Does anyone know how long it takes silicon to cure?<br>Has anyone ever tried sikaflex (it is a polyurethane based adhesive that is much thinner and cures quite quickly)?
On the tube I have it says the silicone skins over in an hour, and fully cures in 24. I don't know if it helps, but when I got my new 50, the trim was a bit loose. I just lifted the whole thing, and ran a bead of silicone along the top of the glass, and put it back.
