![]() I have redone a number of tanks over the years and I don't rightly recall any enjoyable experiences. The key to a re-do is clean glass, it is a very labor intensive job and if you want it done correctly you would be best to completly disassemble and re-do the whole thing, the only real positive is it does give you the opportunity to replace the front pane with a scratch free or starfire panel and possibly polised edges for a high end look. If you insist and want to tackle the job you will need:
-flat work surface large enough to accomadate the tank -rolls of paper towel -box of razor blades -masking tape (hold panels in place once glued) -rubbing alcohol and 00000 steel wool (to clean the seams) -heat gun (optional, if you heat the glass while cleaning it works better) -cheap silicone spatula (I have found this to work much better than using a finger to tool the corner seams) -tube(s) of silicone (I use GE brand silicone 1, do not use silicone II) -friend to help as you need to work reasonably quick -box of bandaids Be sure to work in a well ventilated area. Good luck, have fun ![]() |
