I think the filleted bit just protects critters, blades and stuff from hitting/nicking the actual bond seam. The entire inside of my tank was redone and it sure seems strong to me. It's extra work but if I was going to the trouble of redoing the verticals I'd just redo it all. Nice new and clean seams.

I just finished, did the whole thing. And I'm high on fumes......

Yup! Now just let it set, get my rubber base on the stand and tomorrow the tank gets put on the stand. Then start making the canopy. I'm going to Cuba next Sunday and I want water in this before I go

Ok so first you paint fume yourself into oblivion. Now you're high on silicone fumes and you want to have a new and untested system running with water while you go on vacation? You sir are fearless!
