I got some cheap rubber/vynil whatever gloves for "dirty" projects.

despite the fact that I have tons of nitrile/laytex gloves laying around, that thought never occurs to me until AFTER I'm peeling the silicone off my hands.

I'm fairly happy with how it looks. One of the corners looks slightly ruffled at the edges, thats just from excess that was on the tape trying to set as i peeled the tape off. The bottom is not neat at all in the corners, but that will be covered by sand or whatever. Overall looks like it should hold water just fine.

There is the odd itty bitty bubble. Do you guys think that is okay?

I dont think its half bad for a girls first attempt at siliconing something.

Been 24hrs, silicone is still as stinky as ever but seems set. Will probably let it sit another good week before adding water. Do you guys think it looks okay? Those bubbles are safe? Their smaller then they seem... I should have taken the marco lense off the camera....
