ckmullin Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) A tip for a quick and perfect line when you build/fix your aquariums is to use painters masking tape! For each joint that needs silicone use two strips of tape to provide the exact width of the wanted seam. Feather the edges just as you would without the tape and while the silicone is still wet remove the tape. I've done this many times always with success. Do all the same direction seams...then when dry to the opposites until all are completed. Another tip is to have a wet rag on hand. Moisten your finger and then feather the seam..re-moisten as needed. The silicone will not stick to your finger and will allow for better workability. With these two tips you can easily have a perfect factory made silicone seam! Edited April 8, 2012 by ckmullin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
