If this one doesn't explode that has possibilities. PM me when your ready. If you can't tell I have the DIY bug right now lol.Looking good so far. Now I know who to call when I want to build that custom tank for the house.
Would be better if I could get around to cutting the bottom.Fantastic work so far!!
Epic tank or epic failure. We shall see.epic tank.
For the little guy calling it home it will be.
Hi Bob. Yes thats a pretty big gap, after the cement is poured I nudge the panels closer together with a rubber dead blow mallet. When bonding with 2 part cements 20% shrinkage is the norm. As the cement polymerizes the panels will be pulled together closing the gap. Easy for 1/4 -1/2 material on it's own but needs assistance for the thicker stuff which is generally what the 2 part cement is used for anyhow. Most folks dont consider these factors and end up with excess bubbles or creases in the joint. If the panels are not allowed to move as the cement dries you end up with creases in the joint, this is very common and looks like this (see attached photo). If the panels are too large and heavy to move on their own (i.e sheet of 2" thick material) they need to be moved closer together by hand as the cement dries.Phixer it makes perfect sense to me and appreciate the post. I just can't see 4-6mm being right. Your talking about almost an 1/8"-1/4" glue gap? Sure you don't mean .4-.6mm?
