acrylic or polyurethane pond sealant for plywood tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree with pond liner, did it on my tank and just put in a acrylic window.
 
my tank has 4 large viewing windows in it maybe a bit tricky with the pond liner,
plus i have very cheap acrylic through my contacts just need to sort the base!

not being rude but my mrs wouldnt want that in her front room id be shot if that turned up, i will post a pic now and it will explain, thanks for the help tho, i will be ordering epoxy pond paint tonight and hopefully the acrylic in by sunday night!
 
Its only ugly looking because its in my bedroom, no need to look nice:(

With ur paint and acrylic, paint a boarder on the acrylic where the adhesive will go. Or you can just scuff up the boarder and throw on some 3m 5200 marine adhesive (what I used). On the tube it says PERMANENT so it AINT comming off.
