DIY Plywood

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yes i agree but its cheaper... and they dont have the lbr... but im definitely going to use one of the two for my tank., rubberized liners are 100 times better then using resin and fiberglass... who wants to sand anyway., but with the sanitred and blue max i would use at least 4-5 coats you know because I'm crazy and paranoid...
 
Make sure silicone will adhear to whatever coating you choose. I used "Herculiner" only to find out silicone will not adhear to it(even though their tech dept. told me it would). I had to coat the coating with epoxy.

Well I think I've just ruled it out.

$150 I didn't mind paying but another $100 for shipping to the UK seems a bit excessive!

Any other suggestions?
 
I get the impression this would be a lot easier if I went the concrete route.

I've been told that Koi pond sealants would be fine, but only apply to concrete.

I agree, I like the color too. Wonder how well it adheres to acrylic?

I used drylok on cement boards on my 600.
