FIRST Plywood Build With Pics
- Thread starter LittleMonsterFun
- Start date
Ok, I am basically waiting for materials.... but I will shoot a few pics of the painted inside and stained outside. Ordered plastic sheets and glass today. 
you can use elstomeric membrane. Find it at your local lowes/home depot in the roofing section. You will need two gallons. Take one to the paint dept. and have them tint it any color you want. (make sure it is white) One of the brand names is cool white and it is made by Sherwin Williams. Cost about $13 per gallon. When they tell you that it will not work tell the paint mixer that you talked to the company and they said it will. (This is what worked for me, in reality I just took a chance).
I have had water in my ply 150 now for 4mo and I have have had fish living in it for 3mo. Seems to have no bad affects on the water. Much cheeper than all other sealing methods. My tank is dark blue.
I put on three coats of white then two coats of blue. Worked very well.
Just a thought. Could save time, money, and heartache

Do you mean something like this? I might just have to try it.
