hey man if you know anything about silicone beads and how much 1 10.3 oz tube can do can u tune into my Quick All GLASS aquariun silicone Question

 

[zach c.]

after i get the tank together and its time to tape it up to hold it together should i use Duck tape( wich was recommended) or Masking tape(also reccomended)(i hear u gotta use the white regular kind if you use masking) masking tape seems like it would work pretty well tho what do you guys think?

 

[Dr Joe]

Duct tape (and buy the GOOD stuff, 3M $8 a roll) and fold the ends back over themselves 1/4" so the very end doesn't stick to the glass and it's easy to remove.

Use the blue masking tape for the silicone edging. make sure it gets in between the two pieces of glass to bond them too.

Considered an electric caulking gun yet? You will...You will.

when i get ready to push a payne of glass how hard do i push it in? only enough so some of the silicone squeezes out?
