he everyone, i'm considerign building a plywood reef and thinking of using liquid rubber to waterproof it. my question is about coralline algae. will the coralline algae wipe off the rubber easily or will it need to be scrapped off liek it is on plastic or glass parts? i ask because it is rather hard to scrape liquid rubber without the risk of damaging it while doing so

I'd be more concerned about the salt eating away the rubber might want to think about fiberglass or plastics
Most people use fiberglass on the seams and several coats of epoxy.
As far as coraline is concerned, its can be dificult to remove, and I assume it would take something like a brillo pad to get it off of silicone or rubber.

i just pulled up the specs and it says resistant to salt water

i would use west systems 2 part epoxy, but i want a black or a blue aquarium back and i'm not sure if i'd be able to paint under or over it

Interesting - I'm not familiar with that exact type of rubber - I'm am quite familiar with it's cousin ( Modified rubberized asphalt/ EPDM combo) Says it's okay for ponds and salt resistant. If truely lives up to it's claims works go for it.
i don't see why it wouldn't be, its mroe or less silicone rubber. i'll have to do more research into this product
