my second plywood build
- Thread starter mike b
- Start date
I used sweetwater epoxy to seal it and the glass came from a broken 90 gallon unfortunately the glass isnt as clear as Id hoped but its functional
I like it, my style as well. Can we have a full stock list and total cost to build?mike b;4791456; said:
stock list umbee, dovii, festae, red isletas,chancho,and haitiensis all males cost sweetwater epoxy$100 wood about $80 wood putty and silicone around $12 screws I bought at closeout $5 for 5lbs square drive the reason I didnt spend alot on the wood is I always check craigslist and if anyone posts close to me that theyre setting out lumber I go check it out if its good lumber its mine as long as i get there first of course, so I basically just paid for 2 sheets of ply and some studs the wood I used for my stand I didnt spend any money on the overflows I had from some acrylics I bought years ago and everything else water pump sump heaters I already had Ill post pics of the next one when its done hopefully within the next 3 or 4 weeks
You've definitely got some nice brutes in there. I'm guessing you only used one gallon of the SW, how many coats did you get out of it?
I gave it two coats and I actually still have some left over the tank dimensions I posted are interior dimensions Im not trying to push any particular product but this stuff was ridiculously easy to use
I have more monsters that will be going in my next plywood build
as far as the sweetwater epoxy goes I just mixed it as the instructions stated and spread it with a foam roller I used a brush in the corners it goes on as easily as regular paint would it has a very good consistency I researched for a long time before I decided on it my first plywood build I used fiberglass resin very tough in my opinion to work with even though it was definitely waterproof on my next build im going to see how the rubberized pool paint works its alot cheaper
