I was cleaning the back of my acrylic tank, and found something sad. It looks like a small pocket of the sealant used to bond the top of the acrylic to the back of the acrylic has leaked out. I now have a permanent streak down the back. I don't understand how this is possible I thought this bond was at the molecular leave and permanent? how could this happen?

I'm sorry to hear about this. As I will be having a new acrylic tank delivered in the next week, I was curious as to which manufacturer made yours, if you don't mind me asking.
i work with acrylic a lot and the bonding agent we use evaporates in air in just a few seconds and only bonds to acrylic and a few types of poly, pour it on my hand and it just evaporates away, had to be there when new or someone tried to do a small repair and used way too much.
So it has to be something else? I have had the tank for months, this is new. I thought that same thing I thought this was impossible. The only reason I thought it was the bonding agent is because the spot at the top is a small gap between the top cover and the back wall about the size of a pin hole. This tank was made by a local shope, I love it I am very happy with it, and even if this had been there, for the price I paid well worth it. It is something new so it must be somthing other then the bonding agent. can any one suggest a good scratch repair kit? I am going to try and get it of with a razor and then buff the scratch out.
