tank reseal question

[bbortko]

About a month ago my 36g began to leak. Since the tank is stocked I ran out and bought a new one (should have tolmd the wife they were out of stock and upgraded) and now I'm trying my hand at resealing the old one. My problem/question has to do with the curing. I am redoing the inside seam and leaving the structural seam intact and have read not to move the tank until cured. I want to seal in the garage and move the tank inside to cure, is this ok since I didn't touch the stuctural seal?

Yeah, you should be OK. Just be careful how you pick it up and try and avoid any torsional forces.

Yeah it will be fine, I did the same thing to 55gal.

Yup will be fine, just try to clean as much of the old silicone out as possible, I find using fresh razors are best 8-10 swipes per a blade then a new one. After metho spirits quick wipe and then I dry with paper towels and lay duck tape around the seams.
