Trying a new waterproofing rubber!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
iffrrat where did you end up ordering it from, im here in indiana also, didnt know if we could get a bulk deal or something, i also have a shipping dock it can be shipped to if they make it any cheaper that way.
 
Here in the UK ronseal have the license and you can gett 4.2 litres of the stuff from B&Q for about 30 quid.

I can probably have a friend bring it back from Canada.......he works with me and visits there at least every other month.

What is the price of sanitred?
 
Well after a little research I found there are two parts to the sanitred one part is 100 the other is 85 and I'm not sure if that is plus shipping or not
 
A question was asked about the rubbers feel on my other thread, and i felt it was also relevent to this thread, so i will also add the answer here....

It didnt change in texture or feel once submerged that i can tell, which is a good sign. I wouldnt say it is spongy, but its not hard like a plastic either. Between the two, i would say it is closer to a hockey puck, with some give. like silicone, but slightly harder. once cured it still reamins tacky for a while, but losses that within a week or so. Im not sure if it means its still cureing or not.

I did a test with this stuff befor the build started for a few reasons. One was to check if it would change colour once submerged like liguid rubber states. It didnt during the test of a couple of days, but now that it has been in the tank for a few days, it is starting to turn brown. i dont mind it at all, in fact, i think it looks great. Since i put mine one with a normal brush for one coat and left horrible looking brush strokes(or so i thought) and with the rubber turning a bit brown, it almost looks like tree back now. So i think it actually now looks like a nice background.
 
How brown does it turn? Any pictures I am really wanting a black backround and I hear krylon fusion is fish safe after it cures

Try Pond armor http://www.pondarmor.com/ if you want it black!! Yeah the guys a permadri said it would turn brown after a few days submerged... But he told me it would be almost as dark as "DARK CHOCOLATE" on a candy bar... It that true? Joey what do you think?
