I have been useing a product called Glue Devil Marine Silicone and would like to say it out performs all other silicone by far. It sticks to everything and dries 5x faster that bostik. It is made in PE and Midas have got it in stock countywide and Capewood Industries. I would recommend this over everything else it is an amazing product. I cant find any info on the net about them so i went to them and they said they have been to busy to get a proper website up :p . So far the piece of pvc i stuck together with this hasnt come apart.

Just thought i would let people know about this amazing product:bigsmile:

Thanks
Antony

A seemingly stupid question.

I'm guessing you can't use this "in the water" and need to dry the surface as per usual?

I just want to make a plan with the stupid air hose.

I remembered very quickly why I hated air bubbles and that kind of shit so much.

Why not use the suckers on the air hose SauRoN??? You can stick them wherever you want straight onto the glass and they stay put.

I've never seen that sort of thing, but it makes perfect logical sense.

Will see what Panorama has on the weekend, need to get suckers for my heater anyway.

How much?

Would much quicker buy from you guys, especially since I asked Veegal to check for a large piece of Mopani for me on Friday.

Oh lol, then I'll just wait it out until there's something that costs less in petrol than the product.

Hopefully a moerse piece of wood, and a few plants.

/read that meaning end of the month.

Great to know I think I am going to try this Glue Devil Marine Silicone because I have had bad luck with a few of my tank they cracked for no reason.... :evil:

I would like to sound a word of warning about silicone sealers. A number of years I went into this matter in detail, because I wanted to know exactly what the chemistry of these glues is. The most important component is something called a silane. This does the chemical bonding of the glass and the rest is the actual rubber. Lower grades of silicone rubber contain less silanes and therefore do not have the components to actually bond the glass together strongly. The best undoubtedly is Dow Corning which is the company that actually developed silicone rubber. Bostik marine is also good but not as good. I would check very carefully on any new brands, as the consequences of a burst tank could be a disaster!

Kind regards,

Dirk
