There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There, now you have the secret to opening and starting a cartridge. Without going through this step (and you can use any stiff wire, a piece of cut coathanger works well) you will either be unable to move the plunger at all or, if you are quite strong, blow out the piston head and make a real mess, as a couple of disappointed reviewers have described.
The silicone product itself, is quite good and easy to use. I would suggest using nitrile gloves because, if you get it on your skin, it is quite tenacious and unpleasantly sticky until removed. Also, you can easily "pat" it into place and shape it by using some saliva to keep it from adhering to your gloves. Yes, saliva is "spit" and it works beautifully. That "vinegar" taste is just acetic acid and not at all harmful. If you don't like the idea of spit, you can use a little "409" cleaner (its just a really good wetting agent - like saliva) or even plain water, but wetter is better.
I used this stuff to "pot" some electronics circuitry that I needed to waterproof. While not exactly "electronics grade," it is a LOT cheaper, and I figured that with its short curing time and live fish compatibility, if I let it air cure for at least 48 hours, it ought to be minimally corrosive. I have taken this approach in the past, with similar adhesives and been well pleased with the results. After all, if it is designed to keep water in, it ought to be pretty good at keeping water out. Right?
So, learn from me. Be safe. Save money. Stay flexible. And be happy!
Thankfully this silicone worked very well, was easy to apply, and cured exactly as described! I secured 3 baffles into place and used roughly half of the 10.3oz tube. Keep in mind I used a little more than I should in places since it was my first time putting together a sump. If you are interested in building a sump, or possibly revitalizing an older tank, you can feel safe choosing this Aqueon silicone.
P.S. I already had corals and fish in my display tank..so I am certain that the "aquarium-safe" tag on this product is true as everything in my tank remained happy and healthy after incorporating my sump!
Well there was a big gap of empty space between the eyes and the top of the head, so the air would build up and the decoration would float to the top.
So I got this stuff and glued a rock to the top of the head. Now I have the exact decoration I wanted.
The sealant dried quickly enough (48 hours for maximum hardening), and it did exactly what it was advertised to do.
I would absoluetley but again if I needed a sealant for use in an aquarium.
