Product Description
APPLICATION 1. Glass must be properly prepared as described. 2. Apply the aquarium sealant to edge surface of the glass to be joined to the non-edge surface. After application of the sealant, the assembled glass components should be tightly placed in a fixture or jig to allow sealant to flow evenly between joined surfaces and to give support during the internal sealing of the aquarium. 3. Selected bead size appropriate for the size of aquarium being constructed. Apply the sealant into the center of the joint formed by the sections of glass. Tool the sealant immediately after application. Any excess sealant should be removed before the sealant is cured by suing a clean cloth and a suitable solvent such as MEK (methyl ethyl Ketone), TCE (trichlorethylene) or alcohol. Cured sealant can be trimmed with sharp blade. Allow sealant to cure at least 7 to 10 days before adding water and fish. This will ensure full cure and will allow the curing agent to totally dissipate. REPAIR APPLICATION The ASI Aquarium Silicone Sealant can be used to repair old or damaged aquariums. 1. Remove all of the damaged sealant, clean area to be repaired with a clean cloth and a suitable solvent. Apply sealant as described above and tool. 2. Check repaired aquarium for leaks before adding fish to tank. Fill aquarium with water and let sit for several days and check for any signs or leakage.

It set perfectly and the aquarium sealed up nicely. I'm glad I with this product.
Thorough preparation is needed. Trim ALL old silicone away with an exceptionally sharp razor blade and wash repeatedly with vinegar. (I never go so far as to try to separate the glass pieces.) The new silicone WON'T adhere to the old. Wipe dry with a clean lint-free towel and allow an additional 12 hours or more to air dry. Apply a good thick bead of silicone and press into the corners by running your finger along all joints while the silicone is still very soft. DON'T try for as narrow a bead of silicone as possible, especially when resealing an older aquarium. There is A BIT OF FORGIVENESS for spots of old silicone remaining if your new seam goes beyond them.
Then BE PATIENT.
