mine was upside down for over a year and didn't see a difference the only thing I noticed is that after I moved the pump close to the floor / base of the tank ( I had it very close to the roof - why ? dont know /emoticons/biggrin.png ) the battery lasts longer ?! but i might be wrong

(that stuff look good mate check the drying time tho as wat i used took 3 days to dry proply but its very tough stuff /emoticons/smile.png

oh .. 3 days that's a lot probably I should strip it off first and apply a coat on friday which will be dry by monday ?! ok thx

 

[tench0771]

i was lucky as i had to vans so i wated a week but it was dry in 3 days the corners were squeegy as i slaped it on very thick round the edges but the middle was dry in 3 days

Well done with your set up tench. Hopefully one day I will look forward to doing all that prep. All the best:thumbsup:

 

[tench0771]

here is my tank ive

sealed it at last

 

[tench0771]

its not finished need to under sill it again in side an im guna do the same out side now the big question will it leak or will it not time will tell all bets r on lol

 

[cheapncheerful]

i reckon it wont leak...as you have used a full tube of sealer there...like my jobs...get carried away...have we got a betting section....jobs a good un tench....

the real question is...were you really asleep or posing....and who took the pic....? its a cracker...

 

[tench0771]

haha missis cault me out kiping last nte bets r on so post ur anser every one

 

[Smurf]

Got my fingers crossed for you :thumbsup:

 

[Tuffers]

I vote leak. Reason being, I used sealant to stick some lengths of 2x2 on my tank to create a ledge, so I could put buckets etc on it and them not slide off. The sealant got wet over time and lost its adhesiveness. The sealant is still stuck to the wood, but not the plastic on the tank.

Good luck @tench0771, I think you'll need it :thumbsup:

 

[cheapncheerful]

crafty bugg er tuffers hedging your bets....if it doesnt leak....it may leak in the future ....so you were right..:rofl:

drifting slightly off topic whilst gav is away.....anyone found a no mold sealant for my bathroom that will actually not go moldy....ten year guarantee my ar se.....:rofl:

 

[tench0771]

out side of tank is now finished its allmost dry bit squegy on the ficker parts i recken it will b fine once its hardened the under sill goes rock hard once dryed proply think ill fit it saturday aftoon

 

[Tuffers]

^^ changed my vote /emoticons/smile.png

 

[tench0771]

haha the the inside is even ficker coat tuffers if it does fale ill use a hot glue gun on it but i think it wont leak im confadent so far the other adventege is is that the under siled patch is at the top of the tank so not mch pressure on it i wont fill to the top that often probly 4 o 5 times over my 8 week round fingers crossed:specs
