Product Details:
Excellent Primerless Adhesion to Glass for a
Waterproof Seal
Harmless to Fish When Fully Cured
Aquarium Silicone Sealant has been specifically
formulated for the fabrication of fresh water aquariums and salt
water aquariums.
Aquarium Silicone Sealant is a
medium modulus, one component, acetic cure silicone recommended
specifically for the fabrication and repair of fresh or salt water
aquariums. It forms a tough waterproof seal that won't crack or
shrink, and is non-toxic to fish when fully cured after 7 to 14
days. Cure time depends on bead size and cure conditions. The
vinegar-like odor present during application is acetic acid and
will disappear as material cures.

How to Apply Clear Aquarium Silicone Sealant:
1. Surfaces to be sealed must be PERFECTLY CLEAN before
applying sealant. Contaminants on glass surface will affect bond
and may lead to leaks or total failure. Resealed aquariums or
reusing of glass panels may present adhesion problems if extreme
care isn't followed to clean glass.
2. Apply between glass edges and as a fillet
bead,1/4 inch (6.35 millimeters) minimum, to gain maximum bond
strength and structural integrity.
3. Maintain a permanent structural frame around
the edges of tanks larger than 30 gallons to ensure integrity of
tank and seals.
4. Make certain all of the sealant is FULLY CURED
before filling the tank, otherwise damage to structural integrity
or injury to fish is possible. Normal sealant cure will be 7-14
days depending on bead size and cure conditions (hot and humid is
best). For unsupported tanks (30 gallons or less) the glass must be
supported by mechanical means until the sealant has fully
cured.
5. After sealant has cured rinse with warm water
and refill, then check pH twice during the next 24 hours before
stocking with fish.
Important Note:
LIMITATIONS: Aquarium tanks larger than 30 gallons (113.5 liters)
in size require a permanent structural frame around the edges to
ensure the integrity of the tank and seals. For unsupported tanks
of 30 gallons (113.5 liters) or less, the glass must be supported
by mechanical means until the sealant has fully cured. Make certain
that all of the sealant is fully cured before filling tank with
water, otherwise damage to the structural integrity, or injury to
the fish is possible.
