Had a similar problem with the silicon at first.. Try using masking tape like we did in this thread...

Also, if you didn't alreay know, apply the silicon to the corner joints, not too much. Wet you finger with some water, and run it along where you put the silicon (while its still wet). This helps get the silicon into the corner nicely, without it sticking to your fingers. Edit: which i see Angel mentions in that thread

The masking tape is a good idea to stop it speading to areas it doesn't belong. Will remeber that next time I fiddle with tanks

thank for the tips

it might look a bit rough (not that bad really!) but i love the tank concept!!!!
awesome. soon we will pay you to make our tanks

lol @rozanne i wish...

It's always easy to look at a tank and think "It's so easy. Why not make one myself" but anyone who's tried this will know that once you're there doing it, it's not quite as simple. I remember I got silicone everywhere when I first tried working with it. I picked up the tips as I went along. My first projects were disasters!!

I think it's an awesome tank, mist! And it's your very own design, which makes it special. Well done! I hope you make more.
