Default curing silicone sealant fumes harmfull to fish?

How does it make you feel when you're slandering people? People like old
grannies who keep fish and disabled veterans who served their country so net
stalkers like you can attack and degrade them? Get back to the VA where
they can help you feel good about yourself again in a positive way, not a
destructive way where you have to harm people to get gratification and
satisfaction with your life.

The fumes or smell may be objectionable to you , but its ot gonna do
anyhtng to a tank that is nearby........The smell you smell is no
more than what would be found in a big vat of pickles or
juice.......its acetic acid not harmfull as much as it is
objectionable, and to the tank, not a concern.....Of course moving
tank out of room etc would be better but not a necessity..

Even with a tarp over it, you'll still let the accumulated fumes /
smell out when you remove the tarp, but you would only smell it short
time not the entire duratin of cure.....You could also cover over the
top with a piece of plastic sheeting or large plastic bags and
masking tape to keep in the smell until its fully cured.

My reward is the knowledge that you are condemned to go through life
being yourself. I can't think of any retribution or punishment for your
inane
trolling that would be worse then that. And if you must hit us with these
clever witty troll notes try learning how to get past 2nd grade grammar. It
will make "yu" so much more respectable.


Unfortuneately uyou replied to the trollpretending to be me.....I use
motzarella not a bellsouth account which is no one other than Carol
Gulley. So, with that out of the way resealing the tank is not all
that hard of a job as it is labor intense in cleaning it up to the
point you feel good that new silicone will adhere. That means cutting
out all internal silicone seals and fillets on all four sides and
bottom panel. No way around it. You can do it now and do it right or
do it again later if yiuy do not renew all internal silicone. Silicone
does not stick well at all to old silicone even silicone just cured is
not a good base to try and stick new silicone to.

Anyway use a new single edge razor blade and cut all internally
applied silicone out of tank, then use anothe rblade and scrape the
areas very well, I usually go over these cleaned areas two or three
times with a good razor blade.

Yep sealing the top is the best way to go.

If you don't, it will be too strong for you to
stand, and at this hight potentcy would not be good
for the tank. A small amount in the air that would
not bother you would not likely bother the tank, but
if you can't stand it, it would not be good to
expose it to the tank. You can cover it, and then at
least 24 hours later, tank the tank outside, and
open it up to degas. Just don't stick your head in
the tank right after you take the top off.:-) hehehe.
