How long does silicone take to dry on the structured jewel backgrounds.

I plane on glueing the background on midday saturday and would like to refill the tank sunday late afternoon. how does that sound

Thanks

Best to glue them on the outside of the tank.

will be fine, it's not holding any pressure so no need to let it cure properly.

to give it a helping hand though make the room hot or put a lamp near it. becarefuly when do this though, too much heat from the lamp then a sudden change in temp will crack it.

Jewel Structured backgrounds are exactly what they say they are so glueing them to the outside would be waste of 8 quid per sheet!.

cheers Paul the room is pretty hot.

would be hard to glue them to the outside as the are not and even surface.

Fish keepers like to glue them on the outside or even tape them, as it dosn't ruin them in the water.

Sorry but Wilder do you know what these are? they specially designed to go on the inside, it's not a picture background, it's a lump of moulded plastic to make a atractive back drop.

to be honest it would look pants on the out side as it wouldn't give the required "depth" to the back ground

 

[WILDER]

Sorry i didn't no it was moulded.

guess we were talking about different products lol

the ones are mean are moulded with ridges to give a depth to the back ground
