Dixon1990 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I had to reseal a small tank that had a small leak but in the process got some sealant on the front and back pieces of glass. How do i remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishandchips Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have used a razor blade to get the bulk off then used turps to get the residue off. A rough cloth helps to. make sure you clean properly after cos fish don't like turps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Would i just clean the turps of with water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishandchips Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 it will evaporate. then just give it a swipe with mild soapy water then rinse. My fish didn't seem to mind when i did it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wash it untill you cant smell turps in it anymore, then let it dry for a day or so, any last residue will evaporate. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 no need for the turps, a good blade will get it all off. Damp cloth works to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
