kingmatherz Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hey guys, had a few cracks in a tank I got, had some glass sealant that was for tanks, used it, but how long does it take to dry? I thought 24 hours but its been like 5 days and it still feels sticky when i touch it. nothing comes off it just feels a little sticky. any ideas? i wanna set the tank up but dont want something wrong to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 did you patch the crack? what silicone did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Should be able to touch it without it being sticky after an hour or so.. Im with Zayne what silicone did you use? And what temp has it been kept in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 also is it patched , or just smeared on the cracks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 it may just be the feel of fresh/new silicone, if it doesn't actually stick to your finger when you press hard on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingmatherz Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 yea it does not actually stick to my finger it just feels sticky i guess, i danno what u mean did i patch it? i just cleaned the tank, waited for it to dry then smeared the stuff on it basically... danno what brand it was but it had been used for tanks b4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 What we mean by patching is getting a piece of class and siliconing it over the crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
