aotealotl Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 hello, I need to fix one glass tank, one of the glass stripes which holds the glass lids in place came off and I have to glue it back on but the question is what silicone or glue available in NZ I have to use. the edge of the glass stripe has to be glued on the flat side glass and when done and cured there will be weight on the glass stripe. so I need something strong, not flexible for glass, not easy...

alanmin4304 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 What is normally used is any silicone that has suitable for aquarium use on the label (contains no antifungals). I use Sellys---it is usually the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sika Sikasil RTV Glass (Clear) 300ml should be about $10-$15 at your local ITM. You need to specify "No Mould inhibitor" as there is only one product in this range without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 this is the one Alan means, http://www.selleys.co.nz/sealants/silicone/glass/ you can also get it in a small tube may be better for a small one off job, sometimes the warehouse has it , but bunnings , mitre 10 etc will definitely have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
