Is this reefsafe?

Recommended Posts

I'm wanting to put a little patch on my overflow, using some of that clear plastic stuff that is used for laminating paper. Is it reefsafe?

I'm hoping to use this material, because I need something paper thin, and stiff. I have some of this laminating stuff, which will be perfect, provided it is safe. Anyone know?

Hey wasp, there is a difference between understanding something, and just regurgitating what some one else has said ;-) I try to understand stuff.

Anyway, what sort of laminate is it? Heat or pressure sensitive?

The heat sensitive ones are usually just PVC. The PSA laminates could have other stuff which may not be so good, but i think it depends on the manufacturer.

i was actually serious :D he seems to know this stuff well

I was serious too.

Long as what he tells me is not "just regurgitating what someone else has said", when we don't know who that someone is. That's what led to that whole silly pH swing debacle when it took me several pages to run him through the facts.

It's heat treated Layton.

Anyhow thanks all, turns out I won't be using that stuff anyway, I've found some plastic container lids that slice up to exactly what I want & I know they will be inert.

You know I was just asking a question in that thread. If you actually knew what was really going on, rather than just regurgitating what someone else has told you, you would have had no problem showing me WHY that information was wrong, and you wouldn't have made it into such a big deal.

But as you could not do that, you obviously do not fully understand why it is that way. You just know it is because someone else said it's that way. What happens when you get conflicting information? Do you pick the one that sounds best to you? Or do you dig deeper and find out which one is actually correct? I was doing the latter.

Turns out that you did not "run me through the facts" because you didn't really understand what was going on, I asked Randy some questions, and he pointed me to a small mistake, which now explains everything. It's called learning.

Thread locked to avoid further confrontations.
