Regular Member BronwynH Posted March 31, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello all! I have found a used 60g tank and stand for $75. The big problem is that the tank leaks at the seams. Has anyone resealed a tank before? How difficult is it? What equipment or supplies would I need to do this? I have never done anything remotely like this before and am wondering if it's worth the savings. Here's the ad in case anyone is interested: http://kingston.kijiji.ca/c-pets-accessories-60-Gallon-Terrarium-Aquarium-W0QQAdIdZ578994472 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted March 31, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's definitely possible to reseal the tank, especially if you are DIY-minded and handy. I think the big thing is that you need something to completely scrape off the old sealants, and then apply a new coating. I think costs wise, it's cheapish, but the work is not little. This was the video I saw a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BronwynH Posted March 31, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks for this info! I'll watch through the video in full tomorrow and see if I feel up to it. I'm perfectly willing to put work into it and do diy things, but most of my experience is with things I worked on with my Dad (deck in the backyard, swing set, dog house, bookshelf, fencing etc.). I've done very few construction (or other non-crafty) projects on my own and most of those have been either minor plumbing or very basic wood construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
