RE: Metal Frame Tanks



I agree, on the silicone to the slate, it is pretty worthless.  You can
really slap it on and it still won't make a difference, just wasting time
from what I've tried, i have probablly 30 of those tanks, and have a few
that need fixed of leaks.  Also wondering if you can find the old stuff and
where.

Not sure you can get it, but you can buy black silicone to match
