random-cichlid Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 just make sure you give it a good 48 hours to cure as most silicones gas out ammonia and other toxic chemicals when curing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 It works but is very poor in strenght Yep very poor in strength - tried it and even found just picking up the item the weight of it made it just fall apart. Try roughing the surface and just do a test run as I have a feeling you will be disappointed. You might also want to shoot Nev, Blackraven a PM - I remember him making some frysavers a little while ago out of perspex and ask what he used.
