So are you implying that other manufacturers who make tanks without bubbles in the silicone are either a) not using silicone or b) not squeezing it out of the tube? I'm confused.

The few times I've built overflow boxes for my tanks with silicone and glass I haven't had any air bubbles. Of course I was very careful and took my time preparing the glass edges, cleaning the glass, applying a nice even bead of silicone, and very carefully placing each piece of glass. Would it be out of the question to suggest it probably has more to do with attention to detail and not inherent problems with the product?
