![]() You must remove the old silicon before resealing it.
It's a patch and not a fix otherwise. Silicon does not seal well over old silicon. Leave the silicon between the pane, but all surface silicon should be removed. Take your time and do it properly and you should be home free! Good luck.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() Most household silicones now contain an antifungal additive. Personelly, I don't take the risk and purchase silicone that is rated for aquarium use. I feel it's better to pay the extra then find out the hard way it wasn't safe.

![]() Don't use GE II apparently the formula has changed & it's not safe. I would also recommend GE SCS 1200 but if you can't find that I know Home Hardware has there own brand that states aquarium safe right on the front of the tube.
