glass tank building

[superduperwesman]

I'm confused you can't orientate the pieces so that there is no gaps... even if it means having glass overhang on the back of the overflow box???

no, oklet me try explaine.

I got the bottom of the overglow box 12" x 4" with 3 holes drilled in to it.
I got the sides of the overflow 4" x 5" (so two of thoes)
and I got the back of the oveflow 12" x 5"

so the bottom and sides were going to get put togeather and the back would cover the egde of thoes.

what happened is they made the bottom only 3 and 7/8" so along the back there would be a 1/8th gap.

I could take them back and ask them to sand the sides to the same width but I am wondering if it is worth it or not.

I might be able to do that, I'll take a look at the chunks and see if that works. guess I had my head wraped around one design.

I dont at all think a 1/8" gap would be a problem, there is next to no water pressure in an overflow box... I am a Glazier by trade, so I would be comfortable in doing it....

1/8 gap is a little on the thick side but shold be fine as long as you don't have air pockets in the silicone.
