Aquarium Bar build

[danny zubot]

Just finished the first phase of skinning the bar. I now have to remove all of the panels so that I can seal and paint them. I also have to re-level the whole thing a bit since the kids have adopted the bar as their new jungle gym.

Once I've re-installed the panels I'll have a bunch of taping and mudding to do. Booooo!

Taping and mudding? your using drywall mud?
on MDF you might be better off to use bondo....others my disagree with me but thats what I've always used (then tape isn't necessary)

Bondo? What about for the outside corner beads? My goal was to try to make the bar blend into and resemble the walls around it, that's why all of the extra work. Man I hate this part.

How goes the painting? Getting any closer to getting your tank moved over?

I've managed to finally find time to finish mudding, taping and putting a coat of primer on everything. What does everyone think of the color? It's only primer so if the wife doesn't agree with it I can easily change it.

Go with it. It's a great colour.
