well fixing it looked like crap, so off it goes! 4 corners are off already. Its easier, just messier. Still wet silicone in some of the spots where its stupidly thick. Its still a little damp outside so will wait until it dries up later so I can tip the tank and crawl inside to do the bottom.

Like all artforms.. I did my best, the last time, when the GF had the kids out somewhere and i could relax, prep, tape, and caulk in my own time without outside influence. whats the worst that could go wrong? You don't like the result and have to redo it? I figured it was practice as it was a small tank<40b> and i have tinkered with the idea of building a bigger tank at some point.

just take your time.. make sure you get all the new old silicone off, clean it again with acetone or whatever you are using to clean it and try again.
