Rajivji, please explain, I didn't understand in which manner tape has to be adhered to remove excess silicon later
Suppose you are using a 8 mm glass to make the aquarium. Now the tape should be fixed more than 8 mm away from the edge of the glass. Check the photograph and look up the edges of glass.


Ok Got it, Thanks a lot

as usual silly doubt
if 8mm glass edge lies on other glass phase, then how will you apply silicon because only tape will be there after 8mm.
So you mean 16mm on one side and 8mm on other? I ask so becase I read something like this and made a beautiful mistake :mrgreen:
