well I just got 12 more tanks lol and need tips for them. that's 2 down 10 to go lol.

Bert I have a question for you or Amber or Freddy or Dave etc.... lol. Ocd from IBTank sent me a .... load of extra glass tubes he had that he couldn't sell because I wanted to either paint them or try to decorate them and use the throw aways as practice. Any Advice?

Give them a quick sandblast with a fine grit and then use oil paint on them to create a stunning effect. The whole thing can be sealed in with a spray adhesive.

I don't know of any paint that will stick to glass? Can you sandblast them? If you had a kiln you could decal them.

The end result of sandblasting/oil painting/sealing...

Parts of the glass can be masked with special tape or stencils when you sandblast it so that the paint won't stick...

 

[Tjloa]

Ok I must be blond cause now im even more confused lol

 

[willowize]

Ok who snagged this?

Not me, , I liked that one too!

One of my aw imrs ruptured in my purse. If I throw it in the trash is it going to set my house on fire? Didn't explode or catch fire, just swelled and busted open.

 

[bert1983]

Yikes Amber! I'm not sure, but I think I would leave it outside in an empty metal garbage can set as far away from anything as possible for the night if I was you

 

[AmberB]

Don't have a metal garbage can. The city issues plastic ones we have to use...
