Hey! Congratulations Khandurian! And thanks for posting that link here. Maybe people see yet another example that it can be done!

It's a pretty good feeling when you get it right, don't you think! Job well done.

I'm amused by your difficulty with the bubbles in the seams. I had the same trouble. But I think I figured that out... think it has to do with the speed at which you squeeze out the silicone (fast is good), pushing out a wide bead (as opposed to swaying back and forth to make it artificially thick - needs do come out thick) and slowly tipping the glass up onto a side (not pressing is straight on). But I'm not sure. Just like yourself, as I went along my seams got much better.

Thanks for sharing. Tank looks great!
