I spent a good few hours on Sunday cleaning up the silicone joints on the shallow ahead of a new scape.
I'm pleased with the ADA Cube Garden-esk finish, and the remaining joints look solid, so I've gone right ahead with the water test.
However, I'm still a bit nervous since I've removed all the excess silicone...
Do I need to worry?
So far so good, but do silicone seals fail catastrophically or if it's going to fail will it just spring a leak and give me time to bail before my study floor becomes inundated?
And how long should I leave the water in, so I know it's OK?
