It is almost best some times to build a new stand some times with all the work sanding and refinishing. Make sure you have a good brush and that will help with a smooth finish. I have also used a brush to apply the finish and the foam brush to smooth the finish. You have to find a good foam brushIt;s going well but taking longer than I anticipated. I've never re-worked a wood anything let alone a stand for my dream tank. I sanded the whole thing by hand, removed all hardware, and have applied the first coat of oil based primer. This weekend I will sand the primer and apply the first coat of white paint to the inside of the stand. I'm going to mix a small amount of paint thinner in with the white paint so I can achieve a really smooth coat. hopefully only 2 coats will be needed. Next comes the black exterior. After the stand, the rest of the build will be fairly easy, plumbing and scape build.
My living room feels empty without a reef tank in there.
THAT is going to be an impressive tank. Is it an old Oceanic?Here's a pic
