Hey folks,
I’m making an Expanding foam background for my tank, and wanting to coat the back in caulk 100% silicone instead of epoxy.
Silicone is much, much cheaper and more flexible than the epoxy would be, and I have 8 sqft of background to make.
I’ve seen people use Mineral Spirits to thin GE silicone 1 to a paint-like consistency.
However I’m concerned about the mineral spirits leeching anything into the tank. I have months to cure the tank.
I was wondering if anyone has tried it, or knows if mineral spirits will leech.
Thanks,
