where are you from in indiana?Well after a little research I found there are two parts to the sanitred one part is 100 the other is 85 and I'm not sure if that is plus shipping or not
A question was asked about the rubbers feel on my other thread, and i felt it was also relevent to this thread, so i will also add the answer here....
It didnt change in texture or feel once submerged that i can tell, which is a good sign. I wouldnt say it is spongy, but its not hard like a plastic either. Between the two, i would say it is closer to a hockey puck, with some give. like silicone, but slightly harder. once cured it still reamins tacky for a while, but losses that within a week or so. Im not sure if it means its still cureing or not.
I did a test with this stuff befor the build started for a few reasons. One was to check if it would change colour once submerged like liguid rubber states. It didnt during the test of a couple of days, but now that it has been in the tank for a few days, it is starting to turn brown. i dont mind it at all, in fact, i think it looks great. Since i put mine one with a normal brush for one coat and left horrible looking brush strokes(or so i thought) and with the rubber turning a bit brown, it almost looks like tree back now. So i think it actually now looks like a nice background.

How brown does it turn? Any pictures I am really wanting a black backround and I hear krylon fusion is fish safe after it cures
Try Pond armor http://www.pondarmor.com/ if you want it black!! Yeah the guys a permadri said it would turn brown after a few days submerged... But he told me it would be almost as dark as "DARK CHOCOLATE" on a candy bar... It that true? Joey what do you think?AndrewMack;3149732; said:
