I ordered a gallon to test on my 4300 gallon. It should be in next week. It's going to take 15 gallons to do the tank...

Awesome! Looks like a few of us will be putting this stuff to the test then!

FWIW: Im just doing pics/layers right now, no point in starting a thread yet. All the layers went on really good and it appears to be sticking no problem to everything so far, including glass, acrylic, and krylon fusion spraypaint.

Cheers,

Chris

I have been ordering Zavlar at local HomeHardware, its not in their catalog or online database, but if they contact their central warehouse, they will have it.
I've ordered 2 gallons and used to experiment with, painted the floor drain in my garage (paint always came off the metal and then it got rusty) First coat I used a foam roller, and other coats I liked a brush better. Did 4 coats, 3 sides were 8ftx1ft, 2-1ftx1ft ends, and 2sides on 8ftx1ft top cover Don't think will have any more rust trouble, this stuff sticks bigtime, is flexible no chippping.
Also took piece of scrap 3/4" plywood two brush strokes of zavlar laid piece of 3/16 plexiglass 2" onto plywood and then a couple of brush strokes of zavlar over the 2". When dry I tried to pull it apart, it wouldn't breakfree, very edge would lift but would suck right back down as soon as I removed my shoulder pressure, try a couple of days latter and same thing.
When I build a tank will be putting ledge under an beside window, 3 coats zavlar, drop window in, and then 3 more coats, no silicone.

Good info and nice first post.

But the name makes you sound like a calendar.

About 5 gallons. My tank is almost 300 sq ft of surface area and they recommended 15 gallons. Yours is about 100 sq ft of surface area.

bottom = 8x3 = 24
back = 8x4 = 32
sides = 3x4 = 12 x 2 = 24
front = unknown since I don't know the size of your viewing window.

So has anyone actually used the Permadri product in a build yet?

What do Ronseal call it? I have just been through 240 Ronseal products on the b&q website and there are no liquid rubber products.
