Sealing a leak

Got a 125 cheap, it had a known leak in one corner only, I am going to reseal the entire bottom all the way around. Ive done it a few times, no problems on how...
The sides are looking perfect though, nice factory bead and it is still flexible and in tacted -

Should I worry about redoing the sides? The bottom definately I am going to do all the way around....

 

I would just to make sure that you do not have an air pocket between the old and new silicone.

 

+1 Also new silicone will not adhere to old silicone. Most repairs I have seen were the whole tank was not done (removal of all old silicone) did not go well. I would be terrified to stand anywhere near a tank that was "repaired" in this manner.

 

Points taken, I will do go ahead and do the sides and bottom so I have one continous seam

Thanks!

Good Luck!!!8)

 

Ive done a few and never had them leak, I forgot about the old and new wont bond... and that is most likely why the tank was leaking in first place - you should see the 1 inch wide bead on the bottom lol.... thier ignorance was my gain.
