    Default might be daft but...

    following on from my previous 2 threads

    i decided to go with mr tee's internal overflow design (the triangular one)
    now its all sitting curing nicely along with my tank connector in my now drilled tank

    but after looking and looking and looking iv started scratchin my head and need ur help for a solution

    ive done the triangular internal design BUT.. how on earth am i going to be able to support it while it sets and the silicone dries bear in mind the tank is full and been drained down about a quater or so for this work to be done:confused:

    duct tape, sellotape, insulation tape, suckers and cable ties. i would do a "copy" of the overflow in cardboard, slightly larger so it encloses the overflow and use one of the tapes to attach. all this late night diy is very stressful but enjoyable with a beer.:D:D:D hope your gonna post some pics also....
