John-Solo November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 My friend n I are building a protein skimmer and we need to silicone a few parts. Are there any products at Home Depot I can use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WheresTheReef November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 I have used the GE Silicone I All Purpose from HD. Silicone II will have a mold inhibitor on the label that you don't want. Not sure what skimmer parts you're building, but if acrylic then you likely want an acrylic weld and not silicone.
John-Solo November 8, 2015 Author November 8, 2015 It's not the nicest looking skimmer but people that have built it say it works pretty well. And if it's in the cabinet who care how it looks. http://krob.com/page2/page19/page19.html we ended up just using JB weld on the bottom feed pipe and sealing the collection chamber to the mail cylinder. No leaks so far! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
