Plastidip?

Is anyone using plastidip in their tanks?

Is it safe?

I've used it with no fowl effects. It's pretty cool stuff.

what in your tank would you use it on though?

I was specifically thinking about magnets. I could take any inexpensive magnet and dip it to seal the metals. Then I can use them to superglue my MaxiJet mod.

good idea if you ask me. let me know how it goes.

I used it on a lead weight to hold down airstones in my skimmer. I dipped quite a few times, and there were never any signs of deterioration over the course of a year. I think it would work well with the magnets.

Good to know. I may have to look into this more. I recently bought some epoxy covered magents. The problem is that the epoxy is so delicate that I chipped it the first day. A plastic coating over the epoxy would add more flexibility and durability to a good magnet. Using this on an uncoated magnet would save money because the epoxy coated magnets are quite pricey.
