The ReefBox Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Looks good bro, just use a belt sander on the ends of a little to high. I sanded everything else with a 5" orbital sander 80 120 and 180 grit. Seal it with kilz or any other sealer then couple coats of paint. I prefer to spray it with finish tip to get nice flat furniture quality finish but brushing with right paint and brush can get you close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to spray it with finish tip to get nice flat furniture quality finish but brushing with right paint and brush can get you close Seal first then paint? Also is it normal to have any gaps? And how to fill them? Just wood filler? Make sure it's all smooth of course. And thanks for the tip about spraying, however no spray gun for me so a smooth brush and or a superfine roller was suggested. Now that it's all together I will take my sweet time finishing this stand it's got to look good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 As far as gaps go, I usually just use painters caulk. Yes seal it before painting will make wood much more stable to saltwater. Lastly sand to 180 grit before painting and it will look good and use wood filler or spackle for minor imperfections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cor4eyh Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Always something new, my sump broke today while moving it. Shiza! Anyone have an extra sump with dimensions similar or smaller than 18x31inches? The $1 gallon sale is going on, but I don't know how to make a simp out of a tank, never done it before!
