Hello!

[DavesTanks]

I am going to be building/resealing a couple of tanks i have. Building a 20-25 gallon long and 2 20's. I screwed up and it went from 85-90degrees to 60 -70 degrees. Im using rtv 108 clear for my seal. My question is will the rtv cure at these temps 60-70? Ive had more luck asking marine guys than freshwater guys on my tank diy,so i thought i ask here. OBTW im in northwest georgia Thanks!

First, welcome to R2R! Here is a tech data sheet for that product that says "Higher temperatures and humidity will accelerate the cure process low temperatures and low humidity will slow the cure rate." Although it doesn't give exact temperatures, based on my experience you should be fine in the 60s.

It just takes longer. I think most tank makers say wait 3 weeks no matter what. And of course you could put a little heater near it.
