PEMs Freshwater Planted 65G build - Page 19

Pics have bad color. It looks like I did a real bad job staining it but its just that I didn't use enough wood conditioner. I will have to see if another coat helps.

Paul it looks GREAT! you should be VERY proud of your work buddy

PEMfish · 04-14-2009, 11:56 PM

Thanks

Stand turned out nice, I like the color.

It looks great Paul! Once you put the clear coat on the stain the color will change. Do a test sample before you try staining again.

Those intake things I built have the wrong size reducing bushing. I have no use for them. They will accept 1/2" PVC pipe and are painted with krylon fusion satin black. They measure 3.25" tall. Cost me about $6 to build both of them. Free to anyone who will pay shipping from 60174.

PVC intake offer expired.

I got another coat of stain on. I also got the top painted white and the first coat of white on in most the of the interior.

I wish I would have painted the inside of my stand. Next time

PEMfish · 04-28-2009, 05:19 PM

I'm liking it already, its not too late for you.

PEMfish · 05-05-2009, 04:57 PM

Got some work done on the stand and hood. Stand is real close now.

BigAl07 · 05-06-2009, 02:47 AM

Yeah it's WAY to late for this stand! I'm already "moved in".

So where are we now on yours? what's next?

and where's the pics

Jeremy0322 · 05-06-2009, 03:07 AM

Stand is looking good. Yes, this is a useless post pretty much, but with it comes me having I think the top 20 newest posts, which looks awesome on my "home" screen

PEMfish · 05-13-2009, 09:35 AM

Wish I had more to say. I can post a pic but not much has changed. Its going to come home soon. I cant get over there this week but hope to soon after. I just need to put one more coat of poly and paint the inside white. I wont be able to fill it right away though, the floor still needs wrok. I hope I can get it ready before it comes home. the hood is a good ways done too.

BigAl07 · 05-13-2009, 09:24 PM

Any progress is a GOOD thing!!

Thanks for the update and we'll be watching for more soon
