Default Leakproofing an aero tub??? Any tips?

I know this sounds like a simple question. Unfortunately for me it's not! I have tried everything but I still see drips constantly. I have used the cheapest weather stripping to the most expensive, nothing! I have spent over $50 on clamps, nothing! It helped but still I see drips. Any tips are highly appreciated!

I'm assuming that you're in a rubermaid tub. Try this...get some clear silicone. Run a good size bead on the top lip of the tub itself. On the lid rub a little vasoline(not much at all as I'm not sure if a petrolium product will react with silicone) where the two will touch. Then set the lid on top, with a little pressure. Let it cure and then you should be able to pull the lid off because of the vasoline...and it should create a solid seal. Hope this helps....there has got to be something besides vasoline that will do the same..I just can't think of it.

Great Idea, what's wrong with vasoline? I guess it could get messy, but it wont mix with the water. I was also thinking of a type of wax that could be used. I just have no idea where I would find the type I'm looking for... Thanks a lot for the help!

Default I've tried everything, Here's your fix...

Go to the builders supply store and buy Pemko Home/Auto/Boat weatherstrip in 1/4" wide and 1/8" thick size. It is closed cell PVC soft foam tape.

1) Sand the top of the container. I use a small drum sander attached to a drill.

2) Run the tape around the top using one large piece. It's easier to run the tape if you take the white paper liner off first. The paper liner keeps the tape from sticking to itself on the roll. Make sure you push down on the tape to seat it well.

3) Run a bead of clear aquarium silicone around both sides of the tape and use your finger to fillet it in. Use the excess silicone on your finger to coat the top of the tape.

Let it dry and your done. No more leaks.

Pressing down on the lid too hard will make it leak. Only press down hard enough till you hear it snap/lock in place.

Hopes this help you!

I agree with stinkbud. BUT if you get the same tote as me then there is no need to leak proof. I dod not know why but neither of my rubber maid totes leak and I did no leak proofing so far. I have had not running for hours straight and no leaks YET.

Don't get those totes...they are clear...no good. You need to block out the light so you don't grow crap in the res. You could use them if you black them out though.

I totally agree with that but after you black them out hit em with white it helps reflect heat a little
