I am taking issue:

Sounds like BD is not the leader on quality anymore. If he truly ever was.

Exactly what type of sealant, Joe?

what we used would probably be a little too thick. You might want to try a resin that you can get at a hobby store. The kind they would coat a table with, that should be able it withstand the water.

i agree with CB on this. though joe sounds like he has had some luck remember goldfish are some hardy fish. they are the ones that lives in small bowls at the carnival where i am sure they get expsoeed to more chemical than some thrid world countries

I'll experiment with a few things and see how it goes. Thanks for your feedback everyone, even the stupid comments.

Yeah, but because they are "goldfish", they keep trying it. Right? LOL

Seriously, we have discussed some kind of clear coat, anything you can recommend, or where to buy it.?
