	backround
fishnewbie Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004	I am trying to put up my backround on my 90 gallon tank using vegetable oil. What is the best way to get the bubbles off? We are trying to use credit cards but, it's not working too well. Thanks in advance.

Using a straight edge, ruler, squeegee, credit card ( ) smooth all the bubbles out. The background will look like it's part of the tank, will stay on without tape, glue, duct tape, old gum, silly putty, ect and look really really good . ^_^ [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it[/font]
