for that accelerator your suppose to spray it AFTER sticking peaces together or spray it to the peace you didn't put glue on so it causes an instant lock

Great video. Will you have a video showing specifics about the floating shelf? You briefly went over it, which was awesome. A longer video focusing just on the shelf would be great.
Vivid Aquariums
Vivid Aquariums - 8 years ago
Unfortunately, we didn't think of doing that so we didn't get any video footage of acrylic shelf being put together. We could post the few pictures we took in Facebook though.
