The message
from "Bob Hobden" contains these words:

All fish tanks are stuck together with silicone glue these days

without any
support or bracing of any kind, just glass and glue, and they last

a very
long time despite the constant pressure from the water trying to

push
it all
apart. The only thing is, it must all be bone dry before gluing.


I think the tube of silicone glue I have downstairs guarantees the

bond
for ten years.

In ideal dry conditions when applied with very clean components I'm
sure it'd be fine. Applied to a wet flapping greenhouse where the
extrusions probably have silicone oils on from the manufacturing
process it may be less certain
