flame polished + painted

Flush routed the ends, wetsanded them, then flame polished with MAPP. I previously used the micromesh series on my last tank and while it made perfect edges, it took quite a while. This tank will have almost all the seams concealed so flame polishing was the logical choice.

Second task was to spray 4 coats of black paint on the back panel. After unwrapping the masking last night the finished product looks great.

Next up will be to post 3 pictures of the tank:
  1. Model of tank design.
  2. Mid-fabrication picture.
  3. Final product.
