Turn Your Old CRT Computer Monitor Into A Fish Tank ! ! !

Step 7 Attaching plastic to glass.

After many test fits, I went ahead and mixed up a batch of two part multipurpose epoxy, spread it on the front edges of the plastic tank, as well as on the glass front, and then maneuvered the tank into place. I then put a few pieces of scrap wood inside to push against the plastic in order to bow the edges. This effectively curved the edges out to the edges of the monitor and then let it cure. While the epoxy was setting up I added some hot glue around the outside of the tank in an effort to fill gaps and to create a better fit.

so the original glass face is not used?

No, the original glass face IS used. Then a plexi-glass housing is constructed and glued to it. :)
