The kind of RTV sold in pet stores for making or patching glass
aquariums is free of acetic acid. Fish are extremely sensitive to
strange chemicals in their water and this RTV is very benign. This
type sticks extremely well to glass and should bond well to any
surface hams are likely to want to use it on.
