Soothing Shrimp Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Besides viagra, I need ideas on how to make 3D nets stiff again. I have a couple that I have used for a long period of time, but they collapse now. At the cost of $15 per net, anyone have any ideas how to make the net stiff again?

countryboy12484 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Starch? Dont know if its safe to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys. Unless I take the net off and try making it from toole or something, I'm lost too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I was going suggest starch also. But i never really used it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquasapien69 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Starch should be water soluble, so I doubt that would work. How about some super glue on the right places on the net? It will dry stiff and is aquarium safe. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquasapien69 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I like the epoxy idea. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I would try lining the bottom with some stiff wireing and then have 4 poles going to the top rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 LOL Well, at least you are brain storming shrimprus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well, I finally got around to trying something to make the net stiff again since I bought 2 new ones and figured if my experiment didn't work- no biggie. Super glue for me did the trick. Yeah, it doesn't look that aesthetically pleasing, but I need it for practical purposes and don't display my equipment. californiashrimp, aquariumlover10, Pika and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
