Background Not Staying Put!

[andimav]

Hi all,
Might sound liker a silly question but HOW do you keep the background on the back of the tank?

I used soapy water and a credit card, (like tinting car windows) but it has gone abit funny in places and is obviously not sticking properly.

Is there something else i can use?

i use celler tape it works quite well just leaves marks on the side where the celler tape has been but it washes off easy

I tried that but the background looks very dark and is hardly noticable, i just noticed someone has said vaseline so i will try that, and see how it goes.

Thanx

Yeah, people rave about vaseline for backgrounds. I just painted mine

i cant find a plain black backy for my tank tho, so im making do with black suggar paper what is actually very good (wih sticky tape not vas)

i think people rave about it because its, cheap effective and comes of very easily

I just use a few smears of clear silicone on the outer edges of the background sheet.
