75 gallon seal repair

Hi guys. Need some help on some curled up seal inside the corners of my "new" tank. I have filled it up with water to the tip top and left if for several days and no leaks. BUT the seals are curled at the edges and are easily peeled off. Question is how to fix? Should I trim off all the excess/loose stuff and reapply the new sealant? What is the best way to ensure no leaks AND making it look decent? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'll see if I can add a photo...ya'll know how challenged I am. Thanks.



All corners look about the same. Suggestions? It has been suggested I clean it up real good and super glue all the edges down that are loose. Comments?

I dont know what I'm looking at, Judge. Are you talking about the silicon around the inside of tanks? I dont think super glue is a good idea though.

oops, this was rather old topic, I figure you fixed it my now.

Yeppers, she's all done! I used the gel superglue. Seems to have worked just fine. It was not leaking or anything but I did not want it to continue to peel away from the corner seam in the glass...make sense? Thanks Orb
