Can't see back on aqauraium

This is a trick I used playing hockey and also when doing car window tint which also works on fish tanks backgrounds. Just mix some baby shampoo like johnsons a cap full too two cups water in a spray bottle. Spray this on back of tank apply background and squegee. This also works to prevent fogging on mirrors or hockey visors lol very well, just spray on then wipe leaving slight film to dry.

Cool tip - thanks!

Just sprinkle some tank water on the background, spread the water so that the whole background is wet. Stick it to the back of the tank squeeze out the air bubbles. after it dries it would be stuck to the tank. After it dries secure the edge with tape.

I've tried that and had no luck for whatever reason. I experimented using PAM cooking spray since it is food safe and I have tried cooking oil. I had better luck with the cooking oil spread on it thinly and squeegeed out. Still looking for a less expensive method than what is sold at LFS.
