    Default placing a monti on an overflow

    I have seen displays where the owners have placed montiporas on their overflows. How are these guys doing this?

    thats what i want chris, the only problem is mine has out grown the plug. I can use a lot of puddy on the plug so that i can make a flat surface to glue to the overflow.

    was your overflow dry when you did it? and i should scrap off the coraline.
