      I did not, it’ll typically hold a good bit of weight and still stick to the glass. In very larger enclosure with much heavier materials attached to the background, you should usually add some kind of support to make sure the foam doesn’t fall off the glass

      @@ormsonaquariumdesign3587 I had some issues though I did a 3 sided background. It needs some kind of structure to stick, and mine didnt have that. For anyone doing a 3 sided background with this method- 1. Put some egg crate or other material for the foam to stick to, it'll ensure longevity 2. Get different colored silicone/foam, it'll be easier to see where you applied it and you'll be less likely to miss spots Such a fun project.
