The graceful movements keep my attention, but I'm not taken in by the seemingly gentle nature of this fish. I know it can be a voracious eater and will defend its territory to the death. No matter how many times I see the Yellow Tang, either in the aquarium or while diving, I always marvel at its grace and splendor. INSTRUCTIONS Step 1. Corian® has a definite top and bottom. The top is generally smoother than the bottom and the bottom might have writing on it. However, with the solid colors (red, yellow, black, and lilac), you can use either side because they are both the same. Place masking tape on the surface of the yellow Corian® piece. This will aid in keeping your blade from overheating when you are cutting the material. Make several copies of the patterns and cut the top fin off the pattern. Use 3M Spray Mount artist adhesive to adhere the pattern of the body of the fish to the masking taped Corian® surface. Place the top fin in front of the body. % | 8 | I % I % V % I % £ |
