LOL - You don't want to see the seams. I was going for functionality not beauty. I don't have any of the real watery weldon anyway. Also, I'm not sure that my saw cuts perfect enough to be able to use that stuff. I used the gel so that I "could" fill in the gaps.

The round top versus the rectangular holder is exactly why it stays in place.
I wouldn't have had the space for a round holder in my sump and my socks seem to kind of go wide and flat(ish) anyway. A rectangular holder seemed to be the perfect choice.

My socks have some kind of rubber band (not stretchy though) in the top of them. I probably will make my own or have someone else make me a bunch. I'll put elastic in the top of them so they can just hug the outside of the holder I made. That should work.
