The first aid warnings on the labels should tell whether any product should not be used around food. However, neither is likely to be a permanent fix if the tank is plastic. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/html/get_ri...oat_odors.html |

I wonder if a PVC welder would work for sealing holes like that?

It is possible to weld plastic, but it takes some practice. I've had
good luck using a hot glue gun for sealing holes in plastic tanks. The hot glue sticks are essentially a plastic with a low melting temperature. If you get everything clean and dry before applying the hot glue, and are careful, I think you will like the results. You can get a hot glue gun at Walmart, or Home Depot. YMMV Don W.
