Default Water tanks

A friend of mine and I did exactly that. We built a very odd shaped plywood
(15mm) tank of about 200 liters (appr. 50 gallon). We inserted a few
bulkheads for structural strength, put fillets in all corners and painted
the inside with special epoxy paint for fresh water tanks. We used no glass.
The top is removable and sealed with rubber.


I’ve been toying with the idea of making water tanks for my boat but
was dubious about using epoxy as a lining. I didn’t think it would be
safe enough for drinking water.
So what is this paint you have used?
Is it safe to drink the water ?
Does it affect the taste of the water?
