water tank repair-west system epoxy or fiberglass resin
I need to repair a leaking seam on my fiberglass water tank. Somewhere I
think I read not to use epoxy in a water tank. Is this correct? Should only fiberglass resin be used inside a fresh water tank? krj |

Epoxy will work great but be sure to wash the inside of the tank after
it cures. There will be a residue you need to clean off. Don't use west though- it is over rated and extremely expensive. If you are in the US you can order a 2-1 epoxy from Joes auto body and marine supply 1-954-527-9200. They have other stores but I only have the Fort Lauderdale number. Ask for the 2-1 and make sure you get the guy on the phone to check 3 times that he has part A and part B. These guys are good at what they do but they breathe that junk all day and are a bit high most of the time - no joking. They also have the best price I have found on cloth especially when you buy an end lot. May your anchor be tight, your corks be loose, your rum be spiced and your compass be true. -- Captain Danny Taddei |

Joe's Auto is only about 2 miles from my house. I get a lot of supplies there. They will custom match gelcoat also. krj |

Are you in Fort Lauderdale? I have not been in their new store and fear
it when I do have to go. Does it stink as bad as the last one? |

Epoxy is best but you need an FDA rated grade for POTABLE water .....
--- kind of hard to find. If you dont use a rated for potable water the leachables from the epoxy can be harmful. In article , krj wrote: I need to repair a leaking seam on my fiberglass water tank.
