getting wrapped round it.

They are epoxy resins that are solvent based which laminating resin is
not.
I used ProLine High build primer. ProLine is based in San Diego and is
owned by Sherwin Williams. Use SikaFlex 291 as a sealant for diesel
fuel tanks since it impervious
to diesel. SikaFlex 292 and 3M 5200 are not approved for diesel."
