So for the folks who recomended epoxy in the 1999 posts are you still
happy with them 7 years later?

A qualified "Yes". Our tank's worked flawlessly (after correcting an
initial fault), but if I were to do it again, I'd put the tank in the
bow. There are tanks that will fit properly.

See Peggie's book for how to do it right.

Hello All:

Thank you for taking the time to share your advice. I love this place!
Where else can somebody ask a dumb question and get decades of
experienced and knowledgeable answers.

I contacted two of Peggy's recommendations for a plastic tanks but
after all the custom do-dads I wanted I think I will be best suited
with a "proper" epoxy ply tank.

So to Denny, Peggy, Lew, Cavelamb, and Jere a BIG thank you for your
advice. I will most certainly heed it all.

Also I ran across this link that describes how to use West epoxy for a
tank fab. Not exactly the same standard mix, wet, and lay up. Which may
be the cause of more casually built epoxy waste tanks
