Hi John,

I seem to recall watching iFish a short time ago and they showed this stuff you can knead and use underwater to seal water tanks Etc.

Supposed to work on all sorts of materials.I just cannot recall the stuff's name.

I will try and search it out but maybe the BCF or IFish website may help.

Cheers

Trevor

I checked it out and the company is called JB Weld.They have a few suitable products so Google JB Weld and you should find the stuff to fix the tank.

I have a rectangular water tank under my Hi Ace and it has started to seep water from a seam and I do not want to drain the tank to seal the seam. Has anyone had and fixed this problem with water still in the tank?

Thanks for any forthcoming suggestions,

John

If you are a bit handy,(like me) you drain the tank, get a reasonable soldering iron, and CAREFULLY weld the offending seam, as long as its a thermosetting plastic tank. Also, I have used Kneadit, an epoxy ribbon that you just use like plasaseen after kneading the required amount. The soldering trick works best. I hope this helps you. Bill

 Hi Bill,

it is a stainless steel tank holding about 60 litres and I do not want to drain it, I can fix it if I drain it the location of the seam is easily accessable.

Not sure if this is too outrageous, but would Chewing gum [maybe attatched on with masking tape ?] be any use as a short term fix 'till you got somewhere to fix it properly ?

thanks for the ideas, I Googled underwater sealant and ended up with this page:-

Reading its uses it sounds like it may do the trick and it is available in most hardware stores.

Will buy some when next in a large town probably Mackay next week.
