PermatexPlastic Tank Repair Kit

worked great

Used this product on my 1999 3.8L V6 Ford Mustang washer fluid reservoir that was in somewhat rough shape with a long crack. Followed the instructions throughly and managed to seal and fix the crack with the provided contents. Additionally, I did buy extra clear epoxy to create another layer of protection while covering it with Saran Wrap and leaving it to cure overnight which definitely helped. Currently, no leaks!

This seemed to work well, and repaired the 140 gallon tank rock solid, but be advised when they say that after mixing the epoxy - that it can get hot. They don't mean hot, they mean HOT and it WILL burn your fingers if you aren't careful. The chemical reaction works fast, so plan on spreading it all out within 60-90 seconds. After that, the bag of the remaining mix will be too hot to even touch, so put it on a paper plate that you can just toss afterwards.I also feel they could give you more epoxy because I felt I was about 10% low. But overall the repair went well, and no leaks at this point in the tank.Highly recommended.

Didn’t work on a dirt bike gas tank. It did say “not for use on gas tanks” but I wanted to try.

The instructions specifically state that you have 8 minutes once you've introduced both parts of the epoxy to each other. I kneaded the two together within the package like instructed, until completely mixed, maybe 20 seconds. Cut off a corner of the packet and spread the epoxy on the tank, maybe another 20 seconds. I then put the mesh on top of the spread epoxy and then spread the epoxy on top of the mesh, covering it and brushing it in. Within about 30 seconds, the packet was VERY HOT and already solidifying in clumps inside the packet. I tried to push out any residual that hadn't hardened to save this repair but the epoxy was already stringy and hardened.There was literally no way for me to do this any faster than I did. 8 Minutes would have been more than sufficient to accomplish this repair. Unfortunately, this product hardens in around 2 minutes from the time you mix the 2 part epoxy together. Either I got a defective batch or this product simply doesn't live up to it's claims. Either way, don't waste your money.

FuncionóRecomendado

I bought this to repair a leaky ABS black tank on my RV, This is extremely fast setting so work quickly and have your surface prepped. THE FINISH IS ALL IN THE PREP. Also another nice tidbit of info. This is exactly the same as a fiberglass bondo kit which gives you alot more product for the price.

It needs to be used at an exact time because it needs to get hot but then hardens too fast to be malleable
