[VAC] Re: Fixing Black Water Holding Tank



Epoxy will not stick and stay on the plastic tanks that Airstream used in
production, no matter what grit sandpaper you use. As soon as the tank
flexes, it will pop it off.
I couldn't tell you, over the course of my years, how many "epoxy repaired"
tanks, I have replaced, because the repairs would not hold. Hundreds, at
least.
Secondly, to remove the tank, attempt to repair it, and to reinstall it takes
time. When it fails it won't be in your yard, you will most likely be on the
road.
Then you start all over, again.
Sorry folks, these are the facts. Epoxy will not permanently stick to that
plastic.
