[VAL] waste tank woes
Thanks to all of you who responded to my query about
repairing a polyethelene waste tank out of my 73 Land
Yacht. I accidentally deleted the last response in
which someone kindly gave the website for a type of
adhesive that is particulary effective for this type
of repair. If that person sees this, I would
appreciate you re-sending the info!
I took the tank to a local company in Portland that
does plastic welding. They quoted me $175 for repair,
and $450 to fabricate a new tank. At that price I'd
rather carry around a bucket! I'm now leaning toward
an epoxy repair job, but will get estimates from a
couple of companies (All-Rite and Inca Plasics) on
having a new tank built.
