All,
The tank sealer Dad and I have used with great success is called Kwik
Poly - apparently the website has gone offline - it was kwikpolyllc.com -
perhaps someone can get it from a distributor.
Works great - sets in about 20 minutes - cures in a few hours.
Doesn't use oxygen and its an equal mix of two parts - very easy
to use.
-Joey
