Holed fresh water tank repair

[draaiorgel]

Hi guys n gals,
Anyone had to repair the above and been successful?
It's a black plastic one on an Autosleeper Harmony which is slung
outside vehicle at the rear.
I thought about using the fibreglass paste to fix it.
What do you think?

depends what type of hole you have got fibreglass does,nt stick well to plastic ,we have repaired tanks with small holes by putting a large washer either thats was covered in silicone but it does need access both sides. how big is the hole? paul.

Wouldnt fibregalss matting be better than paste?

Fibreglass matting/resin/paste will not stick to a plastic tank. Ultimately the best repair would be plastic 'welding'.

Depending on the size and location of the hole, a plastic patch stuck on with Sikaflex would probably work, or you could try this: www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/PermaPoxy_Expoxies___Sealants.html#a4134

If you use sikaflex make sure you use a adhesive sealant like the512.Best of luck.

Thanks Andy,
