Permatex® Plastic Tank Repair Kit

This product works as advertised. I have a basketball hoop and the plastic base got cracked. This was able to seal the crack well and the basin is holding water well. We'll see how it stands up over time but the epoxy dried hard and smooth so it looks promising. As noted by others... you need to work fast when using this! My first attempt at using this product didn't work out well as I took too long, and before I had finished painstakingly applying the epoxy mix it grew extremely hot and started to harden before I'd applied much of it. My second attempt I was ready and worked quickly. One thing worth noting is that the epoxy comes out quite runny so if you're applying to a curved surface be aware of that, and you might want to just cut a corner of the epoxy packet so that you are applying a narrow-ish stream with more control than what I initially did. There is more material in here than I initially anticipated.

Excellent product! Fixed my Angel Fish's tank. Very easy to use. Also figured out how to multi-task this product when a patch on my Uniform got loose on one end. I did not have access to a sewing machine, and this actually fixed my patch from hangin off! It even held going through the washing machine.

The tank repair kit we purchased seems to have worked just fine on my coolant overflow reservoir. No problems.

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.

Saved a bunch of money, trouble, and time! The black water (toilet) tank on my trailer was cracked right where the outlet pipe exits and leads to the dump fittings. I was worried because there was so little space around the crack to apply solvents or patch material, but this kit handled it with no problems. As with most projects, prep was important. I scrubbed the area with a Simple Green solution to clean and degrease, then followed the instructions carefully. The use of fiberglass and resin makes the patch incredibly versatile. Because the fiberglass fabric is flexible, I was able to patch beyond the crack even around bends and up onto the pipe to make a strong bond. If you can make a peanut butter sandwich, you can successfully use this kit. Quick tip: the incident that caused the crack happened on a trip, so I bought extra kits to keep in the trailer. The kit really has everything you need so you could easily make repairs while travelling. Can't say how grateful I am for such a well-made and well-executed product.

Despite following the instructions accurately, the epoxy when mixed in its pouch immediately had an extreme chemical reaction. The pouch heated to the point of not being able to hold it -- and the epoxy hardened in its pouch within 45 seconds of mixing (not the 8-minute work time claimed on the package), rendering it useless. Amazon was very good about processing a refund. This epoxy is too volatile to work with. Beware...you only have a few seconds to work with it -- not 8 minutes.

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.

Update- tank started leaking again. It is a location where the tank does flex though so I guess to be expected. Would probably last quite awhile where a repair is made with out flex. I used this as a last resort to stop a very small leak in the top corner of a HDPE RV fresh water tank. I have attempted plastic welding and multiple epoxies. All have eventually failed. Took a flier on this based on a few other successful reviews. The packaging does say not recommended for HDPE plastic (didn't see that in the online specs fyi) but hey, it is holding on a small leak. The location of the leak is at a point that flexes a lot when the tank is filled (guess that is why it started leaking there) but this material seems to maintain some flexibility compared to the other epoxies I have tried. Will see how it fairs come cooler weather. As a side note, this stuff gets really hot and has minimal working time. Make sure your are set and ready to go when the 2 parts mix. Just saying.

👍

Ok

Product specification says not for fuel tanks only. But it does not mention,from the small prints in the manual: NOT FOR POLYETHYLENE OR POLYPROPYLENE. Because 90% of watertanks and tubes are made from this. So product is useless!

I used this product to repair a small crack on my car’s coolant reservoir, however the paste didn’t stick the reservoir properly and was peeled off after few days!

buen producto ya lo use y quedo bastante bien
