How to Make Custom Plywood Tanks: Part 3

[@Abiti3131]

Wow thanks was gonna build one with plastic you saved me !

[@bbsara0146]

I am going to build this for the overflow spillway of my waterfall I am building. I need a custom tank in a weird shape and I dont have a sheet metal shop. This looks like it will work since its 100% water tight with all that epoxy

brilliant video!

Nice one - very well described. I have just decided to make my own holding tank rather than buy one. I did a KZbin search and your channel popped up. I was thinking of simply making a plywood box and then covering it inside and out with fiberglass. But I like your idea of laminating the plywood first and then using thickened epoxy and stainless screws. I'll provide a link to your channel after I have done it so that people can see how it should be done if that's OK. Cheers.

I’d recommend using an aircraft technique to make the bond area of the top larger.

Nice video… List of products you used?

[@111alien111]

Hi bud, what grit sander did you use to do the final sanding ?

[@kaackster]

what is this tank used for?

[@elelegidosf9707]

Shit and piss - it's a holding tank

[@carloslizarraga5]

I want to try this on my new evaporate cooler to hold the water and be free of rust. My question how long will hold do I need to paint it?

[@111alien111]

Hi bud, what epoxy did you use ?

[@TonyAnschutz]

Excellent project. Would this also work for fresh water tanks. ? I love the threaded fittings

[@boatnotes6885]

Thanks! I am not sure what to tell you on water tanks. West System provides a guide on building tanks but never really says it's OK to build water tanks. Personally, I wouldn't do it for water tanks. Thanks for watching! Visit our new website if you get a chance. www.boatnotes.com

[@TonyAnschutz]

THanks. I check it out. Appreciate the info

[@Ammo461]

Love it! Very useful guide.

[@boatnotes6885]

Great to hear, Mark! We are working on more projects that will be coming up soon! Our new website just launched as well. Check it out. www.boatnotes.com

Inspection and cleaning port?

[@skillsrobles]

after all those material costs, might as well buy a 200 gallon tank.

[@boatnotes6885]

Sure, just a saw hole in the bottom of the boat to accommodate your 200 gallon idea!

[@dimitri1660]

Hey! sorry for my google english! How to seal the plastic threads in the tank. I can not imagine that you just screw the fittings on those epoxy threads. thanks for your videos

[@danfall1003]

TFE paste

How is the tank holding up?

[@boatnotes6885]

The tanks is holding up well. No smell, no leaks, no problems. The boat was caught in 8-12 foot seas with serious headwinds (30-40 knots) for over 24 hours on one sailing trip. It was a good test. I am very satisfied with the build quality of the tank.

Hi, wonderful video. Can we tile over it once its cured?

[@muluken3700]

why u dont show all 1

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

was that 10KG of epoxy or what? :)

[@boatnotes6885]

Yeah, no, coating plywood doesn’t take a lot of epoxy. Once you learn how to use epoxy you’ll know this. 😂

[@bizim_eller]

👍👍🙂

[@YuriyKhovansky]

I started with Woodglut plans.
