Wow!! That’s a lot time ..sound solid tho

[@BobSmith-cs9nq]

Good information. How would you repair a tank that female fitting for drain has broken?

[@rodneylovin1798]

When you are melting the outer edge of mesh are you just heating up tank plastic to melt in or using plastic rods.

I have about a 3ft crack in a blackwater tank (looks like it's HDPE). Think this would fix it? Or is there a better solution?

[@hassenalkezaly1026]

Than you

[@frankl643]

I think JB weld can do a quick repaire for the tank.

[@1991cswrighty]

Is the tank itself Polypropylene?

[@LeoFarmQueen-dv5zm]

How can I buy that tarsh

[@jasensherwood1707]

Amazing

[@airpilikia]

Did you use the PP welding rod that came with the kit? It doesn't look shinny like the welding rod in the video. I don't need a large amount that you link to from amazon. I am trying to fix a water tank just like the one in the video. Thanks

[@First_Class_Amateur]

The best repair will use the same plastic you’re making the repair on. I didn’t know what came with the kit, so I ordered some to be sure.

[@Lore-wv5mt]

You should of showed us how to check the type of plastic we need.

[@robertperea7578]

Hi Brent...I want to add a plastic drain plug to my RV fresh water tank at the lowest middle sag point so that I can fully drain it in the winter instead of tilting the RV to get it to drain...can you help?

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Check this out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH7HfYp3jtdqec0

[@robertd6925]

Where did you get the plastic?

[@First_Class_Amateur]

I ordered it off of Amazon

[@fishhuntadventure]

0:36 Well pvc cement, epoxy, and certain butyls and urethanes stick to plastic on my planet

[@JeepinBoon]

Tanks always seem to crack in the worst place. Inside edge with no back access.

[@12v]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm debating plastic welding mine or fiberglass patch. Mine has 3/8" hole in the bottom covered by a janky old silicone over fiberglass cloth patch which started leaking on me. Plastic welding seems like the better solution so far, just need to get the tools.

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me!

@Terry Chandler instablaster ;)

[@terrychandler5759]

@Damien Coleman Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@terrychandler5759]

@Damien Coleman it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@damiencoleman7411]

@Terry Chandler No problem =)

[@ahedahmed9525]

What is the type of plastic used?

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Polypropylene

[@shannonitaliano1089]

Can this be done on a black tank …in place ?

[@JeepinBoon]

If you can fully access the crack, yes.

[@zoebaron1275]

Why the need for the butane torch? Why not just use the plastic welder and skip using the butane torch?

[@First_Class_Amateur]

The torch quickly heats up both surfaces (the repair rod and the tank) to bond them together. You could use just the welder, but it would take much longer to build up the patch. Brent

I'm kinda pissed about all the money i spent on buying new plastics for my dirtbikes.
