Default proseal or duct tape???

Just kidding!...but no doubt, somewhere in the industrial/chemical bonding 3M world, there's a black, fuel-proof 2-sided tape, and you just roll on, add the second skin, and you're done!..no rivets, no mixing, no mess.
(It's probably in the tool-box of the guys who fix undersea fibre-optic cable relays, or the space station!)

well, I guess I won't hold my breath (until I see it in some ACS catalogue)

The Air Force uses the same type of stuff. Not sure about the manufacturer but we called it B2 and B 1/2. The numbers denote the "curing" time. We always put everything on a 24 hour cure check regardless of the curing time.

I'm on the tanks myself and have procrastinated due to the fact that once you get started you have to keep going for that session. Just my opinion but you should do it the way Van intended it. Trust me, it is not as bad as it's reputation.

Really not a hard job to build RV Tanks. Just think what you are going to do. Plan your moves,,
