After doing my absolute best to assemble a leak free tank I am disappointed to say that I have a leak. After the balloon deflated slowly over several hours three different times (yes i tried three times thinking it may somehow miraculously fix itself) I accepted the fact
After painting the tank with soapy water and pressurising, it was clear my leak was at a rivet in a middle bay. I'm hoping for suggestions for a painless fix. The thought of making a large access hole in my tank..........
I recall reading some were that a fix for this would be to thin out some sealant with MEK then create a vacuum in the tank allowing it draw in the thinned out sealant into the leaky rivet hopefully sealing the hole.
looking for an answer and as always thanks for the excellent replies I always receive here
