Subject: GMC: Leaking Water And Other Tanks
Troops....... I spoke to a man traveling through with a SOB the other day
and he turned me on to something interesting. He repaired his plastic water
tank by putting plain old Super Glue in the crack and letting it sit for the
day. The stuff seems to soften just about all plastics and bond them
together. I used it on my leaking Water Pik yesterday and it works neat.
For around a buck, it's sure worth a try.........Jim Davis On The Beautiful

**Please heed my advice** Take it from an experienced modeler who has used
CA glues (super glue), please please wear eye protection. You probably would
be trying to repair the tank above eye level. Nothing adheres better than
human parts. You won't get a second chance.
If you want larger quantities at a much better price you can go to any hobby
shop that sells model airplance supplies. The CA glues come in super thin,
regular, and thick. A lot of people also have fairly severe allergic
reactions to the glue. Some become less tolerant after exposure.
