[QUOTE="ET43, post: 5446, member: 62"] [b]atlac resin[/b] Being out of the trade now, I'm not sure where one can obtain this resin. I remember that it was normally supplied in 225kg drums!! One must find a manufacturer of grp storage tanks, et al, like garage forecourt fuel storage tanks,and take a can along to purchase some. I believe that it will not adhere to existing laid up items, so must be used if a new construction is undertaken. I have made over 1,000 fuel tanks and all of mine were flow coated inside with a 50/50 mix of gel coat and resin and the lowest amount of curing agent you could use, as the heat build up with the residue laying in the bottom of the tank is fearsome and will cause ripples or distortion of the tank. My own tank on the red thruster has survived for some 15 years to date. Old Bike Mart advertise some rubber tank sealant which I will be using when I get to put the thing on the road again. My only other suggestion is to use a search engine for the information you want. There are now vinyl ester resins on the market which I think are more durable than the polyester stuff I made mine from. Cheers, ET43 [/QUOTE]
