Has Weld-on 40 been discontinued by IPS? I can't seem to find any info about it at their website. Is Weld-On 810 the same thing?

Got a gallon kit coming. Got all the seams sanded on my 240g. Should be able to get started on application this coming weekend. I'd like to have this tank up and running by the end of September/October. Then I can get started on my next big tank project.

Thanks. I'm wondering how much coverage I'll get with 1 pint for sealing/reinforcing joints like shown in this thread. Anyone know? Otherwise a Gallon would set me back about $200. The cost is giving me 2nd doubts about the new tanks I plan on building.

That's what I'm wondering. How big of a tank can I seal with 1 pint?
Ooook.. its easier if you tell me the size of tank you'd like to plan. I can tell you that a pint might do a 40 to 50 gallon tank on all the seams.

I've found gallon kits of #40 for way cheaper then $200.

How big of tank are you planning?

I'd like to build a 10' x 2.5' x 1.5' 280 gallon tank. I'm thinking of doing a plywood shell, that will be lined with .090" thick Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester Resin Panels. I was thinking about using the Weld-on to seal the inside seams of the FRP panels. If the Weldon is too costly, now I'm thinking I'll just try using Max ACR epoxy and just pour it the same way into the seams.

Are you sealing acrylic to acrylic? Or acrylic to the fiberglass ?

I'm not using acrylic at all. I'd be using the the weld on (or epoxy, whichever is better and/or cost effective) to seal the joints on the Polyester FRP Panels.
