Okay, so I did a search here on how to re-seal Metaframe tanks that have a slate bottom and saw Oddball's response on an older topic saying that some people he knew had success using Dow Corning's 795 Building Sealant.
I'm about to begin this very same project on a 100 gallon Metalframe tank that has a catastrophic leak on one end about 3/4 of the way up the side wall. I will be cutting away all current sealant, then re-sealing the entire tank at one time. While researching this particular product though, it specifically says something that worries me:
"Dow Corning 795 Silicone Building Sealant should not be used on surfaces that are continually immersed in water."
Any update on this product? Is this something I should worry about? Is there another product that would be more suitable? Thanks in advance!
