Looking good!

The drylok directly on plywood will only last about 10 months. I've tried... Now if the box was lined with hardie panel it's be fine...

damn that sounds like a undertaking

Wish I'd known. Like I said it will not be holding large volumes of water so we will see. As stated if it does not work I am only out $40

3 down 2 to go...

Up to 12 mils and it does not look it. But .012 inches isn't all that much

Finishing tomorrow.

Thinking last night about how it does not look as though I have put any epoxy on the tank, then I did a little googleing and found out that my target 20 mils is only the thickness of a piece of cardstock (avg 0.0175") So that will be barely noticeable.

Just thought I would share that seemingly worthless random thought. (too many fumes I think)

Cheers Off to the garage for the next coat.
