Tank safe clear coat/ sealant

[DirtyBird]

Ok thanks. I called Rustoleum.... and after 25min on hold he told me their clear enamel is NOT waterproof and not intended to be submerged...

I bought this DecoArt acrylic spray sealer. It says its waterproof. I want to be absolutely sure on this round.

I made one already, sealed (or at least I thought I sealed) it, siliconed all the parts that are in constant water contact. Siliconed it into the tank, and did a water test.... DISASTER ! Several small leaks... I was a little excited and a bit over-zealous about my first build, and got carried away with design and had way too many hard to get to places.... so now that week and a half of time, work, money, and the tank itself are useless. I didn't want to use it since the grout and paints could flake off since it had several untrackable leaks...

Here is a pic of the first one.





I have started a second one. Letting it gas-out, cure, and dry up a couple days before I seal it. Gotta buy ANOTHER tank for this build, it'll be the 3rd one, LOL! I accidently broke the first one, ruined this one... and now the $1 per gallon sale is over
