300ish Gallon plywood - First attempt

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm gonna give it a solid week to cure. So it'll be next Wednesday before I test fill the sump.


As for my silly little cardboard box. It held water ok. Wasn't perfect because the ends were folded and the paint didn't span the gaps. So water went between the folds and popped the end out. I'm gonna attempt to soak the cardboard off the rubber paint and see what i can do with it.

Its not that I'm cheaping out. It is just the easiest thing I can do to fill in the corners that will be sealed with the rubber paint it will stick too.

If you're painting with rubberized paint, you could have just used something like Liquid Nails or Loctite construction adhesive. You'd get far more strength out of it and it's the rubberized paint that's sealing it anyway.

Damn. Why didn't I think of that.


That would definitely work. But then again this was something I had on hand. The shop has a mountain of stuff in it from various old jobs, projects, and sales so I've just been reusing a lot of it. If I could have lived with 16 inch viewing windows I have 10 sheets of 5' x 16" 3/8"s tempered glass downstairs as well.
 
The stuff dries harder then stone. If you glue to 2x4's together with it 9 times outta 10 the wood will split not the nails.

I don't like using it most of the time. But if its on hand or if something keeps coming lose it gets nailed.

i dont like not haveing the money to buy more tank.
it kills me, but nice work so far keep it going
