I have been looking for a cheaper alternative to building tanks with pond armor and in my research have found DEVOE. they make a product call bar rust and it is used for potable water tanks. my question is if its safe for potable water is it also fish safe?
epoxy coatings??

Anything safe for potable water tanks is fish safe.
Is this stuff much cheaper than pond armour?
I saw your build thread when I was planning my ply build a couple of years ago and it really helped so cheers

I can get it from my local ship supply for less than $50 a gallon. Thanks for the compliment on that build also.

Well this thread died...
I was hoping to hear some first hand experience with Devoe Bar-Rust since I can get it locally, it's cheaper, and it should be easier to apply than pond armor.
By the way, 20062008, the OP was referring to Bar-Rust 233H, not 235. Perfectly safe product for our use. How well does it work is the question here.

Looks like a perfect product to line a DIY plywood tank. If nobody reports back, I guess I will buy some and test it out. If it looks good, I may use it on my tank build. Of course, if I do, I will let you know how it works out.

Sorry for the dub. I can't edit my post.
The OP wanted to know if it was safe, I want to know how well it works.
