you can take a look at my plywood tank I posted photo in the public albums secition. you should be able to get ames blue max do not use expoy paint it is too brittle any shif in the tank and it will crack and leak. blue max is non-toxic 800% fexiable and drinking water safe. it will increase the strenk of you build.

Can i get ames blue max in UK?

Thanks

google it mate, you'll soon find out. could always go down the fibre glass route, it's working for me.

i have gone for acrylic, but it's not sealed in yet so i cant say which is best, but acrylic is pound for pound lighter and a lot stronger than glass, just may need to seal it slightly different than glass.
