The L360 manu= al which I am using, in the section on the header tank construction, says th= at I may seal the inside of the tank with primer and then tank sealer (=E2=80= =9CPRC 1422=E2=80=9D is suggested), or  with =E2=80=9Ctwo thick coats o= f resin=E2=80=9D (page 11-34).

&nb= sp;

I am interested in what others have foun= d to be the best way to go. As I live in Australia, the resin option is much= easier than importing the sealer. However, I suspect there may be more to t= his decision than just the cost and simplicity advantages of resin. I would r= eally appreciate any advice that others may be willing to offer.<= /p>

 

Thanks= again.
