Thanks Gerry, 

I just picked up some PC7 epoxy paste, has anybody ever tried to THIN this stuff?

It says it wont run or sag, I NEED it to run down into the seam of the tank.

  I used JB Weld on my gas tank and it's been holding perfectly. Just make sure it's very clean before application.

  Cheers, Gerry

This is not directly for a fuel tank its for a parts washer tank which holds 
solvent. The bottom seam of the barrel is leaking at the seam where its crimped. 

There is a large grove in on the inside that can be filled. 

Thinking permatex, RTV, ? Epoxy?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Doug
