The Kit that Vans sells comes with a little jar of 'stuff' and a little pouch of 'stuff'. Can I pull out a small glob of each, mix them together like JBWeld and be safe? I like the pool idea. I may have to make a midnight run to get in the water. I don't think I'll get much respect calling my 50gal. tank a pool toy. 8*) I would try the green loctite, except that this pinhole is on the bottom of the tank, and the tank is wholy contained in that same space as the cabin. Some things I'm just not comfortable experimenting with. --=20 ,|"|"|, Ernest Christley | ----=3D=3D=3D<{{(oQo)}}>=3D=3D=3D---- Dyke Delta Builder | o| d |o http://ernest.isa-geek.org | -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html
