After completing the new tank replacement, i now left with the old tank which cracked. I plan to do a repair on it.
After much survey on other forums, i will rule out adhesive and go for spot moulding process. To do this, i have to get matching material and a hot press with controllable temperature. Any member have tried this method? Anyone knows the grade of HDPE of the tank? What is the right tremperature to get a good bonding? Hope members can assist me to do this experiment, thks. |
