HOW TO SEAL TINY LEAK IN 1993 WL BLACK WATER TANK?

[fwernlein]

Your use of RTV may hold up...if it does, your done! But if you
have further problems, i can recommend a product i have found often
at hardware & marine stores...Starbright/West Marine Epoxy Putty
Stick. Comes in a tube, you cut off what you need, knead it for a
minute, stick it on, mould it, and in a while, it hardens like
stone! As such, it is not a good gasket material, but a good plug
or used to fill. I have used it for my a black tank leak (just a
slow drip near a fitting, perhaps a rock hit) and it has held up
great for over a year. I just cleaned the area up with sandpaper
and used it. I always keep some handy, it stores well.

& I have created a photo album in the Photos section entitled Pearce
1993 BWT with photos of the location of the leak. We DON'T KNOW the
composition of the tank so are not sure as to what material to use
to seal this leak. Jack has used some RTV to try to seal the leak.
He will check it daily to see if the RTV has fixed the problem. It
looks as though the tank has been repaired before in this same area
but we don't know for sure. Suggestions, ideas and recommendations
would be much appreciated in helping us solve this problem. We feel
that we should be able to go 5-7 days before having to dump the
BWT. :-?
