Did you flame treat the plastic before using the Gflex? You have to or it won't stick. Here is a good video explanation of how to flame treat. The flame treat portion starts at about 2:15 into the video.

Information on the product in the video is available here: http://www.tapplastics.com/product/repair_products/adhesives_glues_sealants/tap_poly_weld_adhesive/435

I've purchase some of this Poly Weld but haven't used it yet so I can't give a review. I'm still shovelling snow these days so it isn't warm enough to try this stuff on a tank leak.

    I developed a crack in one of my rain barrels - tried Gflex and it
    didn't stick. Ended up with some weather-stripping and a piece of
    aluminum bolted through the barrel.
    Anyone know what material a 30-1 forward tank is made of? Mine has
    a crack in the seam at the lowest part of the tank.

        You can use West System GFlex epoxy to repair
        a polyethylene holding tank. It will work on high and low
        density polyethylene so if you're not sure which you have, it
        really doesn't matter. Check out the West System site for
        additional documentation and videos. It's a pretty unique
        product. I have used it for other projects but not on
        polyethylene. http://www.westsystem.com/ss/g-flex-epoxy/
