If I may offer a alternate for sealing aluminum tanks it would be to solder the seams with aluminum solder using a propane torch. There is a vender at Oshkosh that offers a kit for about $85. Rivets and solder seam like a alternate.

I would think that by now there are better bonding agents for aluminum out there where one could possible just glue aluminum panels together instead of riveting. Anybody heard of anything like that? I am about ready to cut aluminum for making my tanks and am still debating welding, riveting and proseal, or any "new" options that I have not heard of. _______________________________________________ see KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html
