If you want to thin vinyl Ester resin or epoxy resin. You need to use MEK (
methyl ethyl ketone). Both Lowe's and Home Depot has and 1 gallon cans. Ace

Jeb,
I see that your front deck is removable. So was mine and I had a leak as well
when I 1st filled it up. I was in the seams at the bottom when I floxed it to
the rest of the tank. Because it was removable I could pour epoxy it though the
filler neck and let the epoxy flow to the seams. I did

well and could easily peel off and get in the fuel system. Probably
would have been OK if I could have sanded the inside of the tank, but
there was no access.

got about 14.5 gallons

Vinyl ester has slightly better durability for 100 LL aviation fuel. Epoxy

I always got VE from Dan Diehl. It worked out much better than the AS stuff
because he promoted it properly for the current season to give a reasonable
