Water tank - 2


The special (IE: hideously expensive) food grade epoxy arrived and so I went to work putting 3 coats of it inside of the tank.
How to epoxy the inside of a tank


















The inside of the tank turned out nice and white and so all I had to do was reinstall it. Easier said then done.
After we carried it into the Goose, I put the fittings back on to the tank

Droped it into place... notice the beat red face?

Goop up the seal

 
With the application of silicon to the rubber gasket the lid went back into place and the area under our bed finally got rebuilt again. It’s nice to have our boat back together again.


 
The tank is back under its sound deadening foam and Anna's storage compartment is reassembled.
As projects go, this one was a paticularly nasty one because we had to remove the bed, (many times), finding a home for all of the "stuff" under the bed for the weeks that the project took and the nasty business of sandblasting the tank and then epoxying the inside of a small place. I'm glad it's done and may I never have to see the tank again!
