Works great
This stuff is awesome. It's tacky and hardens quickly. To help ensure it would stick I wire wheel a good section of the paint.

It Works
It has been holding up well for quite a while now. I had a crack in my gas tank andit repaired it. It passed the state inspection as well. It works.

Works perfectly
I have a 35-year-old metal 2-1/2 gallon gas can that I made the mistake of leaving sitting on a dirt and gravel floor. After a few years, the bottom had rusted a hole through. After sandblasting it, I found about 15 holes. They ranged in size from 1/2" to pin holes. I like the can, so I decided I'd try to fix it. I used metal prep to stabilize any remaining rust, let it dry well, and then used half of this tube. To cover about a third of the circumference lip where all the holes were. I tapered it back about a quarter of an inch. It sealed perfectly the first time.

Could not find the 'perfect' tank. Better alternative than buying a whole new tank.
Repaired a gas tank on my lawn tractor. Seems to hold, keeping the gas from leaking out. Will update as the summer progresses.

Easy To Use - Worked Great
Gas tank on pressure cleaner was beginning to have a crack. Used a small quantity - combined until it turned dark gray and applied it to the area. Smoothing out to make sure it stuck to the plastic tank. Worked great.
