    Clean the surface thoroughly with a wire brush, then alcohol before you apply the epoxy. Wire brush to give the surface more bite and the alcohol as a final degrease. "Gee I wish I hadn't done so much prep" said nobody, ever.

    A tad off-topic, but what's the thinking about trying it for 'fixing' our S/steel solar hot water tank ? - Am told there's a crack next to a pipe-fitting, the source of a constant dripppppppping in the nearest down-pipe. Yes, I know, "Cheapskate pensioner..."

    Also, depending on nearness etc, the other idea of a plate, pop-riveted and slathered under & around with Magic Mud is attractive. Might be safer, in that it's a mains-pressure. HWS, not a 'Low Pressure' system.

    Prob. Mains pressure here is allegedly 150 PSI.

    IDIOT ME section.....

    Hindsight is wonderful....
    Just unearthed in my big shed... a water 'Pressure Reducing' gizmo, variable... Think I bought it when we had a low pressure HWS. Anyway, IF it was fitted to this one, the lower pressure would have extended life of the S/Steel as it does NOT like water hammer or high pressure, - so a plumber informs me...
