[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1821628, member: 8359"] With thin flat metal leaks where I can't weld I do the sandwich. I use two flat stock steel pieces (w/hole in center) then cut rubber intertubes to match the steel stock....all sandwiched together both sides and bolted down (stainless bolt/nut best with poly washers-to seal) together...w/rubber seals on each side of the flat stock covering the hole. Plastic, poly...i will always try to burn it, melt it and solder it with nearby material and mined sacrifical material i can take in other locations, then to brace and enhance the fix i'll mix jb weld epoxy to coat and give abrasion endurance to the thinner-weaker repair. It's lipstick on the fix...looks better than the melted goo spread and acts as a secondary containment. I've had great luck with fiberglass...real glass not bondo...it's time consuming to mix, costly and clean-up sucks...but the finished product amber-hardened glass bonds to any material...Even better if the surface is cleaned-filed-ruffed up-uneven.
