I used WaterWeld to fix the leaking fresh water tank from my camper. JB Weld WaterWeld is a NSF approved food grade epoxy putty. JB Weld Water weld worked on my abs plastic water tank. This is not sponsored.

You can try to wet your fingers with water to smooth the outside of the patch. The edges around the patch will adhere more and give it a smooth finish. Just try a very small area on your next project if you don't believe me.

You can also make your own ABS putty/glue/slurry for repairing holes and cracks. Simply take 20 or 30 ABS scrap pieces the size of pennies, put them into a glass jar, and pour in 1/4 cup of MEK (methyl ethyl ketone - its a cleaner/degreaser available at most hardware stores). Stir the mixture and let sit over night with the lid on. The next day you should have an ABS paste/slurry that you can use to repair holes and cracks that will bond with the existing ABS forming a water tight repair.

Love your camper repair series . I might have trimmed some of the excess plastic off of the tank to clean up the wounded area.
Also check the installation area to see if something was rubbing or polking into your take to cause the damage.

Theres two types i see from jb weld: Steel stik and water weld. So im assuming water weld is meant for repairing water pipes or whatever relating to water? And the steel stik is for steel dry applications?

how long till dry? how hard will it be when dried? will it melt like silicon when under water? you know, basic things we need to know...

The packaging (and website) says it's a skin, eyes, respiratory hazard and to wear gloves, goggles, etc. Did you find it irritating on your skin?

If your making a video to showcase the shittiest application of this product you nailed it.

[Bluesidian]

Nice vid. I would have sanded down the hole and made it flush before patching. And then done the same after. I am anal on my work. My bad.
