Default What product is used to Seal Fiber Glass Tank?

I am trying to find the part number of the product used to seal the inside of the Fiberglass tanks. The tanks in my Motion need to be refinished. I heard that Skater is using a product called darakane, but I don't know where to purchase this or what part number to use. Any help would be great!

Thanks!
Don

Only in Canada I do, I don't think they will ship to you. But Composites Canada 905 629 3178

It has a VERY short shelf life if you get it promoted, I suspect though that nobody will sell it to you unpromoted... unless you are an organic chemist.... or want to blow yourself up.

Impressive stuff.

Don. Don't waste your time or go for the quick fix. If you do bladders, you will NEVER have a prob. again. There is no way to tell if all the contaminated glass has been cleaned. Always a possible prob. in the future. Tanks can be cleaned and serviced on a regular bassis with bladders! If your tire had a hole, would you trust "fix-a-flat" or get a new one?

I am just trying to research all avenues. If it is such a patch job why would Skater be doing it on 95% of there boats? I have heard some people having issues with bladders too.

If you do bladders, you will NEVER have a prob. again. So you can predict the future also ????
