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.

Oh, and it is just a tad on the spendy side.

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 ????
