READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. I had 2 minutes before it became unusable.

This product works great and is easier than replacing the gas tank on my Mercury Marquise. I bought 2 just in case and passed both. Read and follow the instructions. It hardens quickly. Not much time to apply. Every second really counts, but the results are great. I had leftovers in every pack I used because it got too hard. When I did this I had a maximum of 2 minutes to apply the product after it hit the rail. Only mix the bags for 30 seconds, no longer or the mixture will harden.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Treat bad reviews with a grain of salt. not true

All the geniuses who gave a bad rating simply did NOT follow the instructions! Like most things, you should use it for its intended purpose! I cannot fault the product because you are not smart enough to follow the instructions. This product works great and we have used it on many fuel tanks, each time sealed and still great! But I also followed the instructions. good product! Saved me from pulling out the tank or buying a new one. $15 vs $300-500 for a new tank 5 minutes vs 5-6 hours Use your…

Amazing replacement product

Absolutely amazing product. I have to say that this stuff installs very quickly. Make sure you're ready to install the patch starting to finish in less than 5 minutes. I applied epoxy and glued on a patch of fiberglass, when I coated the fiberglass the package looked like a brick. This was about 4-5 minutes after opening the package after mixing. Had to buy a second set to finish the job. I used it to patch a 3-4mm hole in a steel tank, it has lasted for several months, the paint has also…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • So so

Wastebasket won't hold

Description says "Works best on metal and plastic tanks, fuel tanks and oil pans". So I used it for my mower's plastic tank. I have cooked according to directions, applied as directed and it has held up great through the last month or so of last year's mowing season. I emptied the tank and put the mower in the garden shed over the winter. Removed last weekend, filled up and it's dripping like a sieve. To test this, a lower mower/dump valve fuel was used than the repair and the repair just…

  • New

Heats/hardens too quickly

I needed this product to repair 2 small holes in a lawnmower's plastic fuel tank. I prepared the surfaces (sanded) for both holes and cut fiberglass patches for both holes before mixing the epoxy. Within seconds of mixing the epoxy, the bag became too hot to handle or work with. I had to try to find thermal hand protection before proceeding and within 1-2 minutes the epoxy was cured and unusable but still too hot to hold without gloves. Nothing in the instructions prepares you for the heat the…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Only available in black

Works great if your patient is

Commercial grade plastic tank for lawnmowers. This stuff works great, I know the instructions say it's almost impossible to beat the activation time to mix the entire contents of the bags. This is faster than 5 minutes. Make sure you have everything ready, clean with acetone or nail polish remover, carefully trim the seams between the bags, then trim the corners of the bags. Lay the doll about a quarter of its size on a smooth surface. Mix this as the bottom layer, place in the basin, place a…

Pros
  • GOLS certified.
Cons
  • Weight

The product worked great.

#2 Heating oil or diesel leaks are very difficult to stop with chemical sealants. I've tried many, like JB Weld (which works fine joining broken things together), but when the tank is leaking they don't work. I had a very small leak on a 3 year old 275 gallon fuel tank. The tank was full. The leak was at the bottom of the tank. I wiped the oil off with a rag and then wiped it off again with a rag soaked in alcohol. The leak appeared after about 5 seconds of viewing. I sanded the area down to…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some mistakes
