I have a couple of catalogs from local RV places, and they list a "holding tank repair kit". It is supposed to have the right adhesive and patch for this type of plastic tank.

Does anyone have experience with these kits? Are there any tricks, other than lightly sanding the surfaces? We'll pick one up today and try it tonite.
Heat in some form, is usually necessary for a good patch.

Cold patches, usually are very short termed.

The big problem, is all the extra work you have to do, when you learn that the "'patch" failed.
