Went to HD and the guy there also suggested Fiberglass as well. So I tried it. It's curing now so I jus t have to wait for it to cure and for this storm to pass.

Success.... sort if. I let it cure for 3 hrs. I may not have put enough hardener in. After three hrs I could still kind of stick a finger nail in it but not really. put t on and let the water flow. Twenty psi. The dome wants to expand due to the pressure so the crack did expand a hair. Less than 1/16th. A drip drip drip came out. I shoved some JB weld water that I had left over in the crack while the pump was on, shut it off and the crack closed squirting out some of the weld. I put some silicone sealant over that. It ain't pretty but we will see what happens tomorrow morning. My fear is that the dripping turns into a geyser when something lets lose.

I guess I will see in the morning.

Can you wrap it? I have this stuff on an AC line that sees a couple hundred PSI, still blowing cold.

make sure to roughen up the surface before you apply the epoxy, You can use rv tank repair kits from NAPA, they come with some fiberglas and a 2 part epoxy that will literally burn your skin off when it reacts. It melts the glas into the part being repaired.

If all else fails - call urethane supply co. and ask them for input.

Can't wrap it. It's a curved dome so no way to have it stay. Replacement should be her by Wed. I'm recirculating the water now. Should be ok.

I used 80 grit on and orbital to clean and prep the surface.
