Plastic Tank Welding
« on: June 29, 2015, 07:45:06 am »
Anyone know of a plastic welder in the Newcastle / Sydney area that does plastic repairs on tanks? Mate has a YZ490 that has a split in the tank and wants to get it repaired.
Cheers
Dan

Clarke only do oversize 490 tanks.

I agree that if it's split from age, it will just split again. I'd only weld a plastic tank that had copped an injury.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
