I spent a couple of hours today progressing with the tank “gasket”. I got about an hour in and I think I realised that this was unlikely to work. The epoxy resin is quite thin, say 40W oil viscosity and not that sticky. The CF tape is very malleable/flexible until you put the resin into it when it becomes much less so.
In any event I laid down one layer of CF tape and left it to cure ( I used slow curing hardener to give me the most time to manipulate it). I came back 3 hours later and the CF tape had sprung away from the tank bottom and the a good percentage of the epoxy was lying in ¾ hardened puddles in the low point in the tank base.
Nothing to do now but wait for it to harden fully then try and remove it, I just hope the release agent has worked this time.
