    help quick!!!

    ok, im at work and took my tank off to see if there were any more holes in it. (theres a small one on the side) and noticed about 5 on the bottom and need to know if the risk of soldering a tank is the same as welding (i would like to keep my limbs intact). i need a quick fix to get home. will get some tank seal and attack it this weekend.
    If practive makes perfect, but no bodys perfect then why practice?

    I think you should be right soldering it as there no sparks, but make sure the cap is off while soldering.

    You'll be right as long as you don't solder with gas!

    Sweet as. The big thing is have as few fumes in there as possible as they are what goes bang, give it a blow out with a fan or something.

    yea the air line will work good! Definitely time for a new tank or something then. I have found a Sikoflex product (a windscreen glue) that works for a good long while, used it on a quad tank. Nice anf flexible and sticks like shit on a shoe.
