I sealed it with 3 coats of West System marine epoxy, and then painted it with light gray marine enamel. It works great, no leaks after 3 years, BUT - the light gray enamel stains like crazy from RA-4 developer. B&W chemicals don't bother it, though. If i had to do it over, I'd paint it with a 2 part epoxy paint after sealing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Retired Shop Rat: 14,647 days in a GM plant.
