Title: How do you fill in holes in a liner? Post by: brasskey on February 20, 2011, 06:58:03 pm My liner has some holes in it due to the water fountain that was installed on the side. These holes are only 1/4", but if I'm going to take the liner out anyway, are there any tips to filling these holes? Will bondo work?

The holes on the outside are the biggest concern. If you cant weld them, bevel the edges, then bond a backing behind them before filling with bondo. Title: Re: How do you fill in holes in a liner?

I plan on pulling it and giving it a good clean since I'm repainting the body, but I wouldn't think replacing the tank would be necessary. It's also not a common tank so it would have to be a custom job and not worth it just for a few holes.

If you cant weld them, bevel the edges, then bond a backing behind them before filling with bondo. I'll see if I can push the edges back in once I pull it. They seem to be pretty clean holes so there may not be much metal on the other side. Thanks for the tip.

But like glen said plug it, I would get two stainless steel screws and bolt them from the inside . Title: Re: How do you fill in holes in a liner?
