Although the glass fiber has excellent performance, it is good in terms of hardness and anti-corrosion, but it also causes water leakage in the glass fiber storage tank due to various reasons. After the glass fiber is damaged, it is mostly replaced in the majority of cases, and it is difficult to correct it. It is usually restored by gluing or hot welding. Here Fiberglass Septic Tank Supplier briefly introduces the repair method of gluing.


(1) Clean the glass fiber storage tank. First, remove the damaged tank, clean it and dry it, and do the prerequisites for correction.
