Hi folks - on some of my other posts I've been getting help restoring an old wooden, lead-lined cistern.
While the lead looks OK, there are a few suspect patches so while its dismantled and on the bench I'm going to properly waterproof the tank with fibreglass.
Do i need fibreglass matting or can I just paint on the resin?
In either case, how many layers/coats would guarantee a watertight cistern?
I'm looking at eitherthis kit inc. matting
or just the resin alone.
Any tips on application would be great.
