Windshield Repair kit, either DO IT YOURSELF or call someone that does it.

I have used clear epoxy before. Put a piece of tape on the outside and fill the depression. I bet that whatever the windshield guys use would probably dry clearer though.

I've got 5 holes in a blue tinted 10 gallon Fry 117 cylinder. I was planing on using a windshield repair kit but am going to practice first on some window panes. Thanks, Dave

W/o the matching tint, they will still show. Just not as bad as leaving them.

I'm going to experiment with adding a little blue Rit dye to the resin. Dave

Dave I'll come get the cylinder and use it on my 117 and you will not have to worry about it. It will not look good on a gulf pump anyway. LOL Jamie
