Just walk out to the shop and checked it was JB Weld. My be the type of plastic but I haven't saw anything that stuff would not stick to.

I've never had success trying to mend a plastic tank Maynard. Hate to say, but next to impossible to get to hold.
I kinda figured that might be the answer,I guess I'll have to try to find a tank.

The only epoxy that may work would be the fuel proof modeling epoxy but I don't know how long it would hold for. If you were to go that route you would want to use some fiberglass cloth and drill a few tiny holes on either side of the crack for the epoxy to get into to help hold then lay the cloth over it and spread a little more epoxy over the cloth.
See ,the biggest problem is getting it to stick to that plastic that the tank is made of.Do you have the name of that modeling epoxy ?

You would have to get the epoxy at a hobby shop or online. I don't remember the names of them as it has been a while since I had the r/c planes. The biggest thing would be to use rough grit sandpaper or something to score the plastic tank with to give the epoxy something to grab. Which is also why I said about drilling small holes on either side of the crack. The modeling epoxy stays a little flexible to which would help with not cracking. It is worth a try if you want to give it a go. Worse case scenario is you will still have to throw the tank away and you will have modeling epoxy if you ever decide to get in to flying the r/c planes LOL
I guess it is worth a try,I'll see what happens,thanks.

The suggestion about using a patch is a good one as well.
The kit came with a detailed instruction booklet and a DVD. If you want, I can pull out the booklet and we could see what might work. I am not familar with a Cub tank so I need more information.
Never give up-:smile1: Jack
