I actually haven't tried this before, but all I need is something to strucurally support the epoxy. It should work. The fiberglass will 'fill' the hole and the tank coating will seal it from ever seeing any gas. I'll sand the figleglass smooth and spray some paint on it. With it being the bottom of the tank, it should be virtually undetectable. I've used the Kreem on a couple of bkies before with really good results. I'll do the acid etch on the inside of the tank before applying the fiberglass and then use the epoxy after the fiberglass dries.
