    We tested the systems to 200 PSI and cycled them thousands of times, these tanks had a diameter from 48" to 10' and lengths from 4' to 12', there were also other non pressurized tanks that were larger. These were large systems, many near you. I installed systems at SeaWorld in Orlando and the Florida Aquarium (Tampa Bay Aquarium), plus several irrigation filtration systems throughout FL.

    The bond was good enough to pull chunks of PVC and/or glass fibers from the laminate.

    I'm not saying that I would use PVC for a hull panel, only that the bond was OK.

    Do you think west systems Epoxy resin would work the same as the polyester resins you used in the past?

    No idea, we didn't test epoxies.
