WaterRower - Rowing Machine - Tank repair

Hi All,
So my indoor exercise has come to a halt with my WaterRower tank springing a leak around the seam

Now the glue kit is about £35 for 55ml and I wonder whether clear CT1 sealant adhesive would do the job just as well or even better? Anyone had any experience fixing one of these?

Your "CT1 sealant adhesive" is sealant in the first place with same adhesive properties, not glue.

All depends on the design and on what exactly you call "seam".

The glue kit is a 2 part (epoxy type) adhesive, comes with a fine nozzle to allow the runny glue to seep into the seam. Its very quick setting and once it sets It is much more rigid than silicone types.

have tried silicone, instant gasket stuff and the like but failure 

Its a job to get it all dismantled for seam resealing and them reassemble, there great machines and the kit is worth it !

Many thanks. Seems like this will be the best way to do it. Yes, the glue is runny and will be drawn into the seam via capillary action. Well, I don't want the hassle of doing it all just for it to fail with silicone , so will just buy the recommended epoxy glue.

Many thanks to all for the replies
