Okay, bit the bullet and did a full dent on the 636 tank, ya well it looks like **** right now mainly cuz there's a few creases in it and some holes and cracks.

So I wanna smooth this thing out, first off is patching the holes.. what is a suitable method, using jb weld?

2nd thing would be using body filler, what works well? Bondo?

Thanks.

 

bondo works good fill in and sand out. i will try to get pics of mine up

 

thanks, I'm assuming it would not be a smart idea to use bondo below freezing temperatures? (bike is outside, winter)

 

fill in the holes with a JB weld like compound before u bondo it......and take the tank off and bring it in the house before you do it

 

thanks, jb welding is the plan, can't do the bondo in the house so I'm forced to wait untill it's warmed up to smooth it out.

 

I ment take it in the house until the tank warms up then take it back out side and bondo it

 

Gas tank repair works good has held up for 3 years

 

well it's -14 right now lol! no worries, I'm gonna pick up another tank anyways as I need one for long distance rides. probably do a cut and weld job on it anyways.

 

regular JB weld won't hold up very long. gas will eat through it. then through the Bondo.

get a Gas Tank Repair kit, or empty it and have it welded.

 

Actually.. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get a new tank.. for a couple reasons... argh.
