Belzona Facts
This repair has been in service for 1 year and 5 months so far without any leaks. Welding thinner tin metal like this would have risked burning through and the heat stress would have likely weakened the surrounding area potentially causing further leaks over time. The application of Belzona 1111 was inexpensive, quick, and with the NSF certification it is safe for use in a livestock watering system.
