get yourself a hatchet iron and solder it. I did this for Russell when he was on his grand tour of the UK. Still holding up I believe .
I learned a new technique whilst watching Robert solder a crack in this tank. The solder failed to 'bridge' for some reason perhaps surface tension or impurities rising up through the crack. He laid a new piece of copper wire along the crack and presto the solder climbed up and over. First learned on a kettle in his youth ... I believe.
regards Russell
