IIRC, the guy died a couple of years ago…
Vince is still alive
You’re thinking about Billy Mays who died in 2009.
and I thought I was the master of thread misdirection and silly stuff… @TinWhisperer has shown me up yet again…lol…
there must be a manual on thread misdirection…and I bet he has it…

You have done it again! 
@Lweissman and welcome to the Forum.
It might seem from the response to your post that you’re in the wrong place but …
You are in the right place.
He’s still alive, it was Billy Mays the Oxyclean guy that died. Phil Swift is the pitch man for Flex Seal and also the CEO of the company.
All good lol…
I have used Gorilla brand of this type of tape and have had great luck as long as I am not doing a inside corner.
Should have slapped it onto the inside of the tank!!!

Same forces… more stress on the tape… the demo was about the tape sticking to a wet surface. QED

Black jack roof pitch works too as you can just put some on a glove and smear it down in the water for an instant leak fix. My problem was all the welds in the corners of the pans were so bad those were leaking worse than the joints were. I was almost tempted to get bed spray liner and do the whole thing. I got it plugged with a little black jack though!
your pan had leaking welded corners?..wow…I would have sent Langmuir an email…wait…I did do that when I got my table and one of the pans was a problem…they sent me a new pan without question…
as for using petroleum based products around open flames and high heat…kinda scares me a bit on the possible extra fumes and fire hazard…
by the way…welcome to the forum…

Welcome to The Forum @jake46
You should start a topic and let us know what kind of work you do with your machine and post a few pictures of your projects and set up.
Or we do have a community topic where people post their projects for everyone to see.
We had success with using BLACK RTV Silicone from the Automotive Store. It is HIGH Temp Rated and thinker in the application. Worked great.
Thanks for the welcome! As for the potential of fire using the black jack, I didn’t use that much. I used a water proof grade sealant like the instructions said, but after draining the table twice for fixing cracks, I was over it haha. And yes they say to seal corners. OR, our welds could just be better by weld prep and shielding gas. That’s neither here nor there as I do love the table. Shoulda bought a hypertherm plasma though… not to get off topic. That’s my only regret. I mostly am burning heavier stuff, 3/16” up into 5/8” and 3/4”. Starting to get into signs more and more as I’ve had requests for that.

I tig welded my two halves together on the cf pro. I saw sick of silicone holding a while then leaking hasnt leaked since
If you do not have the ability to tig weld all the joints, I would recommend using BLACK RTV HIGH TEMP Rated Automotive Silicone. Works great.
