Not really true that MOST epoxies can be thinned for spraying.

Epoxy, in the cured state, is hard and brittle.
The thing that gives it strength and flexibility is the matrix
that it is used with.

By itself it's pretty useless for this kind of repair job.

There was an epoxy for fixing gas tanks I used maybe 20 years ago. got it at
the autoparts store. A putty type you kneaded to mix.



It's still a patch though, Bill.
100 miles off shore is not the same as pulling over on the side of the road.
And a few hundred gallons of fuel in the bilges pretty much ruins dinner.
