Applied 3 coats of Permadri Rubber Coat over the Ken fix. Applying some more coats tonight and tomorrow night then I'll be done. I'll reveal the Ken fix after the test fill. I just don't want to jinx it.

Say a little prayer. Bulkhead is tightened (by hand) and hose is in the tank running. I took the advice of backing off the bulkhead, wetting the gasket, the tank wall, and the bulkhead then tightened it. Put some newspaper down as a water indicator near the bulkhead. It'll take about an hour to get the bulkhead covered, so I'll update then.
Water is above the bulkheads and the paper is dry. Trying to get the water level up to the window and over the bottom frame where I'll stop filling for the night and see how that goes. That's where the leak was from the screw mishap. Above 30 inches, if you recall, is where the mystery leak has happened in the past, so just above 30 inches will be the stopping point for a waiting period tomorrow. If that's all good, then we'll go up a foot at a time then wait.
Water is above bottom frame and 2" on to window. Time to shut off the water for the night. Everything is dry.
