Sealing up a rubbermaid?

[Euclid]

I've got 2 small holes (a little smaller than a dime) in the bottom of a rubbermaid storage container that I'd like to use to hold water. It'd be holding about 10g. How could I seal these up without having to worry about leaks?

finger... LOL J/K Why dont you just go buy new ones there only like couple of bucks at walmart..

I've been using Loctite Extreme Repair (100% silicone, aquarium safe) for projects like that. Good stuff, IMO.

well i guess as long as it's 100% silicone, the brand really doesn't matter. but...

i would not use it Cody, they may be smaller than a dime, but they are still risky. take it from someone who's had several major water disasters. they are tons and tons and tons of not fun.

Best bet is to buy a new container without any holes.

Silicone is great and all, but for plugging holes in the bottom pane of a container, you are risking it big time.

again like i said in another thread and like everyone else says

new plastic container = $10

or

wet dry vac = $35
+
us telling you we told you so 8) = priceless

also wouldnt the cost of the silicone etc for the repair cost about the same as a new one??

I picked up a grey Sterilite 18 gallon for just under $4. at walmart yesterday... the totes are cheap.. so why risk a leak?

I think his car payment may be hampering the ability to buy it! LOL. Sweet car Cody!

well... if that's the case... use the silicone if you already have it and just keep the tote in the bath tub! Lol..
