JB Weld or ? Quick Water Tank Fix

Is there another recommendation besides JB Weld for a quick fix water tank leak? The leak is on the part/where valve goes into the tank. Someone also suggested 3M Panel Bond, but this is over $130 with application gun. Thank you
  • Black ABS? plasti-mend
    White polyethylene? Probably need a plastic welder.

    JB Weld? I don't recommend it for this.
  • Have to decide if $130 fixed and problem cured is less than a cheaper maybe not fixed as well fix? How many times do you want to try to fix it with less than perfect materials? Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and buy the best product you need. Maybe a cheaper system will work, don't know. I just like to fix things once.
