[RE-wrenches] Acid containment

[Benn Kilburn]

Allan,
How would you deal with a seam that happens to lay within the containment area?  Do you seal/adhere it somehow? With what?   Or do you find that you can get the liner sheets large enough that you just 'stuff it in' (for lack of a better term), and then in the corners do you just double it over to make a tight fit? Or make cuts in the corners...?
Thanks,
Benn Kilburn

I was surprised by their response that the acrylic was not impervious to acid and polyethylene would not work because sealants nor caulking adhere to it properly.  They did not have anything that would work.
