[Frameworks] Lomo tank repairs

[Jenelle Stafford]

Thank you so much, Zack & Scott! Prior to your responses, I talked with a
mechanical engineer/fit-it enthusiast (my dad, who would like to know,
numerically, what tensile strength is optimal) and he suggested black 3M
5200 Marine Sealant. Perhaps this will be overkill, but it was inexpensive
and it's applied & curing now. Zack, you had me wondering about the high
heat, since I also do color processing, but I believe the 5200 is rated to
190 F (88 C). I will certainly keep both of your suggestions in mind if
this fix doesn't take!
