My blackwater tank had a lot of cracks in the bottom. I didn't do the repair,
but it was done with fiberglass (resin and cloth) and has been fine now for 6
years.
In my case the cracks were due to the heater being left on with empty tank.

Also of some importance is that silicone "oils" the surface such that nothing
else will stick in most cases, so scraping-removal to expose new ABS is
critical.

Well, I actually didn't ask for repair ideas at first on WOG. Maybe I should have. We are pretty stressed out.
