Going to be making a temporary Resevoir, any thoughts on what type of epoxy I should use? I heard someone give a type before, but I can't remember it :(

For a temp res, anything will work. JB weld is good if you want it to never come off or move at all, or any kind of epoxy for that matter, but goop is good for barbs and stuff if you might change it eventually.

I usually use Megaloc for any thread applications. We use that stuff in our high pressure freon systems to help contain thread leaks.
 
I want to know, what offers such pretty seams. you see on professional reseviors, I know thats not temp, but permanant I mean. what offers pretty, invisible joints.

My guess is some UBER clear epoxy. Not sure of the type though
 
Yea all they use is a clear epoxy. When my buddy built his res he did it out of Plexiglass and sealed it all up with marine expoxy (clear).

Looks good and never had a problem with it.
