good idea with the bands.
I spaced the wire location out close to equally & drilled a hole where I wanted a joint to be. I pushed one end of the wire through & bent it back so it would stay tight when pulled. I wrapped the other end around & did the same while pulling it tight & put a drop of epoxy on the inside of the tank to keep the ends from comeing back out. used a very small drop of a fantastic super glue by Loctite a control gel. I am very pleased with this glue,tip stays clean & does not harden, good aplicator & it's a gel. any questions give me a holler.

That loctite gel is good stuff, I used a lot of it on the surry parkers (your unique logging equipment, in the logging /minning area). I just bought another bottle of the stuff, as my last hardened up, the aplicator has the best controll in acc I've ever messed with.
I like the idea if drilling a hole to ancor the bands, I have a 30 year old scratchbuilt tank, whose bands have mostly fallen off, I'll try this method on the replacements, and see how long they last.
Thanks for the idea, sounds good
