Default Rookie One Fuel Cell Repair?

As I rebuild/repair my Rookie I, new issues keep cropping up.

The latest issue is that I have found that the Jet-Tech Kevlar fuel cell is damaged. Has anyone repaired one of these?

I'm thinking that it is possible to swish finishing resin inside and apply Hysol to the outside.

Other than that, I'm open to options...including other types of fuel tanks.

Thanks,
Bob

half ounce glass, two layers, with thin CA, just wet it out, and sand smooth. Of course, sand the area prior.
