I have one of those 2'x2' white flood trays. It has a crack in it, anybody know the best way to fix it. I was thinking plastic epoxy or tub caulk

When it comes to cracked plastic and water it is best to replace it. You can try epoxy and it may work for awhile. You might try the glue they use for acrylic if it will stick to your type of plastic because it is actually supposed to melt the plastic together and that should make a fairly strong bond. You might try a plastic liner but that is the only things I can think of right now.

You could use a plastic welder with ABS. ;-) It would probably be cheaper to buy another tray though.

Any decent hydro shop should sell an epoxy.

Probably the best thing to do is to find out exactly what the tray is made out of and then see what is recommended to patch it with. I do like the idea of a fiberglass patch though, it should be strong and permanent if it sticks. To help make sure whatever kind of patch you do sticks rough it up with sandpaper before doing anything else.
