cracked toilet tank

[rosetree]

I have a slightly cracked cracked toilet tank which has a slow drip leak. The crack is in the corner of the tank and does not extend to any of the openings in the bottom. Before going to the trouble of replacing the tank would it possible to apply something over the crack inside the tank to stop the leakage and prevent further cracking? If so, what would you suggest? Thanks

As a Plumber I say get a new one , weve tried to fix them but it doesnt allways work. As well once you get a crack in it you loose all its strength. The slightest tap and down she comes. : : I have a slightly cracked : : cracked toilet tank which has a : : slow drip leak.
