No where in Calgary seems to have them when I looked, you'll likely have to order them.

After using hakko I'll never go back to weller. Consider the FX-888, not digital but who cares, less than $100 local and a great iron.

The part that's leaking is where the impeller housing mates with the motor housing, probably just a oring or something that's not provided a great seal. It's pretty minor, just a slight build up of...

Black acrylic would make a LOT more sense but as stated Krylon is safe and works well for plastic. As for sides, paint the inside not the outside of the overflows.

oh one last thing to consider, this is a forum and offers no accountability. If the tank crashes through your floor you can't say "but the guys on the interweb said it would be fine". :mrgreen:
