Why not layup some flat panels using epoxy and then cut to shape and tape
the seams.

Subject: lv-ab: Holding tank material
I need to build a new holding tank. Ideally, I'd use a plastic one. it's a
custom shape, though, so that isn't an option. So, the question is, what
material should it be?
Aluminum isn't even remotely an option. The original aluminum ones didn't
last but a few years. The aluminum replacement I made didn't last much
longer. Fiberglass isn't a good option, as I lined the replacement with
fiberglass and it didn't hold up well.
So, is stainless a good choice? I have no experience to rely on, but I doubt
it. How about monel? (Did I spell that right?) Is Monel something I can
weld with my TIG? Never worked with it.
Other suggestions?
