What kind of tank?

Also, post some pictures. I re-seal tanks all of the time. If I saw what you were working with, I may be able to make a few suggestions.

From what I can see in these photos, there is no reason to reseal this tank.

Are there specific areas of concern? Maybe you could provide closeups of those areas. Also a full tank shot helps.

You could also fill it with water, leave it in a garage and watch it for a week to see how it holds up.

I see the spots you are speaking of, and I don't feel there is anything to be worried about.
