Waterproof printing in PETG

 

I wish to print watertight containers, so I bought a roll of PETG after reading that it was suitable per the Prusa product page description below

But my prints are not watertight and I can find no further information on the Prusament.com or here at Prusaprinters.org.  

 

(FYI THIS the best info I've found about watertight 3D printing.)

I'll be grateful for any guidance.  Thank you.

Waterproof prints

Because of the very good layer adhesion, the PETG prints are suitable for waterproof applications.

I printed some floats for a garden fountain using PETG Prusament.

Initially is was a "Titanic fountain" 🙁 

I ended up with 5 perimeters and  +5% extrusion and that worked fine.
