Default Dented tank

Good evening all. I'm looking to pick up a tank to put a Baddad.com tank shroud on, as I don't want to ruin my stock tank. My question is, is a tank OK to use if it has a small dent in it? I've heard if a tank has a dent, it needs to be resealed. I'm not sure, and hope someone can clarify. Thanks in advance

Depends on the dent and condition of the sealer. However small it may be, a sharp dent could cause a problem but a shallow smooth dent might not. Best way to tell is to look inside at the affected area. Might require a bore scope if a small mirror won't work.
