Need help making a hillbilly hot tub!

Hello all! It's my first time posting here after lurking for years.

Basically I'm going to put a steel trash can into a swimming pool and light a fire in it, and need some help making it waterproof!

My first test was with exhaust sealant paste around the seams, this worked well until the paste got wet and disintegrated (I only applied it to the outside though) so I was thinking about adding a layer to the inside which would (should?) have a 2-fold benefit: the heat from the fire would keep the paste hard and waterproof, and the external outer pressure once it's partially submerged should do the rest.

Obviously my first choice would be to weld the seams shut myself but I don't have access to a welding tool as I am on a zero budget.

Any ideas?
