I used the stripper from POR-15 to strip a tank after sealing it. Spray
it on and wipe the old paint off. The painter was shocked at
how clean the tank was.

I sealed another tank prior to that one that developed a crack and had
to be welded. What a disaster ! The POR-15 burned off in the weld area
and when I contacted POR-15 to ask if I could re-seal the tank they said
"I dont know " what a great world of knowledge they are. Then they said
"they didnt think so"

In the future I would send any tank I care about to Moyer Gas Tank
Repair.

Hello All,

I got the kit but did not used it yet because of some questions;

1) Can anyone who used it, please give additional uselful tips???

2) Also, as I plan to first bring my Ambo to driving condition, I was
wondering if applying the kit first would create any problems later on,
when I'll decide to repaint the tank professionally ???
My concerns are particulrly with the pre-paint preparation; if I use the

kit first, for example, I do not think I will let the tank be oven baked

to remove the old paint.... Sand blasting will probably put too many
pits and too aggressive... So my MAIN QUESTION: Is there another
process for paint prep that will not hurt the sealing kit, something
like a strong paint stripper solution or other proccess ??? Any
recommendations & tips welcomed...

Thanks a lot for the great help

Charles
