Tank Coatings and new tank

"Kreem is the worst shit I have ever used. Period."......Punkskalar

For What It's Worth.....:agree: my experience almost exactly.

The only reason I ever used it more than once was that it was the only stuff I knew of to do the job in 1987. Now, there are at least several options of variant technologies, toughness, hardness and ease (or lack thereof) I should say.

Here's some of the later links that relate to options on the subject.......

POR-15 http://www.por15.com/

Gold Standard http://www.kbs-coatings.com/

Novolac http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/epoxygas.htm

As a suggestion and warning.....PLEASE READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY Download copies of all the MSDS sheets involved and take great care regarding ventillation and contact avoidance of involved chemicals and ingredients. There is some very heavy chemistry involved with these products!

Weekender....No, the color switch from the old 'red' color was because the red dye based colorant could be extracted by some fuel additives. Whereas the 'blue' pigment is more stable color contained within the liner polymer. The low VOC version is a different issue I think and not color coded.

Best, Blue

I haven't used Kreem but I think the biggest thing is to let what ever sealer you use CURE. I did mine in the fall hung it above the wood stove for a month painted it and put it on three years ago, all is good. If you coat it and fill it with gas three days later you are asking for trouble.
