Anyways.. What have you used to seal inside of tank and i've seen youtube videos of soldering the hole.. Anyone else done it?
I'd post a pic but back in the day it was imageshack that I used.. Dunno what to use these days. Lol.

To be sure, Navigator.
There are a few liner kits out there - lots of people rate POR15 but there's no love for the KREEM kits.BRONX INTRUDER wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:24 am

Thanks brother; pic added.
I wonder if the converters are fluid enough to swish around inside and get out remainder before doing a por15 seal..
Thanks for the soldering tips. Lol.hillsy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 2:31 pmThere are a few liner kits out there - lots of people rate POR15 but there's no love for the KREEM kits.BRONX INTRUDER wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:24 am

But the key to being succesful long term with sealer is removing ALL the rust before any sealing.
I've soldered some pin holes in the past but it was only for fast jobs. Wire wheeled off the surface to expose bare metal then used a big iron and a lot of flux. Helps to keep the area where you're working horizontal![]()
I used this method to knock off the major portion of the Inside Tank Rust. However, this will not get out the rust that is in the teeny-tiny ( pinhole sized and smaller) recesses. To be that thorough, you'd need to Sand/Wire brush the metal.BRONX INTRUDER wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 9:13 amHow about removing all the rust?. Dog choker chain on a rope and let it slide and rattle around as I violently shake the tank? Lol

I used a 24 inch long Sash Chain ( used for replacing Sash Cords on old Double-hung Windows ) Because it has squared-off links, not round-wire,... that have sharp wedges everywhere.
And I put the Tank in a Fluffy Quit and stuck it in my Clothes Dryer ( on Air only) for an hour or two to fully scrape the inside Tank Walls.
Worked like a charm.![]()

Word of caution. If you are going to use the rust converter you need to fix the pinholes first or the heat of soldering will destroy the rust converter.BRONX INTRUDER wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 12:54 pmKool beans..

Perhaps it might be there. It is an item that is used to replace the Sash Balance Weight Cords in the Older Homes (built before about 1950).BRONX INTRUDER wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 12:53 pmLmao!
