Tank sealer removal ?

(1/3) > >>

Russ W.:
Hi all , after 3 weeks of waiting and swilling the tank round and round and upside down , the Caswell tank sealer remover still has not made much impact on the POR15 tank sealer , even though Caswell claim that it should bubble up within 10 minutes . I even put in twice the recommended amount. Have any of you guys any suggestions ? I'm seriously considering a new reproduction tank for £270 , but ideally I would like to keep the original tank.

kevski:
Have you tried nitromors paint stripper.?

Russ W.:
I haven't tried that , but I seem to get the impression when searching forums that ordinary paint stripper isn't strong enough.

Nurse Julie:
I would have thought the previous owner put POR 15 in for a reason, such as a holey, leaky tank and if you do manage to remove it you would still have a tank with holes in.

Russ W.:
The sealer was only put in as a precautionary measure and the tank didn't leak , but the sealer hasn't been applied as per the instructions and has bubbled up in  the bottom .  I really would like to remove it to prevent any rust forming within any of the bubbles .
