The rebirth of Lazarus
mickwinf:
the problem with the lining process is flash rusting before I can dry the tank out to line it. will try today.
Johnny4428:
Race between heat and rust!😳 Hot water flush might speed up the drying?
mickwinf:
Some more progress, tank has been lined with a two pack liner and painted with a layer of clear, then the stripes applied. Will lacquer over in next few days and finish the side panels. Almost there!
DomP:
I used phosphoric acid to strip mine after first using electrolysis, it's meant to stop flash rusting. I'll be honest I've not looked at it in a while😬
mickwinf:
Exciting times, tank is painted and back on bike, one side panel has to be re done as I screwed it up. Some final things to do, chainguard is one of them as the original one is bent out of shape. I do have a 550 f chrome one but the chrome is beyond repair, but would paint up ok so might use that. Today I insured it so on the road soon!
