I didn't go out to the shop until late in the afternoon as a trip to town was needed to try to get a new microwave oven for my mother's house where I am staying. It went out a few days ago but they had to order it for mid-November delivery. Also wanted another small workbench like the one I bought when here in July but none there and none on their Website!
I did finally manage another coat of gas tank sealer and see what appears to be little pinholes missed by the first thin coat so glad I did it! Since most of the pinholes were on top, I am letting it cure upside down and will do a couple more coats too. I got smart this time and did it outside when the last time it took days to get rid of the fumes! It was too hot then to do anything outside but the weather is perfect this time.
The original kit used the last time came with a quart of sealer but this tank is large so only a couple tablespoons came out when I drained it. This time I poured in a whole gallon and it and used about another quart with the rest drained back into the can. This is the Hirsch sealer which according to their documents can be saved for future use after the can is open while the POR products apparently cannot be saved.
