After fighting with seam sealer for while (it's sad when the best tool to remove that crap is a chisel) the last time I worked on my project I started wondering about having it dipped. So I really have two questions...
-Is there any place in the midwest/mountain states that will dip my teener? -How much does this cost? Thanks! |

I looked for a dipper in Colorado, and came up with zip. It will cost you anywhere between $1000-5000, depending on how much work you do ahead of time. For example, the dipper my tub went to (in California) did not want any seam sealer on the tub. They don't want it in their tanks. If you remove it, great. If not, they charge you $75 and hour to do it. That's one of the factors that could drive the costs up. Then they need to do something to prevent it from rusting immediately. Rust prevention or primer or...
And BTW, you're using the wrong tool for seam sealer removal. Get a heavy 4" cup brush on a 4" grinder. Works like a champ. No hassle, minimal work on your part, takes the stuff right off. Attached image(s)
