Anyone know how to fix this?
PO had it coated with POR-15 and it is now failing and I'm not sure why. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i219.photobucket.com-19045-1451942999.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i219.photobucket.com-19045-1451942999.2.jpg) I emailed the manufacture and they suggested buying a new POR-15 kit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) and using aircraft grade stripper to remove old coating. thanks in advance... |

thanks for the ideas and comments and yes the fact that I have to use Methylene Chloride is the one thing that is worrying me.
I did not think about trying a hot tank, but I had thought about finding a plating company and seeing if they would dip the tank to clean it but not plate it. replacement tank just seems to be to expensive an option ($600) without trying other options first. |
