Well I just finished the last of my acid with the tank completely full and got all the rust out. I put it in the sun with the shopvac on blow and the tank upside down on some sawhorses and dried it out in less than a half hour, but it instantly flash-rusted.

So is that normal? (asking the non-sealer guys, considering the rest of you are crazy about cleaning and sealing it with the kit). |
