If I recall the process has 3 steps. There is a step where you use acid to clean the inside so be careful. I threw a handful of nuts and bolts in the tank to help dislodge any rust during the acid step while agitating and flipping the tank. Make sure its sealed well. Then I believe the next step was a phosphate solution and after that the latex. It was a bit laborious but totally doable.</div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Saturday, June 4, 2016 1:21 PM, Andrew Uprichard <auprichard@uprichard.net> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9114729933"><style><!--
