Epoxy Gas tank Sealer(THE ONLY TWO PART EPOXY SYSTEM
THAT I KNOW OF):

I Just removed my gas tank and it has very fine rust
dust on the inside walls. I dont want to buy a new
"Made in Taiwan" gas tank thats been poorly
painted/coated, and I also dont want to buy an $800 VW
OEM/dealer gas tank.


SO I think Im left with only one option, and thats
restoring the old tank. I think Ill use the Oxysolve
(just Like POR-15 metal ready) then Ill let dry and
coat with the two part Epoxy listed above, since Epoxy
sticks to anything and is tough as nails. Ill post the
results.
