Joe, I thought about doing as you suggested last night, but chicken out for the reason
you mention……. didn’t want to go one step forward, and two back!
Therefore, I got out the 5″ sanding disc and drill and some Roloc? pads for the
tighter spaces. The 80 grit disc made pretty fast work, plus cleaned and prepped the metal
for painting.
Next I’m going to fill it up with water and check for leaks, and more than likely, will find some.
I couldn’t remember how finely finished the original soldering was done, so I found a couple
of photos before I took it apart. Presume my uncle put that brown laquer primer on it years ago,
just to preserve the tank a little.
Prepare to be boarded!
