Like much of the rest of the country, where I live in N. Central Florida, IT'S HOT!! We've had some pretty good rains over the last several days, not anything as severe as the midwest, but enough to turn things back to green again.
I've begun working on my hobby more in earnest over the past week, (my '64 Corvair convertible). I'm "boiling out" the gas tank using a three-step process of degreasing, etching, and finally coating the interior to get rid of the gum and varnish left behind when a car sits for a long time without being run. The coating process will also help to prevent a similar occurrence in the future. The chemical products I'm using are made by a company called POR-15, Inc., and the sealant chemical carries the same name. Has anyone reading this used these products and with what results. I'd be curious to know.
Another part of the POR-15 product line is a rust-preventer paint. It's three-step process is similar to the gas-tank sealant process, but the third step is the paint rather than just a coating. They claim that when applied correctly, this process totally prevents moisture from ever reaching the metal again and thus prevents any further rusting. It also strengthens the metal itself, even stronger than when new. Again, I'd be curious to hear from anyone who's used it. I'll post my own experiences with it as I move along in the process.
