that's it !

thanks fellas!

no problem

I just hopped on this thread but I'm dying to know is line-x not waterproof. And if you were to encapsulate this tank after being etched/primed and coated in line-x what would fail? If the line-x is a pure polyurea and can't absorb moisture I would see no problem. My guess is the rhino that fell off was a hybrid and may not have been prepped properly. I have personally sprayed aluminum tanks since 1999 and have yet to see a failure on a well prepped tank. Not all line-x is a pure polyurea so you would have to find a dealer near you that does a lot of light industrial work. There are over 100 different types of line-x products finding an applicator that applies the proper coating for the application is what you need. Line-x xs-350 is the product to look for. If you have any questions let me know. Pricing for a 100 gallon tank $275-$350 depending on dealer and what material they have in their lines. Changing over each way is about $75 of product loss. So if your interested you might have to wait a week or two. Good luck

Pulp Fiction.

Quotable.

Ospho. Its an acid based product so be careful about what you get it on.

Most procedures I have seen also add washing with detergent as the first step to remove tooling oil from when the aluminum is rolled. Also there are many different etching chemicals you could use. I personally have a gallon of Alumiprep that cost a fortune which I bought to prep an aluminum mud boat. If you can, try to find something locally because if you end up having to pay hazardous materials fees to ship the stuff it costs $$$ that could be better used elsewhere. The stuff goes a long way since they are often concentrated and require adding water so get a small container of it if you can and any old spray bottle to go with it. Make sure you rinse the stuff off well enough because it is acid.

update: Just noticed that somebody had posted a link to the West version at JD. The price looks quite a bit more reasonable than what I paid although it is for a much smaller portion. I wonder about their shipping.
