i filled mine with clean shingle and shook it for ages. one i did hear was to put nuts and bolts in wrap the tank in an old duvet and let it spin in a cement mixer.

I've always used Por15 in the past with good results. Trying something different this time.
Have got a nasty lc tank full of rust and pinholes. After talking to my painter he suggested chemically stripping the tank to remove rust and paint then welding up the pinholes. It is then zinc plated inside and out.
Should get it back in a couple of weeks. Will post results.

Hib Col, yes I think it is the place in Preston. Did the tank he showed you look ok? Also with your experience, what do you think about the paint sticking?
