    I think you should check out the POR-15 sealer alot better than creme. ive heard the creme causes alot problems down the road. whichever one you use take your time ,read instuctions and follow carfully. I used the POR-15 it took a afternoon and it came out great ,professional looking silver coating. go to POR15.com they got great website.

      Por 15 worked for me !!!! This is not the best time to do one (winter) unless you can make sure to keep a decent temp where ever you do it.
      My tank hand various holes (small but holes nonthe less) and after the tank seal job its' been holding like a sealed tank should.

        Ditto POR 15 for me. I haven´t had the stuff in place for very long but I can tell you it dries rock solid. Its a very durable product and well recommended.

          Caswell epoxy works really well.

            Well having done 4 tanks in the last 5 years I figure I'm some kind of expert. I've used Kreeme, POR-15 and the Caswell epoxy and by far the easiest and best in my mind is the Caswell.

            The Kreme requires very rigid adherence to the instructions to make it work properly. I. e. the tank cleaning must be done pefectly. Kreme seals also don't seem to last long and there are lots of stories of failed installations. POR is somewhat better but still needs a good prep job, which can be time consuming and fiddly.

            The Caswell, being a two part epoxy requires much less fuss and muss as its designed to work best with rust in tanks. Knock off the worst rust lumps, mix and pour in the goop and swirl it around. It will set up in 10 to 15 minutes and you're done. You can even start using the tank right away although a 24 hour cure is recommended. The Caswell product also gives you enough material for 2 tanks for around the same price as the others.

            The tank on my Kat project has been done already with Kreeme and I'm half tempted to redo it with the Caswell but its such a pain to get the old stuff out I'll likely leave it for now.....but I'll keep my eyes on it.

            Hope this helps.

            Cheers,
