What is the best paint(s) for use inside a tender's water tank and what are the sources? I remember using an Apexior product a number of years ago Thanks, Ray |

I was back to bare metal. I was advised to try coaltar-epoxy paint made by Rust-olum and others. The key is the coal tar, it is not affected by water, Apexior #2 is asphalt that seems to be affected by water. http://www.themachineryworks.com hgorin@ix.netcom.com |
