So basically what you guys are telling me is to wear clothes I don't care about, because I'm messy as all hell.
Clothes you don't care about, long sleeves, and rubber gloves. I have some shirts and pants with POR-15 on them from 7 or 8 years ago. Been through the wash 30-40 times, covered in grease and grime, and POR-15 still holding on. I can foresee a time in the future when the fabric is all gone, except for swatches of POR-15 paint chips.
If/when my tank shows signs of "going south" that's what Im going to do. I like the idea of the extra capacity and don't want to mess w/ a 40 yr old tank or any revival chemicals. Hell - for a 100 bucks or so I can't see going any other way.
