Bill hirsch tank kit

Post by bobs600honda »

I am on step 2 of 3 , etching.
I followed the instructions and have been drying all day in 100 degree tracy heat. Hooked up the exhaust end of a shop vac and blew hot air through it for a good hour.
Per the instructions, going to wait until tomorrow to start sealer step.
Looking inside the tank, bottom looks white-ish but only about 1/2 way up the side,
Should I get more etch and redo this step or proceed with final step?
Will call bill hirsch in the morning as well to see what he says.

As with almost any job the final result is only as good as the prep before it.   There's no harm in etching it twice IMHO.

Thanks Eric. �I was thinking (and hoping!) that a double dose might do the trick. I will give Bill Hirsch a call tomorrow to see what they have to say. �I am in no hurry in that I want to get this right before I put the tank back in!
Thanks again for your comments.
