Twice as good?  Personally, I would not use Red Kote, heard of too many failures.

Just buy the small version if doing 1 tank.

I have used Red-Kote lot's of times and it has always been great;I made sure to completely follow the directions(and the best 'prep' I could) plus give it as much time/heat to cure fully.

I found this on EBay.CA from a seller in Australia, Red-Kote Dry

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/REDKOTE-FUEL-TANK-LINER-FUELTANK-RED-KOTE-RED-KOTE-PETROL-DIESEL-TANK-/112191840021?hash=item1a1f279f15:g:hnwAAOSwKOJYGlpJ&vxp=mtr
Just add acetone and follow the instructions it says.

Apparently you can order directly from the seller: http://ftrs.com.au/redkote/dry.php

But I can't find it anywhere else on the web, not even on the Damon Industries website.
http://damonq.com/red-kote.html


on the Red-Kote site is does say:
In Canada Red-Kote and Over-Kote are imported by Taalman Engineered Products.
https://taalmanusa.com/   but it doesn't come up using their search tool, maybe call them?

AFA Kreeme goes, I purchased the kit and followed the directions and it's held up fine for over 20 years.

I was on the Genny ale kick back in the 70's.   Fortunately for me I got off the excessive habit in the 80's

Me too!  A short time in early  20th a bar had draft Genesee.  It had the side effect  of the longest  most intense fats I have ever had!  Like 2 minutes long.
