Topic: Prep techniques for Kreem liner

[kine8282]

I know that alot of people have their opinions about Kreem but I've had some great success with it before. The questions I have is tips on prepping the tank. I currently only have the Kreem Liner bottle and so do not have the other prep bottles. I'm working with a new tank tha the fabricator washed the insides with a thin flim to prevent flash rust until I line the tank.

What can i use to etch the tank and what can I use to get rid of the water and start using the Kreem? I've read people using MEK but does that also etch and get rid of the access water so that I can apply the Kreem liner?

I use RedKote (which is actually blue now), except I substitue straight acetone for the MEK.
Much less hazardous to your health than MEK.
Allowing MEK , or in fact any almost any solvent, to evaporate after use is considered to be poor form, in a Green sense.
