COATING A USED TANK

The procedure is the same as with a new tank, with the exception that you remove the Tankkd label before starting and ensure that all zinc salts have been removed by properly preparing the tank as described.
!!! Coating a tank ensures that you can enjoy the tank for longer and that you get less rust from acids and chemicals. Of course, this coating is not eternal and you will have to reapply it after a certain time. Also, a coating cannot withstand sharp objects like any paint.
With tanks that have already been used, the coating will give the tank a new look and you can continue to enjoy your stock tank for quite some time.
TANKKD BV IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PREMATURE LOOSENING OF THE COATING DUE TO INCORRECT APPLICATION OR USE.
