That was a brilliant video. Always love the material science take on things too. I swear by citric acid. I know the yanks bang on about evapo rust, you can stick that stuff up your arse as far as I am concerned, citric acid all the way. That was indeed a classic example of filiform or intergranular corrosion on the tank. The tank is a testament to its makers really. As you say it should have lasted until 1965, it has lasted 66 years so just about 10 times longer than it was intended to. Great film, congratulations on 1000 subscribaaaaaaaahzzz like.
Top job as always, nicely prepared for the next stages. It was great to catch up at our annual Stafford pilgrimage, absolutely fantastic to reach over 1000 subs 👍
Hi Mate........you sounded just like my structural repair instructor! Great work and that paint removal didn't turn up any really nasty issues, which is always nice. It's good to get a good run at things at times without too many issues and things will progress well. I use UPOL stuff too at times. It's great quality. 1000 subscribers is well deserved and true justification of your efforts.....
Thanks Bones, I was surprised myself about how good it was under the paint. There's a reason I sound like that.......you know! Hope all is well with you mate. Best wishes, Dean.
That came out well Dean. I used to use the origonal Nitromors , which I think is banned these days. Hope the end result is good. Well done on the 1000 subs too. Steve.
eyup Dean As usual great thorough job, and very informative chemistry lesson, well i learned something👍👍👍👍👍👍 Is Stafford still as busy, i haven't been for over 10 year see you next time atb Kev
It was better than I thought it would be Dale. No leaks so far from the solvents I've had inside, the liner will safeguard it further. Best wishes, Dean.
I used nitromors 30 years ago scratch the paint paint it on wash off in 10 mins all the paint would just rinse off. Nice video wish I could get hold of that paint stripper I have a few projects that could use it. Congrats on the 1K subs.
You might be able to get it, search for Methylene Chloride paint stripper. Things might be stricter in Spain, I'm not sure. Glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes, Dean.
@@retromechanicalengineer Will give it a go but its strange here I can buy nitric acid here in the supermarket sulfuric acid 60% in the ironmongers but you have to sign and produce id for paraffin and paint stripper is a no no.
Really nice job on that tank Dean. And I always learn something from each video. Many thanks.
Cheers, Peter.
Thanks Peter. Best wishes, Dean.
Wow great results from the citric acid bath . Good work Dean !!😮😊
Thanks Larry. It does work well.
Best wishes, Dean.
Nice job thanks for sharing ....and keeping bantams alive
Thanks Nigel. It's nostalgia, I remember my Grandad's bikes when I was a child.

Thanks very much. I'm a big proponent of the citric tank. Cost effective too. Best wishes, Dean.
Looks good.
I think you've found yourself a bit of a jewel there Dean.
Thanks Jack. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be a lot more work.
Top job as always, nicely prepared for the next stages. It was great to catch up at our annual Stafford pilgrimage, absolutely fantastic to reach over 1000 subs 👍
Thanks Ade. Looking forward to our next jaunt. I'm pleased with the tank, it could have been horrendous under the paint. Best wishes, Dean.

Interesting video, plenty of detail on the chemistry involved, everyday is a school day!
Well done on 1k subs.
Thanks Ian. Best wishes, Dean.

Cheers Steve, this stuff is as good if not better than the old Nitromoors. It certainly did the job. Best wishes, Dean.
eyup Dean
As usual great thorough job, and very informative chemistry lesson, well i learned something👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is Stafford still as busy, i haven't been for over 10 year
see you next time

Kev
Thanks Kev, class dismissed! Glad you enjoyed it. Stafford was rammed, much bigger show than last year. Best wishes, Dean.
Man I hate that job, you made it look easy. It is rewarding when it's all done........and it doesn't leak. LOL
It was better than I thought it would be Dale. No leaks so far from the solvents I've had inside, the liner will safeguard it further. Best wishes, Dean.
Thankyou very much for info, l have tried jenolite solution and molasses solution, next time citric solution for sure. Alex
Thanks Alex, you'll get a result from it. It's fairly cost effective too. Best wishes, Dean.

@@makerepairbin there doesn't seem to be much sense in REACH. The company I used is Steyer. Worth a go. Best wishes, Dean.

Ever dependable, Cain. Did you spot your tee shirt again?

@@retromechanicalengineer yes I did.
