[SEL] Kwik Poly Sealer

[Dave Ernst]

Bought some extra special motorcycle type tank sealer called POR 15. Spendy 
stuff and I followed all the directions and used the wash, primer and then 
the sealer just as I was supposed to.  The last instruction was to drain the 
remainder of the sealer and discard it. No way was I going to waste the 
stuff as the kit was in the $40 range and just the sealer portion was less 
than a 1/4 pint, so I drained it back into the can and sealed it.  About 10 
minutes later there was a big bang as the lid blew off and the stuff 
continued to froth and harden.  The tank is a new one I made for under the 
fairbanks and it leaks also.

Sounds as if Kwik Poly is the one to use.
