[SEL] Wooden spray tank repair.

[David Rotigel]

Hi Ron,
	What are you using the tank for? What's the problem with a little bit  
of arsenic? Like DDT arsenic was used for years and did a VERY good  
job of doing what it was intended to do. If, on the other hand you  
intend to use the tank for drinking water I can see the problem.
