    Tank #2 turned out nice, did it over the weekend.
    UV light was on non stop from Friday 3.30 pm till 5.30 am Monday, just kept fresh goop on it and rotate about 6 to 8 hours.

    Do you guys do the other plastics with the 40 salon cream too?

    I usually paint the frames with rustolium gloss white. But I purchased the VHT WHITE GLOSS from JEGS. It's heat proof, gas proof.

    I think he sands the tanks with progressively finer wet and dry paper.
