'85 White Plastic Tank - How do you get it white again? | Page 2

Hi everyone,

As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

Thanks for your patience and support!

It looks like I forgot to post the before and after pics (outside of project posts) of my tank.

So here they are.

I used a tank seal product from:

http://www.tankcareproducts.co.uk/index.htm

Give him a call if you are unsure. It looks like they have updated their products. I bought mine about 6 months ago.

Once cleaned up and sealed I used Krylon White Satin finish spray to get it back white. No a bad finish.

I haven't tried bleaching a tank but I do have a spare one I could try it on. When I have some time I will try it and will post the results.
