Good to see you posting mate! Did you get the tank done by the local guys or Lance sort it all for you?

Can I be rude and ask how much that cost? PM would be fine if you dont want to say here.... I just know Jason and I are both wondering how best to deal with our holey tanks :/

Thanks mate. I reckon thats pretty ok really. I asked about dipping with a non acid dip at redistrip and they wanted $150+gst just for that. Someone priming the outside isnt huge money but its also not free of course and flowing a liner and guranteeing it eats up the rest for sure, the KBS liner kit on its own with post is almost $100 now.

in hind sight i should have given it to collide o scope... once you add tank prep, fiber glass repairs, decals, etc blasting frame... it would have been cheaper or same and done in fast time.... hind sight is a funny thing... never mind....

moving on...
