James Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I just finished, sealing my gas tank, with the 'Cycle Tank Sealer', on my 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC Seems to be a great product by the way. 2 Thumbs ! There seems, to be a bit, that has gotten on the male threaded nipple for the petcock connection. I don't want to buy an entire, quart, for this one location, is there an alternative, to cleaning off these threads ? Maybe a wire brush disc? Gently use a Tap & Die kit, on the nipple? Does anyone, know what size or type of threads, these might be ? Suggestions :) Thanks !

KBS Coatings Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 You can try to wire wheel it down so the threads are usable again. KBS Strip also works but if you have a stripper that contains Methylene chloride, you could use that as well. Please let us know if that helps and if you have any other questions.

AG1911 Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 How would a person protect the threads prior to coating? Grease? Quote Link to comment https://success.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2359-petcock-threads/#findComment-5626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, grease the threads as Tank Sealer will not adhere to a surface that has grease on it. Please reach out if you have any additional questions.
