October 10, 2025Oct 10 comment_10021 Per your website, I ordered a 1 gallon kit to coat an 80 gallon air compressor tank. I used all of the KBS Klean as well as almost the entire gallon of KBS Rust Blast. However when I sealed the tank I drained out almost the entire gallon of KBS Gold Standard Tank Sealer. Perhaps a pint stayed inside the tank. Is this normal procedure and if so why is so much recommended.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 comment_10022 Yes, that can be normal. Look inside the tank and report back if all sides of the inside of the tank are coated. How much Tank Sealer should drain out of the tank (after patient, proper prepping) is VERY dependent on the surface area of the inside of the tank and the surface coarseness of the inside of the tank.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Author comment_10023 It appears to be well coated but I would value your professional opinion. It just seems like such a waste of product seeing as it cannot be stored and reused.

October 13, 2025Oct 13 Author comment_10036 I appreciate your feedback. Do you feel the 96 hour waiting period should be sufficient for drying? Also can the KBS Gold Standard Tank Sealer be used to seal exterior rust on objects such as truck frames etc. Thank you Link to comment https://success.kbs-coatings.com/topic/7261-how-much-product-should-remain-in-the-tank/#findComment-10036 Share on other sites Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

This takes into account a wide array of environmental conditions. 3 minutes ago, KyCarNut said: Also can the KBS Gold Standard Tank Sealer be used to seal exterior rust on objects such as truck frames etc. Yes, Tank Sealer and RustSeal are similar with Tank Sealer being lightly pigmented. For a surface that is hidden from UV under the vehicle, Tank Sealer can be used on a prepped surface to provide rust protection. Brush on thin coats and at least two coats. Please reach back out with any additional questions.
