Part 1:Motorcycle Rust Removal and Resoration using a Kreem Kit Part 1

Here is a very neglected 1974 Honda gas tank! Heavily rusted with minor pinhole leaks at the seams.
This is a demonstration (Part 1 of 6) video series of tank prep and sealing this abused metal tank. The end result was a tank that is usable and original to my old 1974 Honda XL 100. Hope it's helpful to you.

The Kreem product is acetone based. After I washed mine with detergent/ nuts and bolts mixture a few times, Yes, I wanted to ensure all of the scaled rust was out. I didn't have a scope to see inside of the tank. I placed it on my patio for a day to allow the water to evaporate thoroughly. Then, I bought an extra can of acetone to rinse it out. Then I applied the kit as instructed. I let the tank bake in the hot sun for a week, until I could not smell anymore product. Good stuff.

I used soap, MEK and gravel.

Did many doses of the gravel before the soap and MEK.

I would shake it till the the gravel was red dump rinse them dry them and repeat.

Took 3 days till the rust wouldn't come off to my touch.
