Hope you have a 12 pack. Yellow are the worst. Unfortunately I have 2 of Steding's "Safe Air" 40's and some al6's...all yellow epoxy. I'd rather watch Lawrence Welk.

I got some motivation last week, but lost it fast after doing 2 yellow 80's.

I'm on my fourth day of applying goop. The plastic I had under the tank melted and now there's a big bald spot on my (rented) garage floor.

Tank you. Tank you. Turn off the bubbla machine.

So what is the deal with the yellow? When I sprayed it down with the stripper they yellow came off real easy. Then under that there is some white primer I think. Seems like the stripper won't penetrate it. Whats the secret?

Feed it more dollar bills my boy... many many more dollar bills.

Get some toxic gel stripper and just let it sit.
