Another question for those who have gone=20 before.

The L360 manual which I am using, in the section on= the=20 header tank construction, says that I may seal the inside of the tank with= =20 primer and then tank sealer (=E2=80=9CPRC 1422=E2=80=9D is suggested), or &= nbsp;with =E2=80=9Ctwo=20 thick coats of resin=E2=80=9D (page 11-34).

I am interested in what others have found to be the= best=20 way to go. As I live in Australia, the resin option is much easier than=20= importing the sealer. However, I suspect there may be more to this decisio= n=20 than just the cost and simplicity advantages of resin. I would really=20 appreciate any advice that others may be willing to offer.

Thanks again.
