-I think acetone dissolves most foams.

--Brian

Started with putting some in a cup with Acetone see what would happen and
it just sat there looking at me with an "AND?..." expression on its face.
.  Worked about as well  as gasoline (nothing),  and some various acids
approved and provided by my body shop guy/friend who can do anything.  Even
went muriatic for curiosity sake.  They store some seriously strong acid
in plastic.  This foam stuff is "plastic-esque"  Couldn't tell by how it
tasted (joke) but similar at least.  Anyways no acid.

But lacked any helpful chemicals that wouldn't force me to treat the
inside afterwards with something thick.  And 8 or 16 oz bottle reduces that
much fuel capacity.  Already small tank.  3.5ish gallons.

*Decided heat/flames and paint= bad.  No heat.  *

    I have heard of folks putting lots of nuts and bolts inside and sealing the
    tank, then wrapping it up in a thick blanket and putting it into your
    clothes dryer with no heat.

Perhaps.  But the thought of me screwing that one up seems liiely.  I'd be
paramoid and checking it for dents constantly.  Takes the fun out of it.

Anyways.  BB's arent sharp.  Usually clean.  Surprisingly effective.  This
stuff was OLD so delapidated well.

Isn't this fun??

Ride well!
