[QUOTE="john.0, post: 394408, member: 19922"] I have the hull stripped of the tar and what was left of it's paint,it is corroded quite a bit and all over.I have tried mineral spirits and brushes but It is virtually impossible to remove every last bit of tar from the very porous corrosion.When heat is applied tar leaches out from under rivets and from areas that have been cleaned. I absolutely do not want to re-coat it with roofing tar and I really doubt that painting it in any way would be successful. I'm thinking of coal tar epoxy but I am not familiar with it and am not sure if it would be compatible with the tar that is left in the pitting.Any ideas or advice would be great. [/QUOTE]
