I could possibly put a couple of 3" threaded fittings and then put a threaded plug in there, just enough room to stick my arm in and a paint brush.<br />

<div>Hi Hank,</div>
<div>Just a word of caution with that method,</div>
<div>The HMS Thetis was lost along with 99 persons due to paint clogging a tube</div>
<div>That was used to check whether there was water in the missile bay.</div>

<div id="yiv548429568">Hi All,<br />
Very jealous I can't make it to the convention ;-) !! I'm going to have a hard ballast tank which will be approx 21" in diameter by 36" long. I don't really need to access the inside of the tank and I was wondering how I could seal the inside somehow. Some type of epoxy coating. But once I do any welding it will desrtoy any coating. Any ideas ? <br />
<br />
Thanks, Brian </div>
