This afternoon the coolant system clogged up right in the middle of a job. This is the second time this has happened. The cause was the same as before: the stock paint in the tray and coolant tank had dissolved and formed a plastic like film which clogs the pump. The paint on the stock steel coolant tank and tray are really crap. This time I am scraping what loose paint I can get off and have applied Strypeeze a paint remover to the inside of the coolant tank and inside of tray. I would rather leave the steel bare than have that crap paint that’s on it. The idea that has been shown on this list of using a plastic coolant tank is looking very appealing right now.
