I have brightner in mine, but try not to use the brightner at all if possible. Rich, p.s. allow at least 18 to 20 hrs drying time also.

I just received my Caswell kit in the mail. What are you using for a power supply? Do you remove the steel tubes or leave them in?

I use POR15 Metal-Prep (phosphoric acid/zinc phosphate) to remove the zinc/chromate from steel parts. How do you prepare your parts? How do you prepare the body?
