Ideal for cleaning solutions, boiling water, cold or hot rinse tanks, oil tanks& but DON'T USE IT FOR BLUING SALTS!! Bluing Salts in the presence of stainless steel and gun steel frequently can create "galvanic" action (electric current flow) between the two dissimilar metals resulting in a "false plate" of either chemicals (streaking the bluing with random iridescent blues/greens/purples) or stainless steel (giving patches of random silver specks/spots). So - use for all other tanks to prevent rusting and mess; but keep your bluing salts contented and bluing right in our Black Iron Bluing Tanks!!

Durable and heavy duty(05/02/2014)
I use this stainless tank for my water when rust bluing. I did not want to tank the chance on using an iron tank that would eventually rust. So I spent the extra money for the Stainless one. Money well spent! It is heavy duty guage material and is built well. Will provide many years of service. I built a stand for it made of welded together 1/2" angle iron and my pipe burner mounts under it to the stand. The stand I built has legs that come up about 3" on each corner of the tank as to keep it tight and in place on the stand. My only issue with the tank was that I had to grind the corner welds down some in order have the tank drop down on my stand and clean the angle iron corner braces.
