    Any tips on using it before I start making a mess?

    Chose which pet you want to seal very carefully, perhaps starting on a
    small hamster, gerbil or guinea pig.

    Have you cleaned the tank out with a few litres of full-fat coke?

    I haven't, no. Why would I want to do that? Does the acid do something
    useful, or are you just trying to get me to fill my tank with sugar...

    I was going to wire brush any loose rust then wipe it over with
    thinners.

    A marble or two in the tank. Give it a good shake

  8. I use a handful of light gravel. This will remove any loose flakes of rust.

    OK so now I've got sugar, broken glass & rocks in my tank. Think I'll
    add some Anchovies next.

    I should perhaps point out it's an FI bike, therefore I have a huge
    hole in the bottom of the tank where the fuel pump goes. Hence I can
    remove any loose rust with a wire brush/emery paper etc.

    I was more after tips on using the Petseal from anyone who's found out
    the hard way how not to do it, iyswim. Otherwise I'll just follow the
    destructions.

    do as you say - worked for my Z1 tank.

  11. So why the petseal?. Does it leak or is it to seal the rust. If so you can
    remove any rust with wire brush.

    The coke gets the rust out a treat.

    I'm glad it worked. I remember you being a bit sceptical.

    Talking about sceptical, and absolutely bugger all to do with bikes,
    but do you know what works a treat if you are having problems with cats
    visiting your garden and leaving presents there that you don't want,
    especially if they destroy your plants (for those that like gardening).

    A clear plastic litre-sized bottle filled with water [1]. Keeps them
    out a treat, I kid you not.

    The apparent explanation is that cats are only used to seeing water
    flat, in puddles. When they see water upright and obviously not flat
    they can't work out why so they avoid that area.

    Strange, but true.

  15. I have absolutely no evidence one way or the other, but I suspect this
    to be total bollocks :))

  16. Err is was shown on a gardening programme where Alan Titchmarsh wandered
    off to help people tidy up their gardens. He had never seen the use of
    upright water filled bottles before but the lady gardener swore that it
    worked as a deterrent. Now you'll probably still claim that it's
    bollocks but at least it's semi-official bollocks.

    For some reason this newsreader only likes giving me some of TOGs
    postings and not others, I've never figured out why.
    Ah well, it was something I learnt this afternoon on the way home after
    a conversation between two people who are not known for spouting
    bollocks at all. One person informed the other about the clear water
    bottle theory (as advised by his mum, and we all know mum's know best,
    eh), the other guy used it and it worked.

    Seeing as neither of them are known for spouting bollocks, and Alan
    Titchmarsh has apparently said it works, then does that make it only
    1/4 bollocks?

    Of course, having a Jack Russell we aren't able to put this theory into
    practice.

  18. I never said 'claim', just 'suspect' :))

    And the opinion of one batty old biddy ain't changing that. Mind you, I
    do like the expression "semi-official bollocks".

    Actually, you are in the prime position to put this theory into
    practice, having a couple of cats yourself.

    Fill a clear plastic bottle with water and see how they react.

    I have three.
    I didn't have a bottle so I used a pitcher.
    One screamed at it (she screams at everything), one ignored it and the
    other drank out of it as soon as she discovered it was full of water.
