Aloha Martin,
Can you describe the pictures and the tanks. Is picture two and three the same tank?

P. S. Thanks for all your help in glass patching the Sunfish hulls.

Hi John...All 3 pictures are the same tank. The first one is after removing the tank lid showing the black pit and residue silly-seal stuck on the fiberglass. The second picture is 4 hours later of hard scrubbing and peeling silly-seal. The last picture is buttoning the thing back up and hopefully never apart again in my life time. I am glad that I did this. Lord knows what might have happened with that black crud in there.
