Hi, I bought enough of the 3 chemicals planning to do two tanks - a relatively small 3 gallon motorcycle tank right now, and then a 20 gallon automotive tank in the future. I'd planned to shelve the leftover chemicals from the motorcycle job until I can get to the huge second restoration project.
However, after reading all the instructions, I'm told to use what RustSeal I need (I estimate only about a seventh of a quart) and then to let the rest of the quart harden and then discard it ??! What a waste.
I understand that the Aqua-Kleen and RustBlast probably won't be a problem to store; but I don't want to waste the RustSeal.
Question is how can I successfully store it for a year or two? Perhaps storing the remainder in a smaller paint can(s) which don't allow for any air space and also possibly putting in a little solvent to compensate for any lost when the stock can was opened?
Thanks in advance, Al

You can easily tackle both jobs with that same quart of sealer. When opening the quart the first time for the smaller tank, just stir well then pour out what you need for that smaller tank. Wipe down the lid and rim of the can, cover the open can with some plastic food wrap, then apply the lid tightly. The remianing sealer should stay fine until you're ready for that next tank. Just remember the less time the sealer is exposed to the humidity in the air, the better.
