I posted this in another thread but in case someone's not following it ( which i doubt ) I wanted to make sure everyone saw it....

For building wood / concrete tanks ...Has anyone ever tried this or checked this out before.......http://www.sanitred.com/

1 gallon covers 100 sq feet

1. Ideal Products certify that our SANI-TRED products will not result in adulteration of food products if used and applied as supplied instructions and label directions indicate.

2. SANI-TRED products will perform well under a daily regimen of rigorous cleaning, cyclical temperature change, and wet conditions.

3. All SANI-TRED products are impervious to moisture, completely water-proof, and are not water soluble. Water has no effect on these cured materials even in the presence of standing water on a raw edge.

4. SANI-TRED products are light colored, and these light colors are solid colors not intended to obscure detection of debris or unsanitary conditions. The properly installed SANI-TRED surface may even be sterilized due to it's monolithic non-porous nature in either smooth or textured installations.

5. After application and cure, these products become solid polyurethanes that will not decompose, deteriorate, eject, emit or otherwise exude residuals in either a liquid, solid or gas form, and contains no known carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens, classified as hazardous substances, heavy metals, or other toxic substances.

6. None of our SANI-TRED products are considered a pesticide, they do not have pesticidal characteristics and Ideal Products does not manufacture or distribute pesticides of any kind.

Ideal Products will provide to FSIS, in a timely manner on request, a complete chemical composition of the materials used to manufacture SANI-TRED products.
 
I sent them an email asking about whether this would be appropriate to coat a plywood tank, etc. Although, its not really a price difference over the epoxy/gelcoat method.
 
that was fast...I put the email into a pdf because I couldn't figure out how to post the whole thing, but here it is for anyone who wants to check it out. Looks like it would work fine, but no less work or expense than the fiberglass & epoxy route.
