I was planning on applying "Red-Kote" to the inside of mine. Anyone know WHAT TYPE of coating is inside these? Can Red-Kote be used?

Been filling this can with gas for over a year never needed red kote. It's safe for gasoline as far as I know. They have just labeled it as a 'water only' container because of a certain law, but it's good for gas.

Red-kote would work well. I used it on an old jerry can when the old liner began peeling. The inside of a NATO can has a red enamel liner that is fuel resistant. That has to be cleaned off if it is peeling. I used sharp edged small granite gravel and then wrapped the CA up in old towels and bedspreads and pit the whole thing in the clothes dryer on air only (no heat) for 45 minutes. Clean out with water and then some cheap rubbing alcohol to remove the water. Prep with muriatic acid, the apply redkote and drain.

I don't know about Red-Kote but there is some sort of fuel proof lining on the inside, I don't know if anything would stick to it.

It's from the new and improved non phosphate detergent we all have to use now. My pots and pans blued and the flatware started to have rust spots on the knife blades. Also a white film started to cover the dishwasher interior and my black nylon cooking utensils. You can use Bar Keepers on them. I'd use the liquid. Or do as I do now. I sprinkle a small amount of Citric Acid into the detergent containers on my dishwasher. I bought it on Amazon. I also changed detergent to biokleen. No more bluing, no more rust spots, and no more white film. My stainless steel pans shine again.

Any K1 kerosene will work. It recommends that you only use K1 in this unit. I also use an additive found at pretty much every big box store to keep the smell down. Do not use kerosene with red dye in it!

No coating. The inside of the boiler reservoir has a sandblasted smooth finish. It's a really nice pot.

Don't use a paint - it might peel off in your food. Just polish them or re-electroplate them with a hobby plating kit.

Sorry, so far I've only used it on our Oak kitchen cabinets and they turned out lovely. I don't have anything Cherry. So sorry to hear what happened.

Technically, I think you would be OK. This stuff not only converts the rust to an inert material, but it produces a thick, hard black coating on the 'non-rusty' parts. However, if the goal is to preserve the metal as long as possible, I would still prime and paint with a high quality enamel paint. I am using ift to refurbish an old BBQ and it is working very well.

When I used a mixer, it removed the red coloring from the bowl. Basically it scratched up the sides of the bowl.

I am using the polish on an indoor cast iron stove, but if it gets moisture, it still rusts. I think it is more intended to improve the appearance of the stove. Maybe a high temperature paint would be more suitable for outdoors.

It depends on the size of the hole, smaller than a 1/4" could be a problem. When you have finished draining the excess red koat out of the tank, stand it on end so the holes drain out. Give it at least 48 hours to cure. Roll the tank around a couple of times during the cure to distribute any pooled material, stand the tank on end between rolls. The longer you let it cure the better.

I use a wire brush designed to fit the grooves. I've not had rust problems. The whole point of STAINLESS STEEL is it doesn't rust.Charbroil makes a brush for the infrared grates, and I bought one here on Amazon. So far...no rust problems. I hope this helps you with your purchase decision(s).

When I emailed Zojirushi, this is the answer I got :: Dear Jenny,All of our water boilers have a stainless steel inside liner with a non-stick coating. The nonstick coating is made of PTFE. It is a fluoropolymer, a material commonly used for non-stick coating in cookware for conventional kitchen use.Sincerely,Chico Zojirushi America Corp.1149 W.190th St., Suite 1000Gardena, CA 902481-800-733-6270 ext 106

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish.Why I used this >> was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

Have used this product for years with excellent results! (different packaging now.) Sometimes I use a stainless steel pad along with product, especially for pans under stove burners (still have original pans after 13 yrs!...and I cook a lot!). Have had no problem using product inside cookware...just rinse well, as you would with any detergent. My cookware is shiny and still like new.

Unless it really looks bad just coat the the new over the old. If you decide that the old must come off acetone will work. Be very careful and have lots of ventilation as it is very flammable.

There was no protective coating on our piece. We put several coats of cedar stain/weather-coa on our table for outside use. So far, it has held up well.
