Stock tank / soak tank -- what're you using?

[David Tollefson]

I'm finding the need to up the size of my tank (currently using buckets) to soak off flux. Would like to do a heated unit, but the tank itself is the first step. I looked at stock tanks, but it seems they're all large and shallow. Any one got something more narrow and upright? Is it heated?

Thanks.

Where are you looking? I've seen some that are oriented in a vertical direction. Somebody a few years ago was selling a stainless tank pre threaded for a heater etc. I still use a sink.

Found it..

richard,

when you use those boxes, do you fill them with hot or cold tap water ?

i've been using a bucket and hot water, but sometimes the brass flux seems a little stubborn for that, which is invariably when they end up in the bath overnight, silver flux seems to come off really easily though

thanks

Or do you use a heating element to keep the water warm?

I fill it with water. After a while when it evaporates or get splashed out, I add more. Rainwater is good too. #noverthink

I have a stainless hydrotherapy tank I found. It has a whirlpool that circulates fairly aggressivly, and I added a heating element. I can fit about 2-3 frames half way and and flip after about 10-15m. I have a larger stainless tank I hope to eventually set up for doing a full run of bikes in at once, but that is waaaay back burnered.
