Brownells has some. I believe you can purchase some at parkerizingtanks.com too.

I use a cast iron bluing tank ($45 at Brownells) to do all my parking. It works like a champ, but I store my solution in a 5 gallon bucket when Im done so it don't eat thru the tank. $45 seemed to be a better deal then $200 for something I do 5 times a year and not 5 times a day.

You can drop by your local metal fabricators shop and ask them to fold and weld one up for y6our from a sheet of stainless. They may do it cheep. Get the dimensions from Brownelss of the tank you want. A Tank is just a sheet of stainelss folded in two places then end pieces welded on.

Also stainless mixing bowls and warming pans work well. I got a three burner propane cast iron outdoor stove from Harbor Freight for $39 and it works great for the long pan.

Hey Sevo: I like your aluminum gutter idea. How do you seal the end caps? What is RTV?

RTV is silicone sealant. Comes in a tube.
