Inside of drum painted
Found a food grade 55 gal drum, but the inside is painted. Will a good hot burn be all I need or will I still need to grind?

Re: Inside of drum painted
Are you sure it's paint, and not an epoxy coating? Those are a real PITA to clean out. If it is just paint, you can burn it out, or even use a weed burner. If it is one of those epoxy lined barrels, be prepared for a burnout, a weed burner, and a grinder or orbital sander, and lots of free time.

Re: Inside of drum painted
It has a epoxy liner because you bought a Food grade drum,( future note to self> never buy food grade drums) I guarantee by the time you burn grind sand you way to clean bare steel you won't make this mistake again because it has to go Drill your intake holes 1" holes 2" center off the bottom. Get you 3-4 old shipping pallets bust ;em up load them in the drum go plum crazy with a bottle of charcoal lighter and toss in a match. Once it cools the real work will begin removing what is left of that nasty old liner:laughing7:

Re: Inside of drum painted
I found one, and called the fella about the condition of drum, didn't say I bought it. Did y'all really think I wouldn't inquire here first to see what the gurus had to say? This is why I love this site, it saves me work. I reckon I need to find one that is clean on inside.
