Historically, no interior coating was used on these tenders. Part of the process, in fact, for riveted tenders is the process of letting them rust so as to seal small seeps and other minor weeps naturally. Although this may seem problematic to some, an anticipated life span of 50 years is still quite good, and it will allow the next generation to build riveted tender tanks and preserve that skill set.

Best,
