Lots of myths about Kreem. Yes there were some instances of peeling, but very few. My 900 hour experience with factory Kreemed tanks is exactly like Larry's. Release agent? That is on the mold surface of the tank - the smooth surface or outside, not the surface showing the fabric weave. Use MEK to remove the Kreem if you find it necessary. If it was me, based on my experience, it would be Kreem once again, but thinned as was mentioned.
