I just ordered a brand new drum from Amazon the, Skolnik carbon steel open top drum, 55 gallons, bolt ring, 1.2mm body gauge. So the question is. Should I burn the drum out? Not sure if it has a liner or not. I was thinking if I burned it, the paint on the outside would come off? So I would need to sand and repaint? I would prefer to just put the drum together, cause I would be able to use it sooner. But if I need to destroy the beautiful paint that's on it, so be it. Can't wait to get this thing going. Should be here Monday.
