I have a small one, I like it. Wait, shrinking disc! Wassup with the snickering? Seriously, for the use on small areas it's pretty handy. Gotta work fast, try to work once, be ready to kool it too. The negative is the effort vs having the big one. Gotta put some force to it.*****, there you go snickering again...
Wolfe's Shrinking Disc. I've taken a lot of high spots out of some pretty ugly panels with one. Use a spray bottle set to a fine mist to cool the hot spot. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=de57...XRhbGZhYnJpY2F0aW9uLmNvbS9zZGlzYy5odG1s&ntb=1
I'm surprised nobody had a very serious injury using those big shrinking discs. I think they are 8 or 9 inches using a big heavy grinder and no guard.
A stud welder with a special tip for shrinking is a tool I found quite effective. Anytime you are working on a gas tank with heat, caution is required even if you can not smell any vapors. Dry ice is used in the gas station tank repair industry to displace oxygen and vapors before cutting into a steel tank. I recall a PEI Standard from 25-30 years ago for cutting open tanks and use of CO2.
