When one side of strip is used up, flip strip over and use the other sides. You can buy more Cleaner Strip material     click:   Cleaner Strip Material  

Our Cleaner Strip material works great on your liquid tank cars. Our material is heavy weight material and will hold and dispense fluid a lot better and more even. Our material has a great price for the amount you get!

Also mentioned in the SOM kit instructions is the use of our Bulls Eye drill and tap jig tools for attaching couple box screws to coupler box.
