The paint blister thread is one of the most highly viewed (over 9000) and one of the most replied to (over 120). This leads me to believe there are a lot more people out there who haven't taken the time to respond.
I am very disappointed in this situation. I paid Vans their full asking price for the quickbuild option. This makes them the manufacturer of my wing tanks. As a manufacturer they should accept responsibility for this problem and offer some kind of compensation to their clients.
As an individual I have a small voice but as a group we have a large one.
I propose that we start a database of all the individuals that have experienced this problem. I will volunteer to collect the data unless someone else has a better (easier) solution. This will let everyone know how large the scope of the problem really is. My suggestion is that affected individuals answer the following questions and then send a copy of their email to me and to Vans. As this is a proposal at this stage I am open to any and all input.
Questions:
Name and contact info: Andrew Phillips - contact through VAF
Model of plane: RV-7A
Quickbuild tanks (yes/no): yes
Year received: 2007
Blisters elsewhere (other than tanks) on aircraft (yes/no): no
Prep and paint info: epoxy primer + house of color base/clear
