    If you can't find any you could deactivate some live ones.
    Soak them in water and scratch out the compound while wet.

    This sounds like a good plan. Probably cheaper than a specialty primer too.

    Just remove the anvil
    Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both

    Maybe he means that's all you need to do. No anvil.
    Most of the tanks are gone and the windows don't rattle anymore. I won't be able to sleep now.
