If you don't drive it, why have it?

I've used it for years and it's great for stopping rust, especially on floor and trunk pans. Be sure to get both sides of the metal protected. Three things to consider:
1. It's impossible to get off if you get it on you. Wear protective clothing. It'll wear off in 3-4 days.
2. If you spray it, take their warnings seriously. This stuff is toxic. I shot it on a frame in an open garage with a paper mask. I spent that night at the hospital with pneumonia.
3. Avoid using it anywhere you want to have a nice finish like on body panels. It's difficult to block out and it's difficult to paint over. It can be done; it's just not easy.
It will stop the rust though; and it won't come back.
Good luck.

Buddy | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Zero Rust is the best and easiest (and least expensive) way to go in my opinion. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Have used POR-15 and will advise to buy just what you need for quick use. It goes a long way and can setup in the can quickly. Too expensive to let this happen.

I agree that you should only buy what you need. They sell a 6 pack of pints that work well. Store open containers in refridgerator as it will last longer. It can be painted over with proper preperation. They frame paint is U/V sesitive. If used where the sun can shine on it then it will fade and get a white chalky apperance. Use rolled up tape and cigarette butts on the hole in the frame because if you don't and paint over them you will be drilling the holes out during re-assembly. And the best time to use it is when the humudity is high as it adheres best in these conditions. Look at POR 15 on google and they have there own web site. I have had great luck with this product. | | |
