The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Rust prevention after welding

Does anyone know of a product that can be applied to raw metal that will allow welding and still help prevent rust in areas that will be closed off after welding? I won't be able to paint in those areas after welding.

Thanks for any help.

I paint my pieces with Zero Rust and let them cure prior to welding them in place. Also, prior to closing off an area, such as an inner cowl, I hit it again with more ZR. After I am done welding the new piece in place and grinding I spray the worked areas with ZR. After letting it cure I them seam seal the patch. In my opinion that is about all you can do without spraying everything with undercoating or bed liner material.

I've used oxi solve rust remover on bare metal after welding. Just spray it on and leave it. When I get back to welding I just use a damp cloth to clean it up and reinstall when done for the day. I don't know what is is but every time someone walks in the shop they have to touch the bare metal, this works for elimenating finger prints. Ive heard that Por15 works well too

You can also use a weld through primer before welding for some added protection. It is available in spray cans.........Dale
