Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.

You can use POR 15 and fiberglass mat and it is better than resin because you can put it over rust and it will stick and stop the rust as well as fill the hole. I agree that fiberglass resin and mat suck, but we aren't talking about that.

That POR 15 is pricey but it does do the job. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 126 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 126 | OK, now I'm tracking. You guys mean to use teh POR 15 as the resin. I was thinking you meant to treat the metal prior to traditional fiberglass application. I thin I will go this route. | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 303 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2010 Posts: 303 | yes, you can buy a kit that has the POR 15 and the mesh backing made by POR 15. But the mesh they sell is kinda crappy and it is pricey to. So you use the fiberglas matting instead of the POR 15 mesh. And it works a whole lot better. Paint the POR 15 on the surface, it paints thick. Then place the fiberglas matting over the POR 15. Then put POR 15 over the matting and The POR 15 is self leveling and will dry rock hard, great stuff. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | I think I would be looking for someone parting out a 66 and cut a patch for it.
