The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop hidden pitted metal

Should I just use POR-15 inside a cab corner that I now have access to, or would I want to do some other treatment to it. I'm afraid to use naval jelly and not being able to get it out of the overlapping seams,thanks.

are you talking about the area above
your patch
and on up into the cab?

I understand that to be prime por application surface since it needs something to 'encapsulate' where as your nice patch area may not hold it that well.

nice albums

Yes on both sides of that metal patch. Just brush on the por? After I use marine clean and metal ready? Or do I not want to use those two and risk not being able to wash out the metal seams, thanks

scratch the new stuff up with some rougher sand paper to give the
por a tooth to stick to

I do plan on using por-15 on the underside of the floor and inside the corner. I'm just worried about the seams all over the truck and not being able to wash away the residue before I por-15 it. It looks to me like the marine clean and metal ready prep stuff is a lot thinner than the por-15 and I wonder if it will penetrate and therefor protect all the way into the seams?thanks

I will sand the new metal
