One thing, POR-15 does not like a smooth surface.

I'll second that KurtS, I tried it on a small area - it started to peel, so I took it all off and stashed the stuff somewhere. Personally, I won't waste my money on that kind of stuff again.

I tried it but I sprayed it on with very little air pressure and It seemed to work and adhere just fine.

I talked at length last night with a body shop Forman on another site, he did not care for the product either and another fella chimed in and claimed there product did not work as advertised, So I am back at square one in my mind, guess I will site back think about it for a minute, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thnx Bud.

Bud, if you cut out the rusted area, and weld in a patch, welding the seams complete, with no pinholes, grind, and fill as needed, prime with an epoxy primer ie dp90, a primer/surfacer ie K36 and paint, that should be all you need on the outside. We use 3m rustfighter sprayed on the inner panels. It should last a long time for you. Schonye

POR-15 does work and has a tough skin.
It just needs something to grab onto: sandblast surface, rusty surface, ect.
