Does anyone here have any experience with this? I saw an advertisement for it on the Moparts forum and it looked like a good way to take care of any non-critical rust on the inside of my car if I find any. I was planning on wirewheeling any surface rust from around my car and coating over the cleaned areas with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator products, mainly for the engine bay, trunk, undercarriage, etc. Thoughts? |

I used rust mort from SEM in a couple of places on my duster, it worked fine, the only thing to worry about is making sure the rust doesn't spread anywhere else, and if it coats the spot with a hardened substance/conversion if you have to strip it and cut it back out you just made a whole lot of work for yourself (save now...pay more later....) -D.Idiot |

Ive had real good luck with POR 15. The most important thing I've found, is that the surface is CLEAN. I had a couple of parts that after I blasted them had something spilled on them, I wiped them down the best I could, with a thinner-soaked rag, blew dry with compressed air and painted. It still peeled. Reblasted, repainted and working fine. One thing though, when it sticks, IT STICKS! In re blasting the contaminated parts, where whatever got spilled on them didn't interfere with adhereance, I had a hard time removing POR 15 by blasting! It also works well as a "high build", filling in pits and such for a smooth surface. And it don't peel off with several coats like regular paint can. I did all my undercar parts (suspension, etc) this way and once I get a few more patches finished I plan on spraying the whole underside of the car with a couple coats! |

I'll say this. IF you CAN remove the rust by media blasting or patch panels do it. IF you HAVE to use a rust converter I have found POR to have the greatest adhesion BUT Eastwood's converter/encapsolator system will stop any rust from creeeping under the finish. POR seems to allow some creeping. I always think of rust converters and paints to be like penetrating oil... Sometimes it works, sometimes the torch comes out! |
