stealth bomber Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 What are you using it on? I bought some but ended up taking it back after reading mixed reviews. Some say it’s great but others say it’s too stiff and can delaminate from the surface and allow rust between the coating and metal. I just went with regular rust paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inner fender and rusted areas under wheel arch molding. I’ll treat it with RP-342. I’ve had really good results with that coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted September 15, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) If you do use it wear long sleeve shirt and gloves if any gets on your skin it takes weeks to come off. It also has no uv protection so top coat if it will see sun light. I like Eastwoods rust encapsulater better.

SkisNH Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I did my old fisher plow with it...I thought it held up great to the abuse of plowing a dirt driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I bought a can of the POR 15 and some cheap brushes. I used some of it a couple times and the 3rd time ( not long after) the shit went solid in the can. I bought another can this summer and made sure to do what I had to do all in a day. I'll check the can in the shed next week and if it's gone rock hard it'll be the last time I buy it. A can is like $80 here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A can is like $80 here We use it here and there at the shop and we’ve found if you poke two holes with a screw driver in the lid pour out what you need in a cup it seems to last little longer. One hole pour out of and other is vent then put two screws in the holes with the por sealing the screws threads it seems to last little longer than just cracking the entire lid but if it does sit long enough it’ll completely harden.

That's a great idea! I never thought of something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
