Internal cavity protection (IN CARS), Eastwood product I haven't tried but might work Options

[charliew]

This came in one of my email adds. It might be ok but I think the cavity still needs to be cleaned out and all excess flaking and bubbling rust and dirt removed first. The easyway would be to stick the sandblast nozzle up in it. Personally I will just use brush on coldgalvanizing if I can get to the area followed by a wax covering. I might use this on barely starting to rust areas after flushing them with a good cleaner and then metalready, then another flush and maybe this stuff. I haven't got any yet and haven't read the inst either to see if a follow up wax coat would help.

Just thought a few of you might be interested. Critics are welcome

Got the same email, thought it looked good so I asked a few questions.

"I just got an email about your internal frame coating product, looks good. How does it compare to your Heavy Duty Anti-Rust though? When would you suggest to use one over the other? What testing was completed on the Internal Frame Coating product to prove that it does work as advertised?"

Here are the answers:

1. The main difference between the heavy duty anti rust and the IFC is the effectiveness of creeping, what that means is over time the IFC creeps into areas and coats and protects where as the anti rust does not creep at all.

2. I would use the IFC on areas of a frame that you need thin sprayable coating that can reach all those hard to reach areas. thats right the IFC is a very thin, which was formualted like that for one purpose, to be able to flow into very small and tight areas, where other products such as the anti rust would stop due to a heavier viscosity.

3. As for testing I will follow up with you with an additional E-Mail when Ican meet with a product manager and find out the details.

Follow up:

"Thanks for your answers, this does help. Do you recommend any sort of prep before applying the IFC? Clearly it is tough to do much of anything in enclosed spaces, but should attempts be made to get out rust flakes? Clean/degrease?"

Response:

"No prep work inside the frame is needed. however if I was doing the work I would try my best by blowing out as much debris with an air hose and/or flush as much as I could out of the frame. This process may not be as easy as it sounds as some frames don’t have many exit ports."


I don't buy the no prep work but this product does still sound like it could be good.
