Given this former Cali car is coming up on 50 years and probably not always taken good care of, I am lucky to have this level or rusting. I went after it with Ospho, wire brush and clean rinse. Will be applying POR 15 to this area. Question: my gut tells me the well adhered tar is sound and is not hiding any rusting. |

I would guess seasoned metal has been treated by their "metal Prep'" as part of POR's system.
Must admit though, I have never heard of the term seasoned metal. It could mean many things |

I would guess seasoned metal has been treated by their "metal Prep'" as part of POR's system. Must admit though, I have never heard of the term seasoned metal. It could mean many things Their Metal Ready product degreases and 'etches' the metal to allow POR15 to adhere to it. There are of course other products that do the same thing. As with any kind type of paint work, prep is key. QUOTE One thing you can do, if you have an area that has been weakened by rust pitting on one side, but not enough to warrant cutting it out - Put down a coat of POR-15, then lay down some fiberglass cloth, and fill the cloth with POR-15. This is very strong. Please don't do this. |
