I'm Awesome
Yes I have heard really good things about POR15. I saw the step by step video of the prep the cleaning with the acid spray or whatever it is then wet it down. I'm sure POR15 is awesome but when your upside down and it drips on you then you can't get it off your skin for 6 months makes it hard to show up to church looking like you are that guy that doesn't take a bath. How do you guys prep these frames without removing all the fuel lines tank and brake line. The passenger side isn't bad but getting into the inner part of the frame is not easy unless you sand blast it and that would be like a frame off restoration. And if you are prepping using phosphoric acid doesn't that eat up something you don't want it too? Like a fuel line a rubber any line your eyes. I'm just talking about the frame from the cab back. It would be a nigtmare to try the bottom of the box with the box still on the truck with this acid prep ETC... Holy Cow.
you buy a Tyvek suit with a hood and a respirator, some gloves, and goggles. PPE equipment. Phospprhic acid is the same acid in soda pop. Burn your eyes some, but these strengths in these products are nowhere near sulfuric, hydrochloric, or muriatic acids commonly available in other commercial products.
yeah, you can't get to it all assembled so the rust will creep back under the coatings from the areas that you can't treat so at best it's a half assed attempt with band aid products. It may help but it's not a long lasting solution.
I have seen Por 15 come loose in sheets from floor pans and exterior pieces, bumper fillers ect on restorations. It's an un-catalyzed product. Really better off blasting and using an epoxy primer.
