Before mig welders were so common in home garages, this was our best option for rust repair. My failures were always due to improper prep. That mechanical bond is crucial. And clean metal can be too smooth without prepwork.

I once did the whole floor in the van section of a 1970 Ford class c RV that was owned by my boss. Epoxy or polyester resin? Either way it'll be as solid as a welded in metal patch. That RV was still being used till about ten years ago. Nice job!

At about 2:19, it looks like there was still a bit of surface rust (and you didn't apply any sort of rust inhibitor) before you applied the resin and glass. Does that mean it's OK to leave a little bit of rust? In other words, does the resin effectively encapsulate that remaining rust so it won't come back?
@LakesideAutobody
@LakesideAutobody 29 күн бұрын
Yes, it's OK. Of course it would be nice to have all the rust gone but it won't hurt. I think, like you said, it will "seal" it in there. Rust isn't like "alive" - in other words, it doesn't continue to grow when it's encapsulated.

@@LakesideAutobody I used the coating as the resin it works great. Por15 sells kits to fix floor mans and that’s what you do. You don’t need fiberglass resin just the por15 or the like and you coat the metal then press the Matt into the coating and coat over top with the por15. Then let it dry. I use kbs instead of por15 however

Great question. Here's an example of when it can be used and last just as long - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIG3kph-ZZpppMk - in this case it was faster and easier. Other cases might be around gas tanks if that concerns you and other areas where welding can cause problems - near plastic, windows, sensitive parts, etc. Just a quick answer but this would be a good topic for a short video. Have a great weekend KFR 👍

Lol, I did that ~7 years ago, but I had big holes to fill after I removed the nasty. Fiperglass is too flexible to cover large holes, so my base layer was a PBR box! I coated it with resin on both sides for weather protection, then 2 lyers of 'glass, and after the resin cured I sprayed undercoating outside & brushed Rustoleum inside. Lasted (at least) until death of my XJ when it got t-boned 😢 other than the missing passeger side floorboard it was rust free!

I'm odd in that like you I do rust repair & mechanical repairs - most don't. Rust repair is the toughest gig going, it's why few want to do it - it's pretty horrendous work most of the time if you do it as a profession, daily. Coal mining would be easier. Caveat to that is most mechanical repairs are like a holiday in comparison to repairing rust. Stuff mechanics whinge & moan about are like days off to me tbh - not drowning in fumes, dust, dirt, not jammed in under some vehicle, 1" from the blazing arc getting burnt from head to toe, in a space people would laugh at if you asked them to crawl into. Every diagnostic or mechanical repair task is a doddle by comparison - even the ones no garage wants to do. I know you will get that, where most won't have a clue wtf I am on about.

Hey maybe try this "goo" i created. 😂 Well maybe not,im sure others have. I had a battery tray that had some rust holes, and instead of doing fiberglass and resin ,i just skipped the 2 part resin and substituted in POR-15. Yup, lay down your cloth over the hole and apply paint. Need more strength? Mix in some milled fibers into the paint. I put the cloth on, painted it ,let ut cure and came back with a thick coat of por-15 mixed with milled fiber. Itll take a xouple days to cure up good ,the thicker it is ,but after a kuttle bit of paintable undercoating and a semi gloss black top coat it looks good as new. Should last a while too as i beadblasted the metal first. When ya aint got time to mix resin to patch a hole its worked for me a few times.
