Yo!!! u guys just saved me a ton of time and money. Im at the point in my bus that u are in on this video. I took a few days off demolition to assess my floor. I am so glad I stumbled upon this video. Im going to lowes today to get some corroseal.

[@BackroadPurpose]

Glad it helped! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@stxferalboys]

Awesome videos guys thanks for the info about everything

[@BackroadPurpose]

You're very welcome! Let me know if you need anything else!

[@familyadventure6672]

Keep up the great work👍🏻

[@BackroadPurpose]

We sure will! Thank you for watching!

[@jeffhamilton6856]

Thanks so much for your videos, and especially the links! I ordered this now and am resealing my windows this weekend after watching your video on it. I love how you say it's not about this or that but freedom, and I definitely agree. My skoolie isn't going to be a home, it's going to be the business I've wanted to start for 15 years!

[@BackroadPurpose]

Dude congrats! Thats awesome. Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if I can help with anything else!

[@puppypastries5737]

Me too! Except im 15 years old loll. I'm a little nervous to start.

Great job on the floor! We hadn’t seen the product you put on it to convert the rust. Looks a lot easier than grinding out the rust! We’re about to paint our floor & we’re looking for ways to clean it first. Great video! Keep them coming! - Brian+ Erin

[@BackroadPurpose]

We did a little grinding at the loose stuff but this Corroseal stuff did so much better then we thought. We did 2 coats. We still have half a gallon left. We might do the undercarriage. We put a link in the description.

[@BEAdventurePartners]

@@BackroadPurpose - That is so awesome to hear you found something that worked for you, and saved you guys some sweat equity! You are doing so great over there! :)

[@BackroadPurpose]

@@BEAdventurePartners yeah it was nice to walk into and see it work well. And thanks so much. It's definitely a lot of work but it's also fun

[@RvWorldTraveller]

You are going to notice that with everything you want to do, there are several small steps to do first. Watch my 'Subfloor' video's. Its a slightly different way to do the subfloor. Even now, 16 months into my build, i want to do something, and i still run into a small project i have to do first. Keep pushing through it. Even though i'm not done yet, it feels like such an accomplishment. You'll get there too.

[@BackroadPurpose]

Thank you very much. I'll check it out. Slowly but surely making this thing something special for us.

[@itzcryssie2732]

Omg you guys may have just saved my day bc this was the easiest rust removal I’ve seen. Hopefully it works great bc I’m on my way to lowes🤣✌🏽

[@BackroadPurpose]

Lol you're very welcome. I hope it did the job for you!!🤙🤙

[@SixtiesandBeyond]

Thanks

[@BackroadPurpose]

No problem!!

[@andrepeoples2538]

How did you clean all the dirt and stuff from the floor? What did you use?

[@BackroadPurpose]

I ended up sanding the entire floor first to get rid of most of the loose rust and then I just ran some water over it to rinse it out.

[@sandys3767]

Hi. We have the same bus (and a 2013 Miata too)! How much of the Corroseal did you use? Your videos have been so helpful! Thanks.

[@BackroadPurpose]

I hope im not too late!!! I bought this and only used half of it amzn.to/38cewyQ

[@sandys3767]

Backroad Purpose thanks!

[@SixtiesandBeyond]

Im at that point with my short bus a few areas with rust on the floor

[@BackroadPurpose]

Its definitely needed.

[@Atlbug138]

I am going through the same process. Did you have to grind and sand the entire bus floor, before applying the Ospho? Or did you just grind away the significant rust spots and paint over everything ?

[@BackroadPurpose]

I only spent time grinding the really rusted spots and then just roughed up a few spots that were a bit dirty. thanks for watching !

[@missyasche881]

How did you clean the floors before using the corroseal? We have sticky glue from the rubber mating I would love to remove before using the corroseal. After the corroseal, what did you use to paint the floor?

[@BackroadPurpose]

Fortunately ours didn't have any glue on our floor but I would say acetone will probably do a pretty good job

[@missyasche881]

@@BackroadPurpose thank you. I will keep that in mind. :) In the meantime, we did purchase Corroseal cleaner. If that doesn't work well, we could try the acetone. Thanks for the idea!

[@georgen4077]

So you cut out completely the portions that were rusted all the way through, scrapped metal from the seat frames for patches, and then just used that converter? No metal brush to remove surface rust prior to the paint on converter?

[@BackroadPurpose]

I actually did use a metal wire brush form Harbor frieght to clean up all the old rust I just failed to document that part.

[@milkweed098]

We have to replace the floor panels them selves. This is gonna be funny. What was the paint you used for the rust

[@BackroadPurpose]

The roster converter was called Corroseal and we used rustoleum enamel paint after that. Only 1 gallon of each.

[@milkweed098]

@@BackroadPurpose ahh okay thank you. We have a full size CO push engine international. Would a gallon of each be enough. Sorry for the questions. I just tuned into you channel

[@BackroadPurpose]

@@milkweed098 oh no problem! I'm glad to help and spread the knowledge I have accumulated. But yes. A gallon is enough. Our bus is 35ft (200sqft living area) and i only used a half gallon of corroseal and a half gallon of paint.

[@markwilson8118]

Sitting here watching you do that floor was a bit upsetting. . Cause I couldn't be there to help you out .. lol

[@BackroadPurpose]

Ah how I wish you could have helped. Taking those seats out was a beast of a task

[@markwilson8118]

@@BackroadPurpose I've watched so many bus builds .. And I always wish I was there to help .. I think I need a new addiction .. lol

@@markwilson8118 lol there's nothing wrong with wanting to get your hands dirty. You should check out some people's Overland Rigs. They're pretty rad too.
