So ground off as much mouse pee rust as I could, put first cat of rust converter on, then remembered I have this tube for spraying in areas not reachable with spray, put this down pillars in everyborifice I could find on the roof of this pig, converter running out all over, I think I soaked it, tomorrow 2nd coat. It does smell-probably some chemistry with mouse urine, Greek to me!

[Pigeaten]

Spelling bad, not from alcohol, must be that fragrant mouse pee smell, getting me light headed

 

[PabloCruise]

Mouse urine chemistry can get to you!

If you look a few pages in on my thread I used corroseal and then later wet sanded the paint to remove the corroseal stain from the non rusty areas. It turned out pretty well. I like the finish that the corroseal leaves on the rusty areas.

Jumping around a bit, getting in and out of pig to work on rust—-Squirrel!, I think I will remove doors and change out hinges

Hey Don,

Check each door where the hinges are bolted, they tend to crack there.

 

[Pigeaten]

no cracks at hinge locations on doors, a little rust down low, but that will have to wait. waiting for some rust converter, so today with a cold beer, removed all seam sealer from gutters, a little rust under, think I will treat with POR 15, paint and reseal, thoughts?

 

[RUSH55]

POR15 would ideally WANT the rust to bond to. Not sure how it would adhere to a rust converter. If you decide to try it, maybe run a tape line as low as possible and then use a brush to apply. After it’s dried apply the seam sealer, and then maybe spray the sealer with rattle-can that resembles the factory paint as close as you can find.
Take that with a grain of salt, and maybe others with better ideas will chime in. I’m just thinking do whatever you can do to keep the “repair work” to a visual minimum.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I know the por15 type products don't like to stick to other type paints unless prepared right, so would that effect the seam sealer the same?

 

[RUSH55]

Here’s the material data sheet for SEM two part self-leveling seam sealer. Can be used DTM or over epoxy primer, or urethane. Says not to use over an acid based, self etching primer.
One step is to sand the surface, probably to give it some tooth to bite to.

Found one on rear door while peeping for paint, thanks for the heads up Ron

 

[Pigeaten]

I’m looking for rust everywhere, looked at windshield with 3 rock chips, I wonder what’s under seal? Better than I expected

 

[Pigeaten]

Peeping for paint is the same as preping for paint
Done for the day, need to order some stuff, but first- life is good

Prepping for paint-gotta start wearing my glasses
