 Post subject: POR-15 experiment.
PostPosted: August 4, 2006, 7:48 pm 
I once used POR-15 to "patch" a freshly POR-15'd WV bug floor pan. So I got the idea to try it in a fiberglass lay-up as the resin. Absolutely bullet proof! I realize that the choices for paints are limited but it works really well.
So now I'm thinking that after I POR-15 my frame and floor panels I'll mix some POR-15 with Cabosil ( a resin thickener) into a paste and shoot it together "wet" for a monster bond and seal. It should help take some of the load off the pop rivets. Just a thought....Whadya think?:idea:

:wink: Fletch :idea:

I can't comment on your proposed use. I just wanted to let you know that there is an alternative to POR I found called Chassis Saver. My local NAPA store carries it, and it was about $25/gallon cheaper than POR. From everything I can find, it is basically identical to POR. A thought for "lo" side of locost.
