RE: [T3] Floor Patching

Your second guess is correct.  Wire brush the loose stuff off, dust area
off,
then brush on.  It chemically stops the rust, turning it into a primer-like
surface, ready to be painted.  A no-brainer operation and rather effective.
As
always, read the directions.

Though it may not look pretty at least you've stopped the rust and sealed
the
metal from further damage.  Corroless is tough and dries to a dark red/rust
color.  Another brand I have dries flat black.  Go to my web page, 
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1641/
and look towards the bottom of the page about Corroless.  In the lower left
corner of the rust image you can see what the black conversion stuff looks
like.
 The second image shows what the Corroless looks like.  It's my
understanding
that POR-15 is effective as well but I have had no experience with it.
