Re: [T3] what I found after removing my seats...(pics)

the POR 15 putty is technically called "POR Patch".  The quote in their 
catalog says...

'For years customers have asked us for a thicker version of our world famous 
POR 15 to use for filling seams or holes.  Here is! POR Patch is quite 
literally POR 15 in a tube and like POR 15 it dries as hard as a rock, 
remains flexible and once dry is totally impervious to fuels and tolvents.  
It's so tough it may actually add strngth to weakened metal.  And wont absorb 
moisture and swell like conventional body filler.'  (Punctuated like the 
catalog, dont blame me)

It looks like some sort of epoxy resin.  It comes in a tube like RTV and you 
just squeeze it out.  The catalog  shows someone spreading it into a seam  
which is what I'll also do where the pan halves attach to the tunnel.  $10 
for a 4 oz. tube.

They also make something called POR Epoxy Putty.  It comes in 2 bars that you 
cut equal parts from and mix together with your "bare hands".  It supposedly 
dries so hard you can drill and tap it.  It sticks to damp surfaces and will 
even cure under water.  It's $19 for a 1 pound pack or $99 for 6 pounds.  I'd 
probably use this stuff if my pans were worse, but since I just have the one 
non weakeked hole and very little rust bubbling, I'll just stick with the POR 
Patch.
