<x-charset iso-8859-1>Take a breath... Remember that floor pans rust out from the INSIDE, so wipe the salt off your feet before getting in! :) Seriously, I guess I needed to look under there again but Corroless is of limited use if not topcoated, it has no physical resilance or resistance to scratches etc. so on the inside of the floor it will quickly get worn and fail. POR 15 would be a better choice but Im still evaluating it. It will plug up small pinholes too. Leaving the holes open now if not too large will actually help drain a leaking plenum, just keep the floor clean and allow it to dry after it gets wet and it should be OK till spring. I need to POR 15 or something to my pan too.. I Duro Extended it in 88 and the stuff has failed but no holes yet.
