Re: [T3] POR15 and residual moisture...who knew...


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Im still evaluating various scenerio's of using POR 15 under my salty 87
Golf... I should have some results when I CAN SEE THE SURFACE AGAIN
underneath the car in the spring!

I have noticed that, one coat is insufficient... starts showing rust again
almost right away... but doesnt seem to get really bad to fast.  TWO COATS
IS A MUST.

What disturbs me about this article is that they are talking about problems
with POR 15 used over surfaces that are sandblasted clean... how bad must
this be if your Painting Over Rust?? even with the sinc coat.  They are
correct however, that sandblasted metal, expecially in humidity, will show
rust again in hours.

> I was visiting the POR15 website just now and came across this article
about residual moisture and the formation of rust UNDERNEATH a coating of
POR15 (see link below).  All of the sudden I'm starting to panic about
whether or not my Square's floorpans were completely dry before I painted
them with POR15....
