Re: [T3] POR 15.. my final verdict.

[John Jaranson <jaransonT3@comcast.net>]

<x-flowed>Just to add my experience to the collective knowledge.....

I did the floor pans of Sophy (inside and out) with POR-15 two summers 
and one winter ago. (yes I drove her in the Michigan winter...but not 
this year)  The POR has held up to this torture test well.

I even used the POR as the resin for a bit of fiberglass patch repair 
on the driverside floorpan and this has held up really well.

I also bought a floor pan for Jane from Jim Adney when I first picked 
up Sophy.  The floorpan had been leaning outside in the Wisconsin 
winters for a number of years and then proceeded to lean against the 
outside of my garage until this summer.  Anyway, I hated to see the POR 
on the brush go to waste when I was working on Sophy, so used the 
floorpan to clean the bulk of the POR from the brush.  I had wire 
brushed the bottom of the floorpan to get the dirt and weeds and loose 
rust scale from the bottom, but nothing else.  No wire wheeling, no 
sand blasting, no Metal Ready.  I went out in the garage tonight and 
looked over the floorpan and can see no rust coming through any of the 
POR painted surface yet and most of it is 18+ months old and most of it 
is a single coat that was exposed to the sun.

I am happy with the results and will continue to use it.  YMMV.
