Listees,

I use the digest so this thread has probably ended, but..... I learned
about por 15 while on the type2 list. It was universally accepted as
being the best. Instructions must be followed! Rust must not be
completely removed as some must be present for the chemical
interaction (no idea how it works).  A piece of plastic wrap must be
placed on top of the can before the lid is replaced. That is if you
want to ever remove it again.

That said, the stuff is great. I repaired floor pans in a 78 Westy.
Results were great. I had actually begun to coat the entire underside
of the vehicle when, unfortunately, a teenager in a high rise pickup
crashed the side.

I now drive a near perfect 89 westy and have painted it on the
trailing arms. It's extremely strong. Has a sort of epoxy feel after
it drys. Seems semi bullet proof. Only disclaimer is that UV rays
degrade it so any application exposed to sunlight must be top coated
with primer and paint.

Type2 archives will probably turn up the address of a mom and pop
operation in NJ that sells it $29.95 usd per quart with free shipping.

BTW, I've only purchased one quart, used it many times, have half
left, and have never had any trouble with it drying out in the can.
It's consistency seems to be about what it was when I bought it 3-4
years ago. Used some the other day on my commuter.

Regards,

Fred
