Subject:Rust Proofing 81' Westy

I have taken some great information from this site
http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/VWindex/ on rust proofing my van.  I have made
a few modifications to the products used as some are not locally available.
Instead of the normal expanding foam I used the Acrylic type which will not
buckle any of the panels, also it can be reused after opening.  I have also
found some sound deadener that is typically used for the inside of farm
implement cabs for that same use.  I could not find Kool Patch products up
in Canada so I am using a product made by Bondo called Undercoating.
    I have a few small rust spots on the inside which I will be addressing
prior to the application of the undercoating etc.  I am interested in this
naval jelly.  I have never heard of it.  Could you help me out with a brand
name or a web page or a place to purchase it?
