So I was looking the rust that is creeping slowly into the seam points on the van and had a strange thought. Let me here your thoughts... Why not brush/grind/sand out the rust to bare metal, cover with POR15, then fill all the van seams with some type of filler to prevent any moisture build up in there. I was not sure what the best way to fill the seam would be, one thought was Bondo, another was using.. And I know its strange but the thought crossed my mind... Silicone! They have silicone which lasts for over 20 years ( I saw something from GE that said it lasted 45years!) that can be painted and remains flexible. I thought maybe since my van is silver I could silver Silicone to seal in the seam after the POR15. I know it�s a weird and wacky idea. Let me know here all the problems with the idea and what the solution is. I thought the van�s lines would look better if all the seam areas were filled before it got a new paint job. POR Makes a new material for this type of job, your thoughts: http://www.por15.com/PRODUCTS/PUTTYFILLERSSEALERS/STRAIGHTLINEBODYFILLER/tab id/84/Default.aspx -- Rob NYC/Long Beach, NY 88 Wolfsburg, Silver
