<VV> Gutting the passenger compartment

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Connie, there are a couple of things to remember about POR 15.  It has
virtually no shelf life once you open the can.  Regardless of what size
container you get, if the least amount of POR 15 gets into the lip of the
can, you will seal it for life.  I have seen recommendations for pouring the
product into smaller containers that can be resealed individually.  

You cannot pour unused portions back into the larger can.  That will
contaminate the product and further limit the shelf life.  POR recommends
scooping out small portions at a time, use what you need and discard what
you don't use.  If you can successfully do this, a pint will go a long way.
But you must not get any of the product into the lip of the can, if so clean
it all out. 

Wear gloves and goggles.  Ask Ned.  If you get any of this stuff on you, you
wear it proudly for a week or more, depending on how much skin you are
willing to rub off in the shower. 

The stuff does work, and it is rock hard when fully cured.  

Also, I can purchase mine locally at an auto paint supplier.  If you have an
auto paint supplier that sells to the public, you might want to check with
them for advice and products.

Thanks for all the input on cleaning the metal and the POR 15 and
Hammerite.  You guys are great.  Thankfully, we are not facing rust
through.

POR's web site doesn't state how much you need ?

Kid is out of the trunk....tried to talk me into keeping it for a pet.
I just NEVER let him do anything.  <g>

If POR-15 isn't your cup of tea via either price or availability, 
give Hammerite a try.  Pretty good stuff.    Works well.   Hard to 
complain about what I've experienced with it.

And, it won't cause you to become ill and die.

Or...  she grabs the snake and says "thank you, how sweet" in front 
of witnesses.   Embarrassment works.
