I have been told by someone off the list that Corroless can be used on
rusted, slightly rusted as well as sanded areas, while POR can only be used
on really rusted areas or it will not stick. Also most other paints will go
over it...
Also, for areas that are very tight, he recommended using Extend which has
the consistency of WD-40 to seep into the seams, and then use corroless
over that. This was on a Porsche 914, which are known for rusting, and he
says it has been three years and no rust is back.
FYI....

Subject: Winnie vs Corroless
<<If I discover that POR15 is substantially
better, I'll take the loss and get POR15 considering the amount of work it
takes to get to the a "stripped frame" stage. Any input would be
appreciated.>>
Winnie,
I just read a pretty good book on car restoration (Modern Techniques for
Auto
Restoration by Ken Wickman - 1998 Krouse Publications) and 'Corrolless'
(put
on top of rust) was the product shown but POR15 was mentioned as
equivalent... then again he seemed to tout a few products made by Eastman
Co.
including 'Oxisolv' (for removing rust).
His recommendation for where to use Corrolless or POR15? ..."use in places
sandblasting cannot reach''. But reccommends never to sandblast any
exterior
panels for risk of warping...
