fotorat Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi I have removed all the loose stuff and wirebrushed it up and applied Kurust, photos are about 1 hour after kurust went on. I was planning to just finish it off ny painting hammerite over the area, but due to the depth and shape of the holes I think I should fill it to stop it clogging with mud/snow ect. I am stopping short of cutting the whole area out and welding new in as it has not gone all the way through yet and despite the rust the remaining area is nice and solid. I was thinking of priming it, then filling it and priming over the filler? it there any rust inhibiting filler on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Why not just cut it out and weld in new metal? It will only come back to haunt you and probably when you need it to the least!!! If you are good and patient with your welder then you could put a nice seamless patch in there and no body would ever know, stops a future head ache too. Some will say just prime it and use epoxy filler and paint it but whats the point? Might as well do it properly to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotorat Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I have wire brushed it again, red oxide primed it and just filled it with easy sand, felt like a bodge job but at least its better than before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Im with DD on this one. Rust is like cancer - unless you cut it all out it will just come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
