Hi, I have no experience with the Eastwood stuff... but do know that the POR-15 actually likes rust! It forms its best bond to rusted surfaces, and seals to an epoxy hard finish that allows no oxygen in (no air = no rust... right??) I know what a pain the prep is for these projects... sucks that you had to go over several areas TWICE!! I have noticed that if I do not clean the areas throughly enough with the Marine Clean product, that any little fleck of oil, or silikon, or paint, will make that area just "bead up" drawing the POR-15 away from the "dirty" area, and there is nothing you can do... a second coat will be repelled just as much as the first. RSF IMPORTANT!!! In order to reply to me, you must have the word "FISH" somewhere in the subject line of the email. Otherwise it goes directly in the trash. <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ Robert S.
