I guess you didnt see my pics? The rust is in the seam flange. I'm happy for anybody that has been able to stop it. But it's still in there, (Depending on how much was in there to begin with) No matter how well the Por 15 sticks And No matter how long it sticks. Is there a consenses that the Por 15 somehow magically sucks it out from between the inside of the seam and the outside of the seam? I would think not but...YMMV. But then we're kind of Beating a dead dog(s eye) here arent we? As Forest sez: "and that's all I got to say about that".
