Are you guys treating the rusted metal, especially back in the tiny crevices
of the seems with something like Osphro ?
Got to zap ALL rust inside everywhere, not just cover it up.
I got some of that POR PATCH too that someone suggested on here ...........
Man that stuff is like the ultimate bondo.
Dries rock hard, sticks to metal really well, and is a tiny bit flexible,
just like the metal of the van.

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".
