Hopefully, I also suggested and you used POR-15 first.


I don't recall whether or not you did, but I just ground all the rust off
and used Interprotects's primer wash before applying the barrier coat. Seems
to be holding up pretty well.


Well, you'll probably have a good decade before you have to do it again.

Barrier coats *slow* water and dissolved oxygen down, but nothing stops them.

Next time, I'll bang the big flakes off, leaving light rust, then do
the Zinc-something wash to convert the rust and provide a good POR
bond. Fill, fair, then probably whatever the best barrier coat is at
the time.
