nexussteve The reason you're happy! Sep 13, 2008 #5 I've just under-sealed most of mine with tetrosyl. Most of it went on the sills, and under the new wing I put in. Everyone should do it. It's a mucky job, but for the price you pay, you'll be thankful in the long run!!

nexussteve The reason you're happy! Sep 14, 2008 #8 Rust is oxidation afterall. If air can't reach it, it shouldn`t be able to spread...technically...
R RTLkyuubi Ex. Club Member Sep 16, 2008 #10 you will only be able to slow it down, as there will be oxygen / moisture trapped in between the flakes it will carry on. unless you treat it (either cut it all out or use some of that anti rust gel stuff) then it will come back.
