Re: [alfa] the next project - removing dirt from the panel behind the fender

[Rodney Leng <hages73@xxxxxxxxx>]

The paragraph for the test results does mention a condition called "solvent pop" and the ring formation after 2 months of exposure, which is unacceptable. They tried POR-15 full strength without dilution and the solvent pop was still there. ALSO the cure time is too long. Of course this is only a major concern if you are working an area where surface quality is important(hood, roof top, fenders, etc).
 
Again, there is cheaper alternative and seemingly better product out there. I have some rust work and I'll go with the Eastwood product with the conclusions from this article. If people are loyal to POR, that's fine.
 
Happy restoring!

BUT - they chose to spray it on and had to thin it using 10% solvent vs POR recommendation of 5% - maybe not a fair trial, especially compared to brushing on.

Not endorsing Eastwood products, but I am on their email list and this is worth a look; there is an independent comparison with POR-15 to their product:

The above link may get chopped off, it should be one long string.
