por 15 or primer??

[swing first]

Whats up guys.... I am currently restoring a friend of mines 65 vw bug. The floor pans were junk so i cut the floor out and welded a new one in. Anyways, my question is if anybody has used por 15 as a sealer. I know you can pour it over rust and it's supposed to kill it but the floor is brand new... I thought of just priming it with some urethane primer but it's covered by carpet and he wants to go the cheap route....I thought of getting a can of rubberized undercoat but the heater channels run along the floor and would probably make it all gooey... any suggestions???
:confused:

Cool, I was just wondering what some other shops were using. At work I would just variprime it then base it but my buddy is cheap ya know....

tell him to go the extra few $$$$ unless he wants to repair it again

por15 will last a long time, and cleans easily, but not off ur hands lol. primer will let the water soak thru. por 15 goes a long way, it spreads really thin.

I'd recommend the por15, especially on a rustbucket like a VWbug. I live in Arizona and had an original Arizona car that STILL had rusted out floorpans even without winter or salt or really even any rain.

epoxy primer will do. but por 15 will be better.

actually...I've had bad luck with por-15 on fresh metal...does good on rust though. I used it on my link bars...fresh clean metal. fallowed all the steps, used the marine clean and the other stuff....it flaked off...had to go back get it all off and repaint. I've used the tank sealer, works great...and used it on areas that had rust did great..Just had bad luck on fresh metal. So, I would say in this case save the money.
