I had picked up a used stick welder and had hoped to develop enough skill to weld the patches. After melting a bunch of metal (practicing on scrap, thankfully!) I decided I didn't want to create more holes in the floor, so I needed a way to patch without welding. Although I have heard of people using ceiling material, I was wary of thin metal being susceptible to rust. I have also heard of people patching the bolt holes with pennies. However, even though you pretty much cover the pennies with epoxy or adhesive, I was worried about the different metals creating corrosion. So I opted to buy a sheet of 16 gauge steel for $40. Por 15 vs Rust Bullet I painted the steel with two coats of Rust Bullet. I considered POR15, but I opted for the Rust Bullet because it claimed not to need as much prep. I do plan on undercoating the bus as well, but I wanted as much rust protection as I could get. Many forums and reviews of POR 15 spoke favorably of the product but were adamant that meticulous surface prep was critical to its success. It also was over $40 a quart. According to the Rust Bullet website, "Rust Bullet simplifies rust prevention by eliminating the need for extensive surface preparation" (https://www.rustbullet.com/por-15-vs-.... I like the sound of that. In addition, it is designed to "penetrate the metal surface and mix the rust. This feature helps in better rust prevention for the products and attacks rust right at the root level thus offering better protection." Moreover, at around $30 a quart it's almost $10 less expensive than POR 15. I didn't feel confident in my ability to perfectly prepare a surface. Even though I used a lot of new steel, I planned to use any leftover material to coat the floor surfaces where grinding out steel had thinned the metal. I wanted to maximize rust protection and couldn't guarantee that it was perfectly prepped, so I went with the Rust Bullet. (https://amzn.to/3b29dli) We were liberal with the adhesive, covering pretty much the entire underside of the patches with 3M 5400. I thought it would take more, but we did the entire bus with one tube. After the adhesive dried, I put a thick coat of Rustoleum paint on the entire floor to seal it up good! Hopefully...NO MORE RUST!! Check out our blog at: https://eddy-line.com/2020/02/01/rust... in a new tab)
