    What is your step by step bare metal prep? How do you treat metal if there is suspect of rust pinholes that could not be removed by DA grinding? Please answer as if blasting is not the preferred option. Will epoxy primer seal out any oxygen to prevent rust from forming from pinholes that have been missed? Thank you.

    • @autobodysource
      @autobodysource 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for your inquiry on the DTM Primer, along with the question on how to prepare a rusty pinhole steel surfaces. When removing and cleaning up rusty pinholes, the entire pinhole pit must be completely cleared of any rust Sometimes … er, most of the times, DA sanding will not get down far enough to fully remove and clean the pinhole. DA sanding will work fine on very shallow, surface type pinholes. Regarding deeper pinholes, we would recommend Sandblasting. Sandblasting is a great process to fully clean out rusty pinholes. However, be careful as to not over heat the metal, as it could cause warping of the metal. The primer will seal out oxygen causing further rust, again only if the pinholes are completely cleared.

    Yes, the government is to blame, but none of the products work anymore. Marketing departments keep adding and changing the product names and packaging and seeming to suggest that these new formulas work like the old Klean-Strip with Methylene Chloride which is what everyone wants and expects. Most of these are $75-$100+ per gallon and they just don't work. You might as well pay to have the parts sandblasted or sand it by hand. Everyone who is in the industry knows this.
