    Hello Jerry. My wife's 05 camery needs some love she has reluctantly, retired it from daily use. It has over 315.000 miles on it a 2.4 banger, driven highway all of its life, but we both decided she should get something newer. She has a career yet, I am retired. I am going to keep it around for a backup car. Little bubbling rust in the rear left wheelwell area other wise she is solid. The camery will be my next garage project. Take care.

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can apply it to the back or both sides if you want. Or... undercoat or seal the back to stop future rust. It's all up to you and what you think will stop the rust. Personally, I think drainage of the inside of the panel is huge. If it can drain and stay dry in there, you're gold :)

      It can hold up for a long time if you can coat and seal the back side of the panel (undercoating or thick rustoleum paint.

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  ปีที่แล้ว

      For DA sanding around your body work, it's very common to start with 120 grit or even old 40 grit on a bondo hog to knock the grinder marks down fast. Then move to 220-240 further out and scuff even further to make sure you don't get primer on shiny paint. This is what body shops use - internet, TV, etc. will probably say finer grit. For speed and production though start with a course grit and move to finer - much faster and less materials being wasted.

    I have went through three auto body schools. This fix is only good if you can get behind it to put a water barrier behind it. Another new product on the market is panel adhesive and a piece of metal over the spot. The issue with that is feathering which 9 times out of 10 the eye will not see if you you are a little high. Cutting the metal out and butt welding is the only way to make good as new.

    Thank you for your informative videos. I watched this one and another you made, concerning using fiberglass as an alternative to welding. I might mention that I had a problem. I used regular filler after the fiberglass application and the glass at the ends of the patch popped through my primer. I know I used resin to smooth it all but after sanding it down, I had this issue. In your other video, there was a small segment where you mentioned Bondo Glass. I ground off my filler and bought some of this and it seems to be working. All that said, did I do something wrong?

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sorry - I was not able to get to your first post on this for some reason. When you sand your fiberglass, you'll want to make sure the edges are smooth and "feathered" into the metal. Your filler should also feather into the metal. Everything should be smooth when you spray your primer surfacer. Make sure you use "High Build" primer surfacer (Urethane Primer Surfacer or Lacquer Primer Surfacer) as this has thickness which covers up the bodywork imperfections. You will then block sand this and it will be perfect. Here's a video on block sanding: th-cam.com/video/EQmqKhLkeOQ/w-d-xo.html Hope this answers you ? - if not ask again - Jerry

      This will not last as long as welded patch panels or panel adhesive - but it is an accepted auto body repair in the industry. Without protection on the back - you'll probably get 2-3 years out of it before seeing the rust start to push the filler away from the metal.

      The easiest way to cover larger areas. Is to use a "form" . By form read anything that can temporarily hold the desired shape until it dry enough to self support.
      All is fair game. Metal mesh, aluminum or stainless steel work quite well. So does wax paper, plastic bags, cardboard, duct tape... BTW duct tape is perfect to hold plastic or paper in place. Depending on resin type, material, thickness, hardner, etc. We might be talking about 10 minutes to overnight. So your "form" is a very temporary need. After a single layer of cloth, others can be added later. Bridging a hole can be a minutes thing! ;-)

    What is black sanded? Thanks

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, should have put a link to what that is. It is using sand paper on a nice flat block to make sure your filler or primer is perfect - "block sanding" Here's a few vids on that:th-cam.com/video/EQmqKhLkeOQ/w-d-xo.html

      I have more videos on that topic under the auto body tips and techniques playlist. Hope that helps

    Do you find that a fiberglass repair under filler will last any shorter or longer than say welding a new piece of steel in?

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Welding does last longer if you don't coat the back with something. If you can seal the back side, it will last forever - really :) Jerry

    Thanks, very helpful video.
    I have 2 holes that were cut into my tractor engine cover (previous owner/previous engine) about 3" x 4" square.
    Is there any hole size limitations?
    How can the fiberglass cloth be supported from sagging while the resin is setting up?

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you would be OK - remember boats are made in the same fashion but more layers so for bigger holes use more layers for more strength

      Get some paint sticks that fit across the span of the rear of the hole, and put magnets on the ends of the sticks. Lay the sticks from behind and perhaps place foil or wax paper between the fiberglass and the wood sticks to keep the resin from bonding to them. I only saw this today, so my apologies for being late!

      You can use cardboard with a sheet of wax paper over it and place the cardboard on the inside of the repair once it’s hard remove the cardboard and wax paper once the repair is completed and paint is cured apply some oil behind the repair and then brush on some asphalt black undercoat working it into the oiled metal and fibreglass so water and dampness and salt can’t soak into repair don’t skip the oiling trust me 50 years experience it works . The Encapsulates only cover rust I don’t use then on old metal , they would be fine on brand new car/truck under wheel wells and frames floors but won’t stop inner frame rust or seam or weld rust

  • @carmo9693
    @carmo9693 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How long does this type of repair last for. I always thought when metal is rotted out like that you had to cut it out so it doesn't continue to rot out, even if it was sand blasted?

    • @LakesideAutobody
      @LakesideAutobody  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you seal both sides it will last forever (well almost). If you don't seal the back or at least give the water and moisture a way to drain out - you're right it will return. The rate depends on how often it's driven in salt and moisture. If it's a trailer queen it will again last forever :)
