[@P8FPV]

Nice 👌 but I would buy some aluminium mesh and fix in the hole for the filler to bond to first 😉

[@chmartin444]

Awesome job I'm going to give my focus a go now.

[@mrrobbiechildrensmusic4587]

i feel inspired to simply do this now thanks!

[@LT_TOMMY_]

Thanks, please remember this won't last forever, rust will usually return at some point in the future but this will definitely get you through a few bad winters 👍👍👍

[@tgtg2945]

Yes true. Stop rust or slow it down is big saver of car or truck

[@BoiseTDI]

What about the rust on the inside?

[@robertkruczynski243]

Żyje swoim życiem 😁

[@lolsosler]

if u cant see it its not there

[@techscrew2]

It’s invisible to the naked eye

[@martinlewis2143]

Fantastic! 🎸🎶

[@hhova29]

By re sanding wouldn’t you be removing the rust converter you initially placed on the area?

[@simplymolife]

The rust would have been converted by that time

[@fleurmacdonald2964]

a light sanding after kurust can help key it ready to paint over as well

[@paulbeaumont7485]

I’ve got a Mk6 transit, do they sell that p40 in bulk!?

[@LT_TOMMY_]

Mate i have no idea , got that from Halfords , probably get a bigger tub online somewhere 👍

[@del2833]

Maybe you will get a buy 2 get 1 free, stronger than the metal they use on transits anyway, I know as I’ve welded plenty of them

[@bradleyhyland2953]

[@vilikarac6776]

cool I should be able to do this in 4 minutes .

[@fatihbural7845]

You should be able to do this in 3:39 minutes.

[@richardjones7539]

Youll be doing it again in a month

[@carr2oman103]

For those who wanted an easy way to fix echo holes in my video channel

[@paulloper8333]

Did it come back already?

[@LT_TOMMY_]

I had the van for roughly 6-7 months after and was still ok , sold it now so no idea after that 👍

[@LT_TOMMY_]

Very well put mate , couldn't agree more 👌👍

[@BoiseTDI]

@@LT_TOMMY_ Too bad for the poor soul who bought it with this incomplete repair. As Irish said, the inside needs to be dealt with also.

[@LT_TOMMY_]

@@BoiseTDI The person who brought the van was fully aware of the diy repair that I'd done . I make it very clear in the description that this is only a temp fix 👍

[@mrsemifixit]

@Irish Viking Would just leaving the rust help it not spread and cause more issues like you’ve mentioned?

[@husainmehri786]

this guy didnt even tell us what grit snadpaper we need

[@matthewellis9885]

You do realise that you're trying to bodge the repair of a structural, load bearing part of your chassis right? There was metal there in the first place for a reason.
Any tester worth their salt will fail and laugh you out of the place.
This is the problem, rather than fixing people just pop filler on there!
Learn to weld, grab yourself some scrap sheet metal and a cheap welder and have it done in a few hours - that way the repair is strong.

[@vaughnfoster6451]

Nothing wrong with using fiberglass it's strong and waterproof.

[@matthewellis9885]

@@vaughnfoster6451 If it's that strong why aren't all cars made from it? It's a steel structure therefore should be repaired with steel and welded properly otherwise it's not a proper job.

[@Timberdoodle197]

Do no harm only a sill

[@1086samrat]

Definitely not structural and definitely not part of chassis don't nothing wrong with repair keep up the work

[@razal135]

Mixed paste name?

[@LT_TOMMY_]

Isopon body filler p40 👍

[@eekamoose]

@@LT_TOMMY_ You're too kind. If somebody can't even be arsed to write a proper question and they just bark out a few words I don't think it's worth gracing them with an answer.

[@dariuszpan4270]

with this tutorial you will see rust bubbles next year...don't do that! and see ISOPON professional tutorial.

[@LT_TOMMY_]

Check the description mate , this is only a quick fix 👍

[@syruseye]

Where’s your video?

[@handsfree1000]

That will last about 12 months before it returns

[@Adventure.with.Robbie]

For what you have paid for that fibre glass kit, you could have just got the hole welded up be a professional for about £40. That repair will be lucky to last a year and will only make things worse. It will get you through a MOT as a temporary fix

[@LT_TOMMY_]

As described in the description mate it's a temp fix at best.
The fibreglass filler was about £7

[@matthewjenkins1161]

@@LT_TOMMY_ A temporary fix means to regain functionality, like using a coat hanger to hold up an exhaust so you can get to a garage or home.
Plugging structural rust holes with fibreglass filler doesn't restore any functionality and just makes the problem worse.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

That wont fail an MOT as it's just bodywork.

[@TheMrWoodsman]

This is not a good repair and not a good way to deal with a rust hole.

[@haider7866]

I would just put tape over it and then paint it white

[@fatihbural7845]

Yeah we all have that rust remover tool at home.

[@LT_TOMMY_]

It's just a mouse sander , mine was £14 new

[@megaruhe6296]

Well watch a different video if you don't have a sander.
