Hi Dave,

Yes will be epoxy primered and then I will paint and Dynax it.

Will make the repair section up soon so the pics should become more interesting!

Not very exciting I’m afraid but this is the rear bottom of the sill, which had the majority of the surface rust compared to the rest which is virtually spotless with the factory primer still in tact.

You can see the tide line in the original paint/primer. Pretty please with it...good stuff.

That should say dynax not dynasty

Hi Dave,

Yes, I also have set for to the inside of a sill with the dynasty S 50 previously, terrifying but quickly burns off.

This is not flammable, it is a concentrated rust remover designed more as a parts bath rust remover. As I have the top of the rear of the sill removed for repair by the strengthened and the rest of the sill is solid with light surface rust I am using the solution to sit and remove the surface rust. Which it has! As I say I have increased the tide level and will post pictures later. The way I then remove it is by removing the bung I have made from the drain points at the rear of the sill, I have sectioned it off with plastic and plumbers gold so the area in question is about 40 cm of the sill from the back.

Will post pics later....

Hello All,

I had used Bilt Hamber Deox C before to clean up a few rusty bits, (I’ll post a pic of this) I then decided that at the back of the sill where I have it open I would build a barrier using ‘Plumbers Gold’ sealant (I’m a plumber) and pour in Deox C, it came out amazingly, I have filled again to a higher tide level and will post the result tomorrow. Amazing stuff, if you use it with cold water it does nothing, mixed with very hot water it is superb, and a very lazy way of removing rust from bits you can submerge and leave!

Take care,

Richard.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply, I think that given everything else is solid and as you say the work involved in getting the sill out in terms of cutting in to sound metal I will fabricate the rear section and weld in.

IN the early days when sills were £40 i would have said replace the sill, but now as a sill is £ 150 ish if the rust is only a small area id repair it, but if its a big area replace the sill, you have to remember to replace a sill you have to cut a lot of the body work away to get access to it
