Best method of killing rust...
Posted: 11 Apr 2012, 17:19
So with the help of you guys and the rest of the internet, I'm quickly learning how to get started on restoring my van. The problem is that I'm confused by the infinite amount of ways to attack the rusty parts of my van, and if you've seen my other post you'll know that it's in quite a lot of places.
I've read about so many different products and methods of getting rid of rust, but just want to know what you guys feel is the best approach? Would you mind explaining in as much detail as you can be bothered to give.
Firstly what if the metal has eaten right through the panel? Do you approach it differently depending on the size of hole, or do you recommend always welding if there's even the slightest hole?
Also, surface rust... what's your method?
I'm really new to it all and there's too many options for me to know which is best. Ideally I'd like to do the best job I possibly can, but that's dependant on how much time and money the best method costs.
Thanks
