dgezy Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Quite a while ago there was discussion about treating the HDT frames during the conversion process to stop further rusting. Of course I can't find that information. I am looking for the product names people were using to treat the rust. I would like to do that to the lower panels of my pickup truck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thourgh cleaning and good paint. I mean cleaning with a wire wheel on a end grinder/buffer. That's what we do in construction and no rust. Rust is like a cancer. It will spread until removed. Rust is caused by oxidantion. Seal it, good paint, after removing rust and fixed. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Kildow Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Did one a few years back. Sand blasted the frame, it was on the trailer. Then covered it with POR15. Looks as good today as it did when the 16ft trailer was redone. While a guy that just cleaned his and sprayed it with primer and paint. His looks sad.

VegasFlyer Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 We used Rust Kutter from Tractor Supply and Extend, a Loctite product. Both prices indicate that yo should remove all loose rust and scale, but not to bring it down to shiny bare metal, the chemical compounds actually convert the iron oxide into a polymer primer.

HERO Maker Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 POR 15 says the same thing as John. Don't take it down to the shinny metal. If you do, leave it out until there is a slight rust on it so POR 15 can do it's thing. It will fade to a gray after awhile, but it sealing properties are still there. Just paint it a color of your choice after it dries.

alan0043 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 There is also a product called ' Rust Bullet '. There is also another product called ' Chassis Saver '. They work like POR-15.

Refuzn-To-Grow-Up Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have been looking into a products called "rust converter." My major concern is what damage, if any, can be done, by the product, to wires, rubber, insulation, plastic etc. Here is a link to one of the products. I have not tried any of these products.
