What do i use to seal my floor pan???

Hi guys, thinking of rust proofing the inside floor pan of my 67 fasty and was looking for some advice.

The pan seems to be rust free, with the exception of surface rust. After I have sanded to bare metal, what would people recommend I then use (remember that I will then be re-carpeting the area.

Is killrust the best option or por15, and now I am reading about penetrol!

can i mix penetrol with killrust or por15?

Just looking for some ideas, thanks

Pat

por seems to be the go, I have used killrust with mixed results

Fish oil and underseal - Spray it wish fish oil right through ... esp in the hard to get at bits. Then mix up 20% fish oil and 80% underseal and paint on (underside). That's if your sealing after repairs as such, else try Rust Bullet off Volksfolks, less mess than Por 15 and it claims to be better ... just paint it on.

Fish oil is great for blowing in where water traps of moisture builds up...stinks but.

thanks

Not sure about rustbullet, but you can't/shouldn't paint POR over fish oil etc. POR isn't that bad, you do paint it on, it self levels etc, but just don't get any on your skin as it doesn't wash off!
Unsure, but apparently Rustbullet is a better paint. Check with anyone who has used them both. I have only used POR. I know it forms hard, as for what your pan looks like check out http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=5957  thats what my pan looked like then. I am guessing that both products are easy to use.

I've used POR 15 on the pan of my '63 project. The finish is great and it doesn't chip or scratch. Reading the directions is important, especially ensuring the surface is prepared correctly, but if you intend doing it right first time, then the extra effort goes without saying.
