The tranny is out & cleaned inside & out. The new clutch, pressure
plate & throw out bearing are sitting on the shelf. The bilge is
clean & free of grease. What is the name of that stuff that some of
you use to prevent rust inside the bilge? Thanks Ray

Some use waxoil or Eastwood heavy duty antirust which is pretty much the same
stuff. If bilge is spotlessly blasted clean you can use gluvit which is an
epoxy based sealer. Some swear by por-15, others say stay away.

Hello Ray,

I use POR 15 around the battery tray area but then topcoat that and
do the whole interior (up to the cross brace under the spare tire)
with an epoxy mastic material. (Dupont Corlar 25P is one brand but
there is at least one other identical brand out there. Billy Syx
told me about the stuff and I consider it one of the best restoration
tips that I received when doing my cars. The stuff is designed to
withstand continuous immersion under gas and oil. The material
doesn't require a primer and works fine as a top coat since it can
comes in colors but can be custom colored to any shade you want.
It's rather thick and can be worked with a roller to give the look of
the original Amphicar interior coating. It dries rather to a rather
flat finish and is very durable. It also isn't bothered by UV the
way POR 15 is. It's an industrial finish and well worth the time to
track down.

Under the front hood and around the trunk area I wanted something
that layed down more so I used a marine top deck paint with as much
flattening agent as it would take. It leaves a nice semi gloss
finish that is also durable.

Re: Re: Goop

The thing to remember with POR-15 is that the surface
needs to be prepped really well and must be COMPLETELY
free of ANY oil or grease residue. If not, it WILL
start lifting and then you have the problem of water
getting underneath where it lifts. Waxoil type
coatings are already an oily goop which never really
dries so it is nice for coating many areas that you
just can not get cleaned up or will be hidden and you
just want some extra protection. If the surface is
prepped properly, POR-15 is a very durable coating.

Ray,

I use spray versions of the Waxoil type coatings inside the rails
that you can't really get at, such as inside the lid frame rails.
The stuff I use comes from Eastwood but I think it's pretty much the
same thing as the Waxoil. I don't use that stuff where it shows
because it can't be top coated and isn't all that attractive to look
at.

Ray and Bill,

I use that Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector on the contacts inside
the lamp assemblies. I find it difficult to completely eliminate
water from the front turn signal lenses and I run with
essentially "open" headlight assemblies. That metal protector stuff
is thin enough to coat things pretty evenly and yet tough enough to
protect and not come off easily. I also spray the adjusting screws
inside the headlamp assemblies so that they don't rust away. It
would probably also work inside the support frame areas.

I have a certain benifit by the fact that I drive the car 15 to 20
miles to and from the local lakes. The benifit is that most all the
cars parts are comepletely dried out by the time I get home.

Re: Re: Goop

As I've said many times, there's nothing an Amphi likes better now and then
than a good long road roll to properly dry out, loosen up and blow out the
cobwebs. As for the Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protectant Spray, as part of my
general Spring shakedown I generally blast a whole can or two of the stuff
into all of OLD BUOY's various nooks and crannies: the engine compartment
(especially between the radiator and hull), into the door frames through the
drain and door hinge holes, the trunk, around the wheel wells and
suspension, and so on. The spray can comes with one of those little red
tubes for precision dosing or you can just sort of "mist" it everywhere.
Great stuff.

Ray and Bill,

I use that Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector on the contacts inside
the lamp assemblies. I find it difficult to completely eliminate
water from the front turn signal lenses and I run with
essentially "open" headlight assemblies. That metal protector stuff
is thin enough to coat things pretty evenly and yet tough enough to
protect and not come off easily. I also spray the adjusting screws
inside the headlamp assemblies so that they don't rust away. It
would probably also work inside the support frame areas.

I have a certain benifit by the fact that I drive the car 15 to 20
miles to and from the local lakes. The benifit is that most all the
cars parts are comepletely dried out by the time I get home.
