Jan,
You mentioned one time Mar-Tex(see below) then PPG's DPLF epoxy primer
for top coating over once "Picklex 20", then RASS-O-NIL.
I presume Picklex and Rass are the same.
But for I found for Mar-Tex only: "Adhesives, Fiberglass and Epoxies >
Marine Resins > Marine Tex ", which are more of the category of Bondo
resins! 
What is best and correct???? If Mar-tex what is the source please.
Thanks, 
Robert Jaarsma

1st:
If you want to convert the rust, use RASS-O-NIL
http://www.autobodystore.com/r-o-n.htm
I use it on my restorations, where I can't remove the rust.
If you want to keep metal from rusting, primer it with PPG's DPLF epoxy
primer. I don't use anything else.  Jan   

2nd:
Why you are applying POR-15 products? POR-15 is not that good a product
to keep rust away and it's pretty expensive. I highly recommend that you
apply only epoxy primer on all the bare metal areas. As a top coat, I
recommend a single stage urethane. 
You want to treat the rusty areas with a rust converter like Picklex 20
http://www.autobodystore.com/r-o-n.htm). The rest of the clean metal
should be treated with a metal conditioner. For an epoxy, to fill the
rust pin holes, I use a high quality epoxy called Marine-Tex. It is very
strong and sands nice. Jan jumpinjan <jservaites@woh.rr.com>
