Re[2]: Floor rust - B

[Steve_Masefield@rohmhaas.com (Steve Masefield)]

     When I did my B floor I cured the rust as you propose to and then I  
     used boiling hot roof tar. This gives a close approximate to the 
     original material used and provided you apply hot and onto a clean dry 
     surface adhesion is 100%. It also flows well - but its nasty stuff to 
     handle.

That's another option I'm considering.  Lay down a good layer of 
water-repellent glop!
     
Or punch a weep hole somewhere and always park facing downhill.  :)
     
Gotta wonder why that nice thick sound-deadening rubbery material that the 
factory installed didn't cover the floor completely.  Leaving the raised 
portions of the metal exposed was stupid.  It also creates neat channels for 
water to collect in.
