THAT POST ABOUT UNDERCOAT

[OBX-AUTOMOTIVE]

SOMEONE WAS TALKING ABOUT ROOFING TAR...WELL!! I REMEMBER USING ROOFING TAR THAT COMES IN A 5 GAL BUCKET,FOR UNDERCOAT...WHAT WE WOULD DO IS, CUT IT WITH THINNER...SO YOU CAN SPRAY IT...I USED A 3M SPRAY GUN TO PUT IT ON....THE SAME ONE I USED TO OIL MY F-ING DOORS DOWN!! ONE MORE THING!!! YOU CAN GET THINNER AT WAL MART...FOR UNDER 7.00 A GAL.....I THINK IT'S THE HOT TYPE THINNER...JUST GOOD FOR CLEANING PAINT GUNS AND SPRAYING UNDERCOAT....IT'S WERE THEY HAVE THE BONDO AND SAND PAPER...GOT IT???? GOOD !!!!.... ......ME!!!!!!!! :eek: :rolleyes:

GARY,GOTTA AUTOBODY Q FOR U. HAVE YOU HEARD OF USING BOILED LINSEED OIL AS A RUST SEALER? AS A CARPENTER,I VE USED LINSEED OIL. ITS AN INGREDIENT IN OLD TIME HOUSEPAINT. SUPPOSEDLY IT CREATES AN AIRTIGHT SEAL. NO AIR=NO RUST. JUST CURIOUS

I used to use roofing tar to seal around edges of floor patches then lay the sound deadener right over it. The early rustproofing materials wern't much more than tar anyway. The worked good as long as they stuck good,but ?????. I think the new comercial products are much better.

I'VE BEEN REALLY GETTING AFTER MY J20 WITH THE TAR TOO. BOUGHT A WHOLE 5 GAL. BUCKET OF IT AND SLAPPED IT ON EVERYTHING WITH A BIG BRUSH. COATED THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE, INSIDE DOORS, FRAME. GREAT STUFF!! ALSO BEEN SPRAYING ANY LITTLE PLACES FULL OF OLD GEAR OIL LIKE THE CHANNELS UNDER THE FLOOR. IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT'LL WORK AND I HOPE IT DOES. OLD FRAME BROKE IN HALF!! DONT WANT THAT AGAIN!!
